Summary
Keeping in mind that this is season one and prime time for established background facts to roll out on a regular basis, we get another "reminder" of the fact that Mulder had a sister who disappeared when he was young... and that alien abduction may have been involved. So when something similar happens at a UFO "hotspot", Mulder is instantly on the case. Despite the premise, the events that follow are not entirely convincing or intriguing. Maybe little Kevin is a conduit for some form of alien communications, and maybe Ruby "showed signs" of having been kept in a prolonged state of weightlessness, but I think I need something more than that to believe that she wasn't just out sowing some teenage oats.
Best or Worst Moment
Since this one was really about Mulder and his sister's disappearance, my pick for best moment was that bit of dialogue near the end where Scully is listening to his regression tapes and we see Mulder in a church. "I want to believe," Mulder says, when his therapist asks if he believes the voice that tells him that his sister is going to be okay.
