Oh, look, another vengeful spirit episode. Except twist the guy is still alive. So it's sort of like Excelsus Dei meets Shadows.
The scene with Stans jumping in the boiling tub is pretty horrifying, and the amputee effects on Rappo were well done. I also liked just how little shit Scully was willing to put up with; it doesn't come up much, but she was raised a Navy brat, so she knows how these people operate and how to get around or through their blocks.
This feels more or less like a by-the-numbers casefile, but it's nothing all that special IMHO. I found it hard to root for any of the characters involved, and it feels like none of the characters really care that much either. Callahan really takes the deaths of his aid, son, and wife in stride, almost to the point where he seems to forget they actually died. And the climax is... well, anticlimactic. "Mulder and Callahan in danger" felt very forced, and Stans smothering Rappo with the pillow was so quiet and gentle that it just fell flat to me.
