Added DiffLines:
* SplashOfColor: Early on, Tooms briefly picks out a woman as his next potential victim before Mulder intervenes, and we see things from his POV. Everything fades to black and white except his target, illustrating his single-minded focus on her.
Added DiffLines:
* UngratefulBastard: Tooms ultimately kills Dr. Monte, the therapist who helped get him released, and eats his liver.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: While berating Scully for her and Mulder's conduct on cases, Skinner concedes they have a very high rate of success (either convictions or case solutions), which he stresses is the only reason they haven't been fired.

* HungryMenace: A few moments highlight how uncomfortable Tooms gets while waiting for another liver, even contemplating acting in broad daylight. He is most irritated when Mulder foils an attempt to surprise a passerby. By the time he's alone with Monte, he can't wait any longer.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While questioning Scully about conduct on cases, Skinner points out she and Mulder regularly don't follow the kind of procedure every other agent is expected to follow. He also takes issue with how they come back with a lot of inconclusive material (e.g. anonymous witnesses and spotty evidence) to go along with reports that otherwise have to be taken at face value.

* PunkInTheTrunk: Tooms hides in Mulder's trunk in order to follow him home.
Added DiffLines:
* PragmaticVillainy: As dangerous as Tooms is, Mulder knows the people in the halfway house are safe from his hunger, due to who the most obvious suspect would be in the event of trouble. Similarly, Tooms could've very well just killed Mulder while he slept, but that could've risked exposure.

Added DiffLines:
* ShoutOut: Mulder fell asleep watching ''Film/TheFly1958''.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Early on, Mulder likens Tooms to an animal that kills only in self-defense or out of hunger. However, Tooms often displays a sadistic streak that demonstrates he knows full well what he's doing and, most importantly, he was competent to frame Mulder.

Added DiffLines:
* WhatTheHellHero: Scully is most displeased by Mulder's testimony, as she knows full well it will allow Tooms to walk free. It also adds to the pressure she's getting from Skinner over Mulder's conduct, making her even more irritated about all this.

Added DiffLines:
* IdiotBall: Agent Mulder has been shown that he knows when he sounds crazy to other people, so it was rather dumb, if not irresponsible of him to try and convince the courts that Tooms was a 100 year-old mutant who was genetically predisposed to kill and eat human livers. All it does is convince the courts that Mulder might be mentally unbalanced and had fixated himself onto an innocent man for his conspiracy.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Tooms gets sucked into the elevator. Gross.
Added DiffLines:
* DeathByIrony: One of the injuries Tooms fakes in order to frame Mulder is getting kicked in the face. It isn't the killing blow, but during the final chase, he kicks Tooms in the face for real, which allows him to escape and [[CruelAndUnusualDeath turn on the escalator]].

* NoSocialSkills: Emphasised more in this episode: Tooms can barely string a sentence together and is spoken to by his therapist as if he were a special needs child.

Added DiffLines:
*WoundedGazelleGambit: Similar to Scorpio in ''Film/DirtyHarry'', Tooms fakes being beaten up by Mulder to antagonize him. The unique part is that because of Tooms's body manipulation skills, he can injure ''himself'' quite convincingly, without needing to pay anyone else to do it.
