In which season and episode number does the infamous episode 'Home' appear?

"Home" appears in season 4, episode 2 of The X-Files. It originally aired on Fox on October 11, 1996, and was written by Glen Morgan and James Wong and directed by Kim Manners.

The episode follows Fox Mulder and Dana Scully as they investigate the death of a deformed infant in Home, Pennsylvania. Their investigation leads to the Peacock family, three isolated brothers living in a dilapidated farmhouse. The story is a stand-alone "monster-of-the-week" case rather than part of the show's continuing alien-conspiracy mythology.

"Home" became famous for its unusually graphic subject matter and disturbing atmosphere. It was the first X-Files episode to carry a viewer-discretion warning and was not routinely repeated by Fox. Despite the controversy, critics often praised its writing, direction, bleak humor, and horror-film influences.

A production detail can cause confusion: the episode's production code was 4X03, even though it aired as the second episode of season 4. The previous episode, "Herrenvolk," was the season premiere, while "Teliko" followed "Home."
