Description

Other lighting options are available...  

  

One of Scully’s former students has just made detective and calls her and Mulder in to unofficially consult on a strange series of missing persons cases where all that’s left behind at the scenes is a black scorch mark. Mulder suspects spontaneous combustion, but it might be something even stranger...  

Like an obsession with Tony Shaloub?
