"Terms of Endearment" is the seventh episode of the sixth season of the American science fiction television series The X-Files, originally airing in January 1999. The show centers on FBI special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) who work on cases linked to the paranormal called X-Files. In this episode, an unborn child is apparently abducted from its mother's womb by a demon after the prospective parents discover that their child has birth defects, leading Mulder and Scully to investigate. They discover that Wayne Weinsider (played by Bruce Campbell, pictured in 2011) is a child-abducting demon. The plot was criticized but Campbell, already well known as a cult film actor in several Sam Raimi horror movies, received positive comments for his performance. Critics have complimented the episode's unique representation of its antagonist, who has been classified as a sympathetic villain. Many of the episode's special effects were created without elaborate computer-generated effects. It earned a Nielsen rating of 10.5 and was watched by 18.7 million people on its initial broadcast.
