Great reaction, thanks. I felt this episode affected me very differently than when I watched it before - because since then I have been diagnosed with PTSD.

P.S. The next two episodes are brilliant! 💜

This episode does a lot of great stuff. It shows in a visual way the difference between seeing people from the outside and seeing/knowing people from the inside. Outside: Carl peeps through at his victims, takes photographs of them and has little conversation with them. The cops and Scully look at the case thought physical evidence and then fit the profiles around that. These two contrast directly with Lucy and Mulder. Lucy's empathetic transference is so profound it manifests physically (physical psychic empath), and Mulder's empathy towards Lucy as a victim allows him to see her connection to Amy. Tracey Ellis who played Lucy here was great. I really felt both her fear, her anger and her desperation at times. Ngl this episode was the most annoyed I got with Scully in any x-files episode so far. Everything she did/said was in character though. I did like what Mulder said to Scully of not reducing his empathy or Lucy's suffering into a statistical (profile). Both Mulder and Lucy are complex people who's experiences are unique and without making some effort to understand them from within, it's very reductive to dismiss their experiences and perspectives. I disagree with reducing Mulder's empathy with Lucy to his sister's abduction as if it explains anything meaningful. Even if that loss was the start of his empathy for victims, the actual empathy and what it allows him to feel and know is what's important. Empathy is a talent and skill with positives and negatives(like most skills) but it can't be dismissed because its origin may lie in childhood trauma imo.
