He just got excited at the thought of looking for a beast woman! Or please go back to your porn, Mister.

Back at the Atlantic City morgue, PR and the anthropologist are there, too.

Scully is wearing read again. And the body is missing. Which prompts some of Mulder’s paranoid conspiracy ramblings.

We cut to them in front of a fence and Professor anthropologist telling us that if it is a primate it would have a natural fear of heights.

The hell? My admiration of chimpanzees just got bigger if they have to overcome their “natural” fear of heights every damn day. Wow.

Mulder points out that this thing has no fear of heights.

Ok, then, it’s not a primate? Sometimes TV dialogue makes me very, very tired.

They enter an abandoned factory? Then they wander around philosophizing about the bestiality of the human species and the emotions of the wildebeest.

Mulder: “8 million years out of Africa. Maybe we’re not that different.”

Scully argues with technological progress. Mulder argues against it with the destruction of our environment. I argue that this counter argument makes no damn sense.

I thought Mulder assumes this devil is a higher evolutionary step from humanity. Or not? Just some sort of animal? But then why would he acre so much?

The police notice the PR’s car outside and get suspicious because? Oh well.

Professor Anthrpologist finds bloody rags and there is no point to this scene.

Guys in uniform and with guns are surrounding the building.

And Mulder and Scully keep on walking. Scully is hitting us over the head with the parallel anvil pointing out the wild children at the party.

That’s when they hear the police.

And we keep on walking. Until Mulder finally sees someone running outside. Scully has lost him already. We see Mulder jumping out the window and running on all fours which gives us a nice special agent ass shot. And a visual anvil on the human beast parallel.

Scully sees him running outside and does the jump-roll, too, staying on her legs, though.

Mulder runs after the beast woman into a basement with a fan which gives a nice flickering lighting. Beast woman jumps Mulder, and he seems a little dazed, either from the fall or the beauty of the beast woman. He’s obviously not even trying to get up. Oh Mulder. One shudders to think what he would do if the aliens look like naked women.

Beast woman hits him when Scully comes to the rescue and the following exchange is why I still watch this episode once in a while.

Scully in full-on doctor mode: “Mulder you’re hurt.”

Mulder gushingly: “You should’ve seen her. She was beautiful!”

Scully (dryly): “Well, she just about ripped your lungs out.”

Heh.

Cut to Mulder sitting in the back of an ambulance still trying to convince Scully that the beast woman is oh so wonderful! “She could have torn my head off but she sensed that I wasn’t a threat.” That’s when the paramedic definitely hurts him.

Mulder, she ripped a hole in your chest. I’m thinking, she may not have thought you’re a threat but she definitely thought you would make a nice breakfast. Scully isn’t listening because she is on the phone trying to get jurisdiction. Unsuccessfully, although she and we get a nice long shot of the Mulder abs. Strangely enough, Scully doesn’t seem to pay attention.

PR shows up to tell them that the beast woman is cornered in a building. We also see detective Thompson again on a radio with the SWAT team, keeping Mulder and his gang away. The beast woman apparently gets away and runs into the woods.

Aand we’re back in the foggy woods with the uniformed men while gang Mulder is in the PR’s van. PR apparently knows where the beast woman would be going, although I have no idea. Locations in this episode make not a lot of sense, I never get how far these woods are away from Atlantic City.

PR shoots the beast woman who just plucks the tranquilizer dart out of her shoulder and keeps going. Good for you, beast woman! Run, beast woman! Run like the wind!

Gang Mulder ends up on a bridge where they hear a shot fired. More running, and we meet the uniforms standing around the body of the beast woman. Leaves are strategically placed to hide her naughty bits although she lying on her stomach. Mulder yells accusingly at detective Thompson who cements his characterization as antagonist.

Scully graps Mulder’s arm to stop him from hitting the detective. And without her having to pull him, he follows her. Aw. PR is sad too. And my mind just went to a gutter place it’s never been before I recapped this episode. Is that what recapping does to you? It doesn’t help that in his office, Mulder keeps looking longingly at the pictures of the dead naked beast woman. Stop it!

Scully enters with the autopsy report. Human bones in the digestive tract. That woman must also have had bad digestion.

Mulder notes that there must be offspring which finally gets Scully to implore Mulder to just get out, have a beer, she’d cover for him. I think this is the first and last time she suggests that he should go out without her. I might be wrong but I don’t think I am.

The phone rings and it’s not-realtor guy who has tickets and his son that night. He thinks she could ask supermom for her son to take out with them. Seriously, what is wrong with this guy? You bring your son to a date and suggest your date bring a borrowed kid?

We don’t hear Scully’s answer but we see her following Mulder to the car requisition desk. And the next exchange seals Scully’s dateless fate for the next three years.
