Synopsis by Hal Erickson
For the second time, Assistant Director Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) is framed for murder (the first time was in the episode "Avatar"). This time, Skinner is victimized after covering up the death of a woman who was killed by rampaging bees. Mulder and Scully not only investigate the killing, but also the reason why Skinner destroyed all evidence of the bee attack. Making yet another significant appearance is the Cigarette Smoking Man (William B. Davis). Written by Howard Gordon and Frank Spotnitz, "Zero Sum" originally aired April 27, 1997.
