* MadnessMantra: The infected began rambling [[LossOfIdentity "we're not who we are"]], with Mulder finding a notebook full of repetitions of the phase.
* MagicAntidote: On being cured, the infected go from near-rabid hostility to completely calm in under a minute, with no apparent side-effects from having an alien worm dug into their brain.
* MagicAntidote: On being cured, the infected go from near-rabid hostility to completely calm in under a minute, with no apparent side-effects from having an alien worm dug into their brain.
Added DiffLines:
* JustThinkOfThePotential: Subverted. Scully assumes that Mulder wants to preserve the alien worm because it might be proof of extraterrestrial life, risking the base and possibly humanity to prove his pet cause. He ''actually'' wants to preserve it so we can study it in case someone digs up another sample later.
Added DiffLines:
* RedHerring: Mulder becomes extremely paranoid, intensely angry and refuses to be tested, leading everyone to assume he's infected by the worm. He isn't -- he was just over-reacting because he was stressed and people were pointing a gun at him. The ''actual'' infected, Dr Da Silva, is ironically one of the calmest and most reasonable members of the party.
Added DiffLines:
* SetAMookToKillAMook: The worms are violently territorial, and the only way to cure an infected person is to get them infected again so the worms kill each other.

* RiddleForTheAges: The true nature of the parasite is left hanging as Mulder believes it could be extraterrestrial in origin and should be researched.
