Warning: Spoilers
After getting reassigned back to the X-files midseason Mulder and Scully have been getting some real freaky cases. This one focuses on a Mississippi prison mate, who at first is thought to have died during a twister, but seems instead to have been affected during the tornado and gifted with the ability to pass thru solid objects. The character is a bit more complex than first thought. His repeated motto of "I want what is mine" isnt really about the bank robbery he went to prison for.

John Diehl plays this part so well; determined, but not too over the top. The other side characters are pretty standard, one dimensional and I think the ending was bit rushed but overall its still a pretty good episode.. Bonus points... If you are a true x-file fan and fan of its core actors you should catch the injoke relating to the prisoner's name "Pinker" and the name of Mitch Pileggi's character in the movie "Shocker. This alone made me want to add 2 stars to the score.
