this episode is without any doubt my favourite.Sure the entire x-files were great but this fantastic piece of work stands out.With scully still missing mulder sets off to investigate murders carried out by modern day vampires and subsequently ends up falling for the female vampire! Whilst appearing on the outside to be happy with this predicament,underneath it all his feelings to do his job and his concern for scully shine through.Personally i feel David duchovny's acting in this episode rank high in anything he's ever done.The script is perfect,the directing flawless and Duchovny's performance alone carries it though the supporting cast don't put a foot wrong.
The final scene at the end where mulder is sitting at the foot of the hill and is approached by the fireman who informs him there was no survivors in the fire(The blaze can be seen in the background)is hugely gripping.the expression of sorrow is etched firmly on mulders face.
