Chester's fries have vanished but that's not the only magic we get this episode.
Apology: Late in the episode Kristen says "regular religion" which she 100% apologizes for and acknowledges as an ignorant thing to say. She won't make this a non-apology by explaining it away and is sorry to have said it and failed to catch it in the moment.

After several murders occur within a Haitian refugee camp, Mulder and Scully are caught in the middle of a secret battle involving a Voodoo priest and the camp commander.
TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDE
In Folkstone, North Carolina, we open on the happiest of homes. Jack is vomiting in the bathroom, his wife is scared of him, and the baby is crying. He just wants to eat his breakfast in peace! But the mealworms didn’t get the message.
Jack McAlpin, an agitated Marine Corps private, drives his car into a tree after several hallucinatory episodes and is apparently killed. On the tree is a veve, a drawn voodoo religious symbol.
Wikipedia: A veve is a religious symbol commonly used in different branches of Vodun throughout the African diaspora, such as Haitian Vodou. Veves should not be confused with the patipembas used in Palo, nor the pontos riscados used in Umbanda and Quimbanda since these are separate African religions.
McAlpin is the second purported suicide among troops stationed at an INS compound processing refugees from Haiti. Fox Mulder and Dana Scully visit the compound to investigate McAlpin's death.
