* AffablyEvil: As before. For a sociopathic murderer, Modell is a pretty personable guy. His prison therapist tells Mulder that while she agrees he should never be let out again, he's been nothing but good to her. Notably, he uses his powers non-lethally throughout the episode, and spends his time trying to ''help'' Mulder. Since his defeat in ''Pusher'', he seems to have more or less accepted that he's been "conquered" by Mulder, and tells his eviler sister to give up her revenge.
