Interestingly this was an episode credited to David Greenwalt, the Angel writers (Tim Minear and Jeffrey Bell also write for The X-Files later on) never really managed to write anything particularly outstanding on The X-Files for some reason, even though Tim Minear especially went on to write some of the very best Ats episodes
From what I remember, the breaking process was different on X-Files than at Mutant Enemy. At ME, people always think the credited writer wrote everything when it reality they mostly just wrote the dialogue. The story and all that was written by the whole crew. At X-Files, there was a lot of X writer pretty much coming up with the whole story then later it's revised. Sometimes they wrote together. There really wasn't much of a set process. That's what I gathered from Gilligan talking on BrBa commentaries and Podcasts.
