Not a terrible episode from a purely experiential view, but ultimately we discover this two part episode was all about a plot within a plot within a plot to accomplish something that would have been more easily accomplished by not using any plots. And of course, Heaven forbid you actually sat down and started writing out evidence to connect the dots here, because I'm quite certain none of the plots actually make sense.
Overall these two episodes are meant to introduce the idea that shadowy world powers are actually trying to play both sides, developing a vaccine against the black oil so that when it later tries to conquer the planet it hits a snag. But of course they're too stupid to realize the only reason the black oil aliens can invade is through the collaboration of evil humans and that they would never have involved them if they didn't have to.
Anyways, it's like they say, in Soviet Russia black oil alien reject YOU!
