Kinda a scary episode. Very cool.
B.J. Morrow tells her boss, whom she was having an
affair with, that she is
pregant with his kid. Later, she finds herself in a dark, deserted field, digging up the body of an
FBI agent who had ben missing since 1942.
The
FBI agent, before his dissaperance in 1942, had been involved in investigating a serial killer who carved 'sister' in the
chests of
female victims. The killer was never caught.
Scully talks to B.J, who tells Scully that she is pregnant and she doesn't know how she found the body. Scully examines the body and finds
scars on the ribs. The markings turn out to be the word 'brother' carved in the ribs. Tillman, B.J.'s boss, tells
Scully and Mulder that there was a recent homicide with similar markings.
B.J. finds Harry Cokely in old
mug shots. Cokely had been convicted of raping a woman and carving 'sister' on her, in 1945.
Mulder and Scully visit Cokely (now 77 years old), he is feeble and on an
oxygen machine. They ask him about the
murders but he sneers at them and tell them he can hardly leave the house anymore.
That night, B.J., wakes suddenly. She is soaked in blood and finds 'sister' carved on her chest. She sees Cokely in a
vision and finds herself in a private house ripping up the
floor boards in the basement, reveling the bones of the FBI agent's
missing partner. It turns out to be a house that Cokely had rented 50 years ago.
Mulder and Scully visit the woman who was raped by Cokely about 50 years ago. She admits to having a baby but putting it up for
adoption. Mulder feels that Cokely's relative is responsible for the killings, that Cokely's killer
genetic memory was passed on. However, it turns out that B.J. is Cokely's
granddaughter.
Mulder realizes that B.J. will try to finnish what Cokely didn't. B.J. goes after her
grandmother but stops from killing her when she sees 'sister' carved on her chest. So B.J. goes after Cokely. Mulder finds him slashed up but is attacked by B.J. who holds a
razor to his
throat before Scully comes. B.J. drops the
weapon as Cokely dies.
Scully says B.J.'s pregnancy may have been the trigger for her
transformation. B.J. is now being held on
suicide watch after trying to abort her unborn child.

Mulder -- "Well, on a
basic cellular level, we're the sum total of all our
ancestors'
biological matter. But what if more than
biological traits get passed down from
generation to generation? What if I like
sunflower seeds because I'm genetically
predisposed to liking them?"
