So is the potential daughter first seen in the unaired but available on demand episode 3? ---

No. The girl who has a mole that the good doctor thought was a fly. ---

I hate to be an ass, but was that the first or second episode? ---

Later, he googles “douchebag” and “taint”. ---

I liked the third episode, but I’m not happy about the X-Files agents at the end. If poor Harry has to start dodging federal agents on top of everything else, I’m going to start feeling bad for him. ---

I think I’m a racist. I thought the guy who found the body at the end of episode 2 was “Big Black”, and spent much of episode 3 wondering why he wasn’t mentioning it. ---

They are NOT FBI agents - they also found the engine thing that trapped the hiker. I’m still confused why Harry was in New Mexico. ---

Final crash was into a snowbank - I suppose thats not impossible at altitude in NM, but … ok - I can accept that - ---

I think they’re alien agents looking for Tudyk ---

I just assumed this was the case. Tudyk’s character was supposed to deploy his weapon and take care of the “problem” of humans on Earth. He hasn’t done so. Home office sent out agents to investigate. Maybe that’s not what’s going on, but it is what I _assumed_ was going on (and I’m not alone). We shall see. ---

Given that agent#2 did not like agent #1 killing the guy - “thats not our mission” - my guess is they are out to find/stop Harry. ---

> [@Fair\_Rarity](#): > > I think they’re alien agents looking for Tudyk I agree. And I also think any loose ends that were caused by Harry can instead be cleverly blamed on the Agents so ongoing he won’t have to worry about any of the messes he’s caused. Such as murdering the real Harry.
