They happen to find a random killer unrelated to Amber Lynn (with Scully find a location on the map with santa on it?) and the killer turns out to have killed many people but he wasn't the person who took Amber Lynn, even though the note had the santa note on it.
Psychic private detective/guy who helps Mulder... When did the x files become so divorced from it's core values of paranormal abilities with a scientific basis? Not supernatural abilities and religious mythology.
I guess we are led to believe this is actually what happened to Mulder's sister. So cancer man still took her but then she disappeared from a locked room. Maybe the aliens took her? But the woman said she had a vision she was dead. Then it's supposedly confirmed by Mulder that he saw visions of his sister and the other kids dead.
Ugh.
So how did Amber Lynn and Samantha actually get taken then? That killer they caught even had footage of Amber right? But her body wasn't with the others. Why have mothers been mind controlled to write a kidnapper note when their kid is then taken with no evidence they were taken?
It's all visions, apparently. Psychic/religious visions. That's the explanation for everything.
It's a well acted but nonsense melodramatic episode that damages the characters and the mythology. At the very least it gives closure to Mulder's original sister, but in a unsatisfactorily way.
