Great witty episode. Exploring the world of psychics exposing the fake ones and the pain the real ones deal with. Love the idea of using psychics in murder scene.

The supporting character seems to be quite aloof and distant from reality. Which is often to the frustration of mulder and scully. He did mention that scully will never die, which may foreshadow future episodes.

There was many hidden predictions about death this episode. The psychic identified the smoking fbi agent wouldn't die of lung cancer, and mentioned randomly auto erotic asphyxiation perhaps coming up with the idea or seeing his own death.

I can't be certain of it, but it seems scully has activated her own pyshic powers, she was able to identify the killer from a simple thread. Perhaps she noticed it from the awkward walking direction dance then managed to stop the killer by chance just before he executed mulder.

Nevertheless, this was a entertaining episode with many layers that may have gone over my head.
