[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

An ex-student of Scully's asks the agents to help her with her first investigation concerning a number of disappearances with very few clues. Mulder ponders the idea of spontaneous human combustion but rethinks it when they find a man who is afraid of his own shadow.

[edit] Trivia

  • As Scully investigates the air tube in the hotel room in the beginning, the woman that called the two FBI agents for help states that Scully would not possibly consider that to be a way in the room, and asks "Do you seriously think someone can get trough that?" Mulder replies "You never know". That refers to the episode Squeeze, and Tooms from season one, with Eugene Victor Tooms being able to squeeze himself through small pipes and the like.
