Summary of this episode: "Frank travels to Bucksnort, a backwater town where residents fear for their lives outdoors after the sun goes down, when packs of blood-thirsty dogs roam the streets. Here he discovers that the Millennium Group and its members may be stranger than is commonly thought and he experiences firsthand the balance the universe maintains between good and evil."

This was one of the most random episodes ever. I completely did not get it. Not because they were trying to use symbolism and stuff that went over my head. This episode was just...kinda lame. The beginning was kinda cool, because it seemed EXACTLY like something "The X-Files" would do, but after a while it got weird. Evil dogs killing people to maintain the balance between good and evil? OOOOOkay, if you say so.

However, this episode had some nice scenes with Frank and Catherine discussing any possible future they might have, which was nice.

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- If you look in the upper right hand corner of the screen when Frank has fled inside the barn to escape from the dogs, you'll see a blonde female crewmember on the phone. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- Bobby Darin is Frank Black's favorite singer. This is his music's first appearance in the show's soundtrack. Edit
- The stones. It was a very subtle plot point mentioned during the dialogue, and should have been talked about more, but was quickly walked over to have a vague discussion of equilibrium with good and evil. Frank was questioning the rough stone obelisks around the cabin with the Millennium symbol beneath them, and it is briefly suggested that they are gravestone markers for the dead of the Millennium group. And all vague discussion aside, Michael Beebe says when he moved to the town, there was a shack on his 10 acres (the shack being the one surrounded by the stones). The truth was that he had built his house on a Millennium member burial ground, which was apparently disgraceful enough for a pack of dogs to show up and start attacking people (by supernatural means or other). Some of this information was a little shady, however, and scarcely discussed, a weak point of the episode. (for that reason this information is debatable) Edit
- This episode is set in Seattle, Washington and Bucksnort, Montana. Edit

- Catherine: Frank, what are you doing? Frank: Its not for sale. Catherine: The house is already on the market. Frank: I can't. We can't run away after all that's happened. Catherine: Are you moving back? Frank: Yup. When its home again. Edit
- Old Man: You've learned it yet? Frank: Get what you need. Beebe: Get what I need? Frank: Your leaving. Beebe: Oh. For how long? When do I come back? Old Man: You don't. Beebe: What the hell are you doing? Frank: Is that necessary? Old Man: If I don't, we'll never get out of here alive. Him, you, or me. Edit
- Frank: Michael I don't know how to explain what I am about to say, but it would be my advice to you that you might consider moving. Beebe: What! Frank: Your in trouble Michael. Beebe: What is this? Sheriff running me out of town? I was run out of my last home. I'm not gonna run anymore. Frank: Michael, listen to me. Your standing on the deck of a sinking ship. You don't try to figure out why. You get off. You saw what I saw. You heard the noises. Beebe: Yeah. I heard them earlier tonight. Frank: What? Edit

- Old Man: Did you happen to catch the May 1997 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report? The Old Man refers to a May 30, 1997 article in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) 46(21) pgs. 463-466. It is entitled "Dog-Bite-Related Fatalities -- United States, 1995-1996." Edit
- Beebe: I don't want to come off as a new age fruitcake if I wanted that I would have moved to Sidona. Beebe is referring to the city of Sidona, Arizona. A city which has become a travel destination for millions of followers of New Age "spirituality". Edit
