The best part of it was how they worked as a team and listened to each other because as we see in this episode when they do work as a team they are more efficient and get the job done. Mulder instead of dismissing Scully as he has in the past listens to her when she asks him to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Team work equals a good episode and a solved case.
Also, this highlighted a problem with the episode where Scully and Mulder never seemed to be a part of the story as a whole. Never felt they were in any kind of danger and they seemed to be a step behind Max Harden and his cohort. Of course, if they did that it would have been a repeat of last week's episode where Scully rescued Mulder and Frank Black. The basic story is a familiar one of the new smart kid moving into town whose parents are divorced and who gets mixed up with the wrong crowd. The final kicker was Scully and Mulder weren't affected by the force inside the cave because they were too old.
