2Shy is one of only two episodes written by Jeff Vlaming. This episode was written back in 1995 when the internet was still in its beginning stages. I like how he attempted to tackle the issue of people meeting romantically online. For its time, this episode was probably quite unique. Virgil Incanto is a nasty bad guy who preys on lonely overweight women to get what he needs. If they were to make an episode like this now , Virgil would probably be a pedophile trying to get an underage girl. As Scully was wearing shades a few episodes earlier in D.P.O., it's Mulder's turn to wear them. For some reason they can't wear them simultaneously. The skeleton in the autopsy room looked like it was in a pan of tomato sauce. That effect left something to be desired. You need your medical dictionary to understand this episode, as lots of "big" words are used. I like the scene where Virgil is in his apartment, he hears a knock, answers the door, and it's Scully. But the scene has actually jumped and Scully is really at a different apartment. Cool transition. During the climax, there's some funky synthesizer music playing. It seems a little out of place and odd. Check out 2Shy, it's a good episode that deals with the current issue of online predators.
