Choose three "typical" XF eps

Suppose you had a friend who'd never seen an episode of XF and who had only a vague idea of what the show is about. . .but they know you love it and are willing to spend an evening watching a couple of hours of XF to find out what all the hoopla is about. What three episodes from seasons 1-7 would you choose to have them watch to give them a basic overview of what the show is all about??
It's a tough choice but I think I'd go with "Conduit", "Pusher" and "The Rain King". These aren't necessarily my three favorite episodes just three that I think exemplify different types of cases Mulder and Scully dealt with over the years. . ."Conduit" gets into the whole extra-terrestrial aspect, "Pusher" deals with the criminal- with-unusual-abilities stuff and "Rain King" is more lighthearted/shippy.
I wouldn't start them on a mytharc ep because many of those are too involved and confusing and some of my own favorite eps - like "Triangle" and "The Unnatural" - are among the very shippiest eps ever, and would give them a false picture of the MSR as it existed from the pilot ep until at least midway through season six.
