In which we have a religious case without much focus on Scully’s faith and casual MOTW Samantha sightings.<\/p>\n

The Case<\/span><\/h2>\n

The case, according to the FBI: \u00a0<\/strong>Local authorities suspect that a religious group is running a scam. \u00a0A boy known for healing the sick\u00a0is now thought to be killing those he’d supposedly healed.<\/p>\n

Mulder’s Theory:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Samuel can repair electromagnetic energy to heal or destroy it to kill.<\/p>\n

Scully’s Theory:<\/strong>\u00a0 Poisoning.<\/p>\n

What’s actually going on:<\/strong>\u00a0 Leonard was poisoning people to frame Samuel as revenge for bringing him back to life to live with his disfiguring scars.<\/p>\n

Did Mulder and Scully solve the case?<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, they caught the killer (Leonard). \u00a0Though Samuel’s body is now missing from the morgue…<\/p>\n

Agents in Peril<\/span><\/h2>\n

None, really. \u00a0Mulder was seeing weird visions of Samantha, but neither agent was ever in any real danger.<\/p>\n

Observations<\/span><\/h2>\n

– Scully mentions that she was raised Catholic and has familiarity with scripture, although aside from being pretty firm in her belief in God, she remains pretty skeptical about the claims of religious healing and whatnot.<\/p>\n

– Sexy roof people.

Recurring Elements<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sunflower Seeds:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Mulder is munching on sunflower seeds as he watches the video of the preacher with Scully in their office at the beginning of the office.<\/p>\n

Hotel Stay:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Mulder and Scully discuss locusts together in a hotel room. \u00a0They’re also seen in their individual rooms toward the end of the episode as we see that Mulder is carrying around a photo of Samantha and Scully is typing up her case report.<\/p>\n

Samantha Mulder:<\/strong>\u00a0 Samuel mentions that he can see Mulder’s\u00a0pain regarding Samantha’s abduction. \u00a0Mulder sees a young girl who we can assume is supposed to be Samantha, though no one else can see her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
