The X-Files Season 3 Episode 17

This episode contains a reference to the second season episode, "The Host". In the introduction to this episode, Pusher is seen taking a tabloid titled the Worldwide Enquirer from a rack in a supermarket. Its cover reads, "IT'S BACK! Flukeman found washed up in Martha's Vineyard!", above a sketch of the Flukeman.

When Pusher is first apprehended by Agent Burst, it seems rather odd that the cruiser in which they are traveling is the last vehicle in the convoy? During the transport of a suspected serial killer, you would think that his vehicle would be in the middle of the convoy, with the vehicles in front blocking traffic, and the vehicles following pulling rear escort.

Scully pronounces Ronin as "rōnin" and Mulder corrects her with "rōneen". Actually, Scully's pronunciation is correct.

When Modell gets into the FBI building by convincing the guard that his homemade pass is real, why did no one else question why he was walking around the place with a brown envelope with 'Pass' written in black pen on his jacket? He only spoke to the guard, Holly and Skinner while there so only they could possibly have been under his influence.

When Mulder shows his ID to the hospital receptionist, he clearly holds it upside down with the badge section on top instead of the section with the blue 'FBI' text.

Regarding the issue of a revolver and shell casings:
If you freeze the video when Mulder looks at the casings on the floor, you can clearly see 2 casings and 3 intact cartridges all lying near each other. This is because Modell emptied them out in order to play roulette.

Why didn't Mulder ever use the term "hypnosis"? While less accurate, it would certainly have made his case more strongly to the non-believers.

The electronic map indicated that Fairfax Mercy Hospital was on/near Chain Bridge Road in Fairfax County, Virginia. The hospital is actually on Gallows Road.

When Modell "talks" Burst to death, the cops in the room stop Mulder and Scully from disconnecting the call. You would think that two FBI Agents would hold rank over local PD Officers on any case.

Not necessarily. Actually, in most cases, the state government has much more widespread power than the federal government. It's just that the feds can supersede the state government on very specific issues. Policing is usually up to the state officials, with the federal government very reluctant to take over or interject. And even when their involvement is necessary, they would usually not take charge of the investigation.
