* BatmanGambit: As FBI's resident experts in the supernatural, Reyes and Scully end up hyper-focusing on the Satanic elements in relation to the crime and insist on treating the case as a supernatural one involving demonic possessions. This of course, was exactly what Kobold wanted them to do, so they stare themselves blind at the seemingly demonic stuff and wouldn't notice the much more mundane con he is trying to pull off right under their noses. The skeptical and practical-minded Doggett, meanwhile, doesn't take the bait and turns out to be pretty much right on the money in regards to what Kobold is actually planning.
