"Syzygy" is the thirteenth episode of the third season of The X-Files. Agents Mulder and Scully visit a small town to investigate a series of bizarre deaths, mainly among high school teenagers. Evidence points to a Satanic cult. Moreover, people in this village, including Mulder and Scully, seem to be changed by the events — the weak and aggressive features of a person's character are turned inside out. Mulder drinks, Scully smokes, a peace-loving school director becomes leader of the mob. Eventually Mulder notices some coincidence with strange astrological phenomena, and two teenaged girls turn out to be main suspects as a consequence. Text taken from the Syzygy summary here.

A Syzygy is a planetary alignment.
