Summary
Here we have an episode where the premise is not entirely original, but it's carried off in a stylish enough way to keep my interest. We have potential poltergeists and telekinesis going on and hey — Lauren Kyte is just your everyday admin assistant in the secretarial pool. She's not odd or decidedly different. It's always a more pleasant viewing experience when the characters are average people that you can imagine knowing in real life. In this case, Lauren has a protector (her boss) from beyond the grave who seeks to make her aware of his murder. She follows through and subsequently exposes his partner's illegal business dealings through a series of wild scenes that involve close calls for Mulder and Scully and worse fates for several other people. Oh, and who can forget Scully's answer to Mulder's question about believing in the afterlife? (She'd settle for a life in this one.) All in all, this was an interesting hour of paranormal TV.
Best or Worst Moment
Gotta go with a worst moment in this one, because it's used as a device/plot point that moves the story forward early in the hour. How in the world did they make that initial connection between Lauren and her boss from that photograph?? Enhancement, you say? Yeah, that's some enhancement...
