Fire

 A wealthy British man is leaving his estate.

He says good morning to the help. As he waves to his wife is arm catches fire. A moment later his whole body is up in flames. One of the workers just calmly watches on.

 An old school mate of Mulder (played by Amanda Pays) plays a prank on Mulder and Scully in his car.

She is also an old girlfriend. She gives Mulder a kiss. Her name is Phoebe Greene, she now works for Scotland Yard.

 She is in America because she is trying to protect a Sir Malcom Marsden from a killer. The killer sends a love letter to the victim’s wife. Marsden is staying in Cape Cod to try and avoid the killer.

 The killer has been burning his victims alive.

It is not known how he does it. There is no sign of how the fires are started and no incendiary device. It appears to be spontaneous combustion.

 The FBI arson expert’s best guess is that it is a rocket fuel.

 Marsden and his family arrive. The caretaker has been killed by the arsonist who has taken his place without anyone knowing.

 Our killer starts a fire in a local bar.

Mulder and Scully know he must be in the area but no one knows he is disguised as the caretaker. He does magic tricks with cigarettes with Marsden’s two young boys. He even tries to get them to smoke a cigarette. He is just toying with Mulder and the FBI.

 Scully comes up with a profile of the killer. She also manages to figure out who he is. Can they get a photograph of he killer before he strikes?

 Mulder must face his fear of fire to save the family and get the killer.
