In $\triangle ABC$, the incircle $\omega$ has center $I$ and is tangent to $\overline{CA}$ and $\overline{AB}$ at $E$ and $F$ respectively. The circumcircle of $\triangle{BIC}$ meets $\omega$ at $P$ and $Q$. Lines $AI$ and $BC$ meet at $D$, and the circumcircle of $\triangle PDQ$ meets $\overline{BC}$ again at $X$.
