Hasn’t Scully suffered enough without learning that her miracle baby is truly the result of CSM drugging and impregnating her?
Using the name “C.G.B. Spender” isn’t exactly the most outrageous lie the Cigarette-Smoking Man ever perpetuated on The X-Files, as he seems to have kept his initials and simply added “Spender” for the sake of an alias.
Interestingly, the confirmation of his real name means that none of the Cigarette-Smoking Man’s kids have his real last name, which is just as well.
Neither Fox Mulder nor Jeffrey Spender are exactly thrilled at their connection to him, and plenty of fans are already hoping that William isn’t actually his kid at all despite what he told Skinner in the premiere.
