This is probably the first of many episodes where X Files starts getting to the weirder weird. Stuff that's weirder than Season 1's monster of the weeks. May not be Tooms or light-eating flies, but the next time you decide to flush your toilet, please keep alligators out of it. Also keep your worms out of it too. Yeah, I'm talking to you Miss Molly Ringworm.

I'm rarely creeped by X Files, but I think this is probably the first of Season 2 that got me goin. I was thinking of a plant demon though besides a worm-man.

We also get a look into some of the Big Bads for this season.

Looking at the beginning episodes of Season 1 and Season 2 respectively, they're like different versions of the same show. I'm guessing this is where the show starts getting into the weirder cryptids and almost SCP territory whereas Season 1 was more "maybe it is, maybe it is not" scepticism, and still grounded and trying to find its mythos. Season 2 is more like a story of pathos, I'm getting.
