A madness shared by two.

Warning: Spoilers
Folie a Deux is about a telemarketer claiming his boss is an insect in disguise, turning employees into zombies.

A terrific and well executed concept, though not fully capitalized on, as it could of been even better. The episode deals more with those knowing about it, than with Mr. Pincus. The insect never really takes corporeal form either and seems to move so quickly that it could of just turned everyone into a zombie, which is a flaw. The fact Scully shot it several times and there's still a scene at the ending showing its continuation, evidence of this.

Look at it! Mulder sees it and doesn't react, then proceeds to ask follow up questions in a calm fashion. He tries to get Skinner to look, but he obviously won't. Both, Apicella and Markinson excel in their roles as Pincus and Lambert.

I especially love the ending. I can vouch that there was an intruder in the room. What did this intruder look like? It was dark. You must have got a glimpse. Cutaway - Folie a Deux. Scully keeps her professional image intact.
