Mulder shows two amazing leaps of intuition in this ep. (not his usual over-the-top theories, but intuition):

- when the artist paints on the wall, Mulder somehow makes the connection from the tortured faces in the painting, to ask for the "Asian orderly", and knows there will be sth. in the cellar.

- When Mulder digs up the body in the mushroom cellar, he immediately knows this is the missing orderly. How come? (Did I miss a scene when Mulder was shown a photograph of him?)

Funny line: When the Asian says "In my country, the old people are treated with respect." and the director of the home answers "well, you are in America now and have to it our way", she obviously doesn't realize the sarcasm/irony inherent in her answer.

I find it very strange that neither the government nor any private organization is interested in researching these mushrooms. They have activated all the patients who took them; the "spirits" who were called up no scientist will believe in; and the two guys that died did overdose. But any drug is harmful in too high dosage; you can kill someone with cooking salt if taken in excess!
