Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAn oubliette is a secret dungeon with access only through a trapdoor in its ceiling. The word is derived from the French word for forgetting.
- GoofsWhen the tow truck driver gives the location where he tried to help Carl Wade on the side of the road, Mulder identifies the position using Interstate 12 and Highway 903 on the map. However, Interstate 12 is not near the setting of the Seattle, Washington region. It is located entirely in South Louisiana.
- Quotes
Fox Mulder: [referring to Lucy's seizure and incoherent speech] Whether she knew it or not, she's was repeating the exact words spoken by Amy's abductor at the exact same time, twenty miles across town.
Dana Scully: That's spooky.
Fox Mulder: [with a wry smile] That's my name, isn't it?

Featured review
Impactful, Deep, Heavy Topic
A concept is only one part of the story. In addition to the premise, there is the well-known tense action, but most powerful piece to me was the crucially important topic. We see on the news about kidnappings, rape, and murder, but this episode brings all three right in front of our faces in a very real way.
The supernatural element is weaved throughout to fit right into the X-Files, but even without the ethereal fiction, the tale stands strong on its own. A lot to consider, contemplate, and absorb about the evil nature present in predators. At the end, a plot twist tells us a lot about self-sacrifice and finding peace.
