• Spooky Photographs: A digitally enhanced photograph shows a blur leading the balloon that lures Teddy towards the train tracks.
• Creepy Child: Charlie has his moments, but Michael is so much worse. That little actor was damn good.
• Evil Twin: Kind of. Charlie's twin Michael died at birth, and is essentially haunting the living brother, killing people around them.
• Hollywood Exorcism
• Infant Immortality: Horribly, horribly subverted.
• Munchausen Syndrome: Scully initially suspects this is the case, with the grandmother being the perpetrator.
• Social Services Does Not Exist: Averted. Scully thinks they need to get Charlie away from his family (specifically his grandmother).
• There Are No Therapists: Also averted. Karen Kosseff, who appears as an FBI therapist in several episodes, tries talking to Charlie.
• Ultimate Evil/Satan: Charlie is implied to be this.
• Ritual Magic
