Series creator Chris Carter recalls being asked to collaborate on the episode, saying, "Howard came to my house, and said, 'Help me out,' so we went to my living room and put up this bulletin board and in a matter of hours we came up with this story". The pair had worked on several other series before The X-Files, and had also contributed the episodes " Conduit", " Ghost in the Machine", " Fallen Angel" and " Lazarus" to the series so far. "Miracle Man" was the first episode of The X-Files written by Howard Gordon without the aid of his long-term collaborator Alex Gansa. As Mulder and Scully leave Tennessee, Samuel's ministry closes down, and Mulder sees one last vision of his missing sister before he gets into his car.

Mulder and Scully, who have been able to trace a large purchase of grasshoppers to Vance, arrive to find the man dying of cyanide poisoning from his own glass of water. Vance confesses and blames his bitterness at having been resurrected with such a scarred and deformed visage. However, the local sheriff, Maurice Daniels, allows two of his men to beat Samuel to death in his cell.Īt his home, Vance is confronted by a ghostly vision of Samuel, who accuses him of betraying the church and perpetrating the murders. An autopsy reveals the woman died of cyanide poisoning, while Mulder and Scully find evidence that the swarm of locusts, which were actually common grasshoppers, was guided by someone to the courtroom through the building's ventilation system. However, she suffers a seizure and dies, which leads to Samuel's second arrest. Once he is released, Samuel returns to his ministry and attempts to heal a woman in a wheelchair. At Samuel's bail hearing, the courtroom fills with a swarm of locusts, which Samuel claims is a sign of God's wrath against him. Mulder has been seeing visions of Samantha, and continues to see them.
The agents doubt his ability, but he is able to convince Mulder that he knows the latter has lost a sister- Samantha-at a young age.
Samuel eventually turns up drunk at a local bar, his faith shaken by the death. The agents learn from Calvin that Samuel has gone missing. The agents travel to Clarksville, Tennessee, where they attend a service featuring an enthusiastic sermon by Leonard Vance, the man whom Samuel raised from the dead a decade earlier. The video shows a supposed healing which later left the follower dead. Ten years later, Dana Scully shows Fox Mulder a videotape of a religious service led by the now-grown Samuel ( Scott Bairstow), who has become an evangelical faith healer for a ministry run by Calvin. The body inside the bag comes alive, grabbing Samuel's hand. He opens a body bag and commands the severely burnt cadaver inside to "rise up and heal." Samuel's father, Calvin, convinces a fireman to let him continue. In 1983, a young boy, Samuel Hartley, appears at the scene of a car accident and pushes his way past an emergency crew. Exterior shots for the episode were filmed on location in Steveson, British Columbia, Canada-a location which had previously been used in the earlier first season episode " Gender Bender". Carter helped Gordon flesh out the details of the episode. "Miracle Man" was the first episode of The X-Files written by Gordon without the aid of his long-term collaborator Alex Gansa.
