| abstract | - Peattie returned to the hospital with Mrs. Wieder was scheduled to have an MRI done. Peattie placed a poppet of her inside a microwave, and she was grilled alive inside the MRI machine. Mulder and Scully learned that Lynette Peattie was a Jane Doe handled by Wieder in late 1999. The agents realized that Peattie was using an Appalachian magic-like power to seek revenge by attacking Wieder's own family. Wieder and his daughter were sequestered with Scully to a cabin far from the city with the hope that Peattie would not be able to use his power against them. The agents had learned that Peattie used a charm as the source of his power. Mulder was able to find the charm - his daughter's corpse - inside Peattie's apartment, but the skull was missing. Peattie had indeed followed Wieder and Scully. Peattie made another poppet, this one of Scully, and used to blind her while he entered the cabin and took her gun. He then used a poppet for Wieder to inflict terrible chest pain while his daughter screamed for mercy for her father. Mulder arrived shortly thereafter and found the skull. Depriving Peattie of his power, Scully regained her eyesight and shot Peattie in the back, saving Wieder's life. Peattie was grievously wounded, but survived. (TXF: "Theef")
