I don't know. Seemed hurried and forced to me. Mulder and Skinner have worked together for almost 30 years now. You'd think they were beyond pushing and shoving to prove a point. Poor Scully was up, down, up, down, in a wreck, up then down again throughout the whole episode. As a 50+ year old guy like Mulder myself, work all day, drive to South Carolina, talk for 5 minutes (in harsh tones!) to the guy who appears to be the new cigarette smoking man (now with more hair!) and his partner then jump back in the car and drive back to Scully's bedside just in time to save her life - well, I'm calling bullshit. Most proper men that age would have had to spend the night with a 12 pack and a remote control before attempting the drive back. Just sayin'.
The appearance of the Mulder and Scully Juniors late in the episode combined with the quick edits and jerky cuts which then rolled into too many commercials with quick edits and jerky cuts featuring products for the quick, jerky and very hip makes it clear to me they are re-positioning the show to a much younger audience. (I am personally embarrassed that I own a phone that will not attach a dog nose and fox ears to my personal avatar - I hope you won't think less of me).
Having just watched several episodes from season 3 in the last couple of days, this episode seems a pale hybrid designed to bridge the old show to whatever the new incarnation might possibly become while at least trying to tie up some loose ends and pay respect to the original franchise - sort of a remake without without waiting for the original to be complete.
That said, I'll hang in there just to see how it all turns out. The truth is out there.
My $0.02 YMMV
