* RealityIsUnrealistic: People took objection to Mulder and Scully's dialogue in the episode being cruel and detached, but such flippancy is pretty common among professions that deal with a lot of death and destruction, such as firemen, policemen, soldiers, and the like, both as a coping mechanism and by being desensitized after being exposed to so much misery in the first place.

* FridgeLogic: The ending treats the surviving Peacocks as {{Karma Houdini}}s who escape by vehicle to continue their horrid lifestyle unfettered, even though they're now homeless, broke, and after murdering three people --two of them police officers-- ''definitely'' being actively hunted down by law enforcement.

Added DiffLines:

* AngstWhatAngst: Mulder and Scully are remarkably dismissive of Deputy Pastor's death, considering they were more or less responsible for it in the first place. They almost casually observe the animalistic nature of the Peacocks as they tear the deputy apart, and two minutes later they're making ''Babe'' jokes.
