Chinga is about a little girl and a cursed doll, causing people to harm themselves. Scully, while on vacation helps the local police.
The episode has a bit of day time talk show dreariness about it, which is possibly what they were going for, as a sort of hellish experience the mother cannot escape. I can't for the life of me see why though. The entertainment comes from Scully on vacation and the police chief who wants her help. Her knowing nothing will be solved and that he will keep bugging her if she doesn't and Mulder's constant calls with nothing to do. Much like the episode "War of the Coprophages" in season three, with the roles of Scully and Mulder reversed. That episode's plot was much better though. The little girl and the doll itself offer little in terms of exposition, though I think Susannah Hoffmann captured the essence perfectly.
