Despite the total absence of clues, Mulder suspects that Phillip Padgett (John Hawkes) is responsible for a series of murders in which the victim's hearts were neatly and bloodlessly removed from their bodies. It so happens that Padgett is also Mulder's new next-door neighbor, and he soon becomes with Mulder's partner, Scully. Despite all of Mulder's warnings -- and her own inner "early warning signal" -- Scully cannot help but be attracted to the reclusive but fascinating Padgett. First broadcast April 18, 1999, "Milagro" was written by Chris Carter, John Shiban, and Frank Spotnitz.
