They apprehend a man who seems obsessed with gargoyles, and while the proof is overwhelming against him, he claims that he was not himself at the time of the crimes. Meanwhile, while he is in custody, the murders continue. As he was taught, Mulder tries to get inside the head of the new killer, only it may not be a place that he wants to go.

This episode is centered around Haitian voodoo, with some truly chilling twists. Marines stationed at a Haitian refugee camp are dying. The likely suspect would be a Haitian voodoo priest, except that he was incarcerated at the time of each of the killings. The commanding officer is certain that he is involved somehow. Through it all, a young boy named Chester Bonaparte helps Mulder and Scully find clues to the murders, then disappears. If I ever get a cat, I'm naming it Chester Bonaparte. If you watch the episode, you'll understand why.
