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?

Mid-Tier Filler
The episode starts with a school photographer taking pictures during school class day. As a girl walks away after getting her picture taken, the photographer's assistant leers at her, licking his lips.
"Keep your eyes off the girls, Lenny," says the photographer, the hint of violence in his voice. "Now go get me another bucket of film and keep your mind on your work before I smack you one." As the assistant hobbles away he can't help but look back once more at the girl.
This is an episode about a kidnapping, and then another former kidnapping victim can experience what she's going through, but she refuses to help because she doesn't want to.
Mulder pleads with her, I think I counted 8 or 9 times, but she's like, "No, I hope that girl dies, and I hope you die!"
The episode is hammy, overdone, there's a supernatural plot, but they don't really do anything with it because they don't want to and it probably sounded like hard work at the time. It's just a psychic thing happened and then old fashioned police work and luck actually did all the work. And otherwise it's a bad SVU episode about a fat guy torturing Kaylee from Firefly. I managed to get through it by playing it at 150% speed.
