Picket Fences 3x10 Away in the Manger
|
This episode of Picket Fences was written and intended to be a crossover with the X-Files, picking up where the events of 2x10: Red Museum left off. Although CBS nixed the idea at the last minute, direct references to "Red Museum" remain in the episode. |
Takes place on Christmas. Specific mention is made of the FBI being "all over Delta Glen for the last week." This essentially brings the events of the entire Picket Fences series (1992-1996) into the same universe as the X-Files. |
