Arthur Dales, star of the season 5 episode "Travelers," calls Mulder and Scully to investigate the mysterious disappearance of two marine biologists and their young son. With a hurricane well under way the agents find themselves trapped in swamped apartment building - where something else is trapped as well...
This is a pretty fair "monster of the week" episode, but the ending IS rushed - in fact one moment all seems lost and the next all's well and we're wrapping it up! How Mulder figured it out is pretty clear, but just how Scully reached HER conclusion... Oh well. The humor isn't overwhelming here, and the monster, while not exactly original, is fine. Personally I find the disposability of sheriff's deputies increasingly annoying - but maybe it's a Star Trek reference!
