Question: Why are no prostitutes arrested during the course of the investigation? Mulder, Scully, and everyone else investigating the case know what they do. This episode takes place in Minnesota, and prostitution is only legal in Nevada, so how can they talk to one (a friend of a victim, who was also a prostitute) and simply let her go?

Question: At first, Dr. Braun suspected that Michelle was being abused because she kept tearing the toy dolls apart. Can someone explain why this is a sign of possible abuse?

Other mistake: At The Beginning of the episode, a gravestone for Scully is shown. However, it seems as if less than a week passes between Scully's mother and sister deciding to let her go and Scully waking up. It's unlikely that the gravestone business would have the stone ready in such a short time.

Answer: You can't arrest someone simply based on what you may know or suspect they do. There needs to be actual proof. A prostitute would have to be caught in the act of soliciting or actively engaging with a customer. Also, investigating prostitution is not Mulder and Scully's purpose here, and arresting someone they need to give them information regarding another crime would be counterproductive to their investigation and scare off other potential witnesses.
