I agree with muldernscully, and I think this was X-Files perfection from start to finish. The music was haunting and eerie, probably one of my favorite scores of all of the series. Seeing Mulder have those dreams and being manipulated by the pedophile was extremely spooky, but equally endearing was how Scully had his back and empathized with him throughout the ordeal as he tried to reconcile his sister's abduction with the activities of the pedophile during that same time. On a completely superficial note, I loved when Mulder sank the basketball in the prison gym, further serving to emphasize him as the hero in contrast to the scumbag child killer. This is classic X Files, before the movie and before they moved to L.A.; it is one of the best and one of my favorites from season 5. The ending was definitely suspenseful, and it's one I wouldn't mind seeing again.
