Trivia:
At the beginning of the episode, Scully sings Three Dog Night's "Joy to the World" to her son, William. This is the second time in the series Scully has sung, and has sung that particular song. The other was in Season 5's "Detour", in which she sings it to Mulder in the middle of the woods. more
Quotes:
Mr Van de Kamp:
Easy there, hon. You're cleaning so hard I'm afraid you're going to stick the dog in the dishwasher. Hey. Come on, now. Quit it. This is what we dreamed about. What we prayed for.
Mrs Van de Kamp:
I know. I'm sorry. I just can't stop wondering why. Why give up a child? Give it up to strangers?
Mr Van de Kamp:
God has his reason and his ways.
Older Social Worker:
Mr and Mrs Van de Kamp. Hi. This was so hard to find. I'm so sorry, but there's a page here that didn't get signed. If I can just get you to do that now.
Mr Van de Kamp:
Okay.
Older Social Worker:
Here we go. Right there.
Mr Van de Kamp:
Thanks.
Mrs Van de Kamp:
I keep asking myself a question. I know there's been a medical exam... but are you sure he's okay?
Mr Van de Kamp:
Now, honey.
Mrs Van de Kamp:
Well, why would the mother give him up?

Despite Fox Mulder's absence, Chris Carter managed to make the last two seasons of the X-Files, highly enjoyable (with a few exceptions.) What I liked about 'William' for instance was that it was a good episode that revolved around Scully, not Doggett or Reyes. Directed by David Duchovny, the story goes on about a stranger, who states that some kind of conspiracy did tests on him that have scarred his body. Scully can't identify the man, but when the man offers her information about Mulder and starts having a strange interest in her son, William, Scully is forced to make a hard decision, which in a way wraps up some of the complex mythology that has been going on for the last three years. However,with that said people will agree/disagree with me. This episode is often criticised of being slow-paced and trying to end the on-going story of The X Files too ambitiously with a sense of emptiness. I myself, like this episode but I believe it could probably have done a lot more to appeal to a wider range of people.
