About this Episode
Remember a few episodes ago when Nic said, “kids are cancelled”?
After a toddler dies in a mysterious accident, Mulder thinks poltergeists are involved and Scully suspects Munchausen by Proxy. But as they investigate, more tragedy befalls the family and it appears something more sinister is at work.
Oh sure, blame the left-handed people!
