About this Episode
NOTE: This episode of The X-Files (and so also this episode of I Want To Rewatch) includes discussion of suicide.
After a young woman’s boss dies by suicide, other deaths and strange phenomena seem to follow her. Mulder and Scully are brought in by another agency to look at corpses exhibiting strange behavior. They appear to have been strangled without anyone touching their necks. Mulder posits it's the work of telekinesis. Scully is not convinced.
Because she thinks it’s aliens!
(Not really.)
