I'm biased towards Halloween because it was the episode that really got me into the show :D It's funny actually because someone in the comments also mentioned Lie To Me and I was surprised at how I've never seen that episode suggested before. It's actually a really strong episode and an early example of the show willing to go darker with Ford's fate, so yeah I'm surprised that it's not an episode you see recommended much for a first episode
I always feel like Hush might be a bit too out there for a newbie, but maybe that's just me *g* Season 4 is probably the best episode for new viewers otherwise though as it has a ton of fantastic stand-alone episodes that almost seem designed to appeal to someone just dipping into the show for the first time
