* {{Deconstruction}}: The episode deconstructs how a normal X-files case goes. Mulder pushes his way into a mundane investigation because it reminds him of his lost sister and argues it's an X-file based on a flimsy piece of suppose supernatural evidence. Normally Mulder would be proven right, but this time he's wasting everyone's time and hurting the investigation. Even worse, in his zealous pursuit of someone who reminds him of his sister Mulder misses out on the opportunity to talk to his actual living family, his mother, one last time. The most damning part is when Mulder's trying to come up with a conspiratorial reason his mother committed suicide and it's obviously a last desperate defense mechanism to deal with the grief of losing a loved one, which summarizes Mulder's character in general. In the end, despite actually running into something supernatural, the case is solved by Scully using regular detective work and solution is a regular serial killer.
