"Imagine going through your whole life looking like this"

The episode Portrays the life of outcasts and freaks through brilliant writing highlighting their struggles with day to day life and gives a detailed insight into their mindset and beliefs.

It was ironic that mulder had a hunch with hepcats fiji mermaid. He was so close!. In the end the truth was stranger than fiction. A lonely twin called Leonard that was in search of another brother going from freak to freak inflicting the same wound to find a new home.

This episode had some humor on it with hotel managers great monologues and the incompetent hotel porter that implied bed bugs in the trailers accidentally.

I was great to see mulders poker face come under pressure when he was accused of discrimination by Mr Nutt. And his discomfort when he saw the feral Tattooed man eating the raw fish.

The ending was wrapped up well. I fully enjoyed the episode.
