In our first episode of 2021, The Tape Store returns to The X-Files with Season 1 Episode 4: "Conduit" (air date 10/1/93) as Mulder and Scully head westward again, to Sioux City, Iowa, as they investigate the mysterious disappearance of Ruby Morris. We talk about Mulder's continued obsession and helplessness over his missing sister, Scully's effortless confidence in the face of challenge, what good Science Fiction is (to us at least), and the episode's powerful ending.
