I agree that this episode was very good and had lots of suspense however, nothing materialised at the end of it. There are many things that go unexplained in this episode. For example, as the previous poster noted - why were the boys kidnapped? Also, the fact that the boy hasn't aged at all doesn't even seem to phase the parents, especially the mother. We find out that the little boy is dead as we see his remains later on in the episode. If that is the case then what the hell is he? a spirit? a ghost? I love the X-Files and I liked this episode but I just felt let down how absolutely nothing was explained in it, not even possible reasons. I know that the X-Files deal with the unexplained but this was ridiculous! It became clear to me throughout the duration of this episode, that it was made solely to show how Agent Doggett had lost someone similarly and how he goes about investigating a case i.e. illegally opening files etc.
A good, interesting, well-directed episode but too many questions!!
