After they've walked away, Scully asks Mulder what he thinks happened. He starts running off at the mouth about four women who disappeared in Aberdeen a few months ago and how only one of the bodies was found, but it was too decomposed to perform an autopsy. Scully's all, "But this isn't decomposition!" and Mulder's like, "I know that, bitch! Now go do me an autopsy!" and smacks her ass. Something along those lines, anyhow. He hands Scully the vile of goo and sends her off to the Coroner's office while he goes to find out if Honey was a "Lonely Heart". Apparently all the missing Aberdeen women had answered personal ads online, and Mulder's afraid that if it's the same killer, he'll strike again. See where the internet gets you, guys? Your Arial-font using, Salvador Dali lovin' sweetie from the information superhighway will lead you to meet your maker!

Uh oh, someone hasn't learned her lesson! Someone with the handle "Huggs" is typing "I'm not sure it's such a good idea for us to meet" in some pre-historic text box that's supposed to be an instant message. I guess it actually was what an instant message looked like in 1995, but I wasn't looking for love when I was 11, so I wouldn't know. I'm not looking for love now or anything, but you know what I mean, right? I don't have to clarify this again? Listen, I don't even like Salvador Dali, okay? Anyhow, guess who Huggs is talking to? That's right, it's Seedy! Only Seedy has an awesome online handle, "Timid". Isn't that kinda cool that there was a time you could get a one word screenname like that? If Seedy lived today, he would be "Timid38304", but in 1995, he was a visionary, being the first of many to use a single adjective as an internet chatting handle!

"Timid" asks "Huggs" what she's afraid of and she lists disappointment and rejection, among others. Timid/Seedy's all understanding like "I've been down that road once or twice, but don't hide behind your computer!" We catch a glimpse of Huggs, who is an average looking woman in her late 30's or so with glasses and a mouth frozen in a perpetual worried grimace. She seems to be reading his words aloud to herself and getting her think on.

Before she can answer him, someone knocks at Timid/Seedy's door. He gets up to answer it and finds his Landlady there. She's all desperately flirty and makes the excuse of giving him the keys to his storage closets (uh, what?) and he tries to close the door quickly on her but she intercepts him. She says she knows what he does, and also mentions that his name is "Mr. Encanto". Uh, no. His name is Seedy, lady. LandLady goes on a schpiel about how Seedy must be a writer cos he receives so many packages from publishers in NY and cos he types a lot. Wrong again, muchacha. He's actually a weird, goo-emitting internet killer. However, Seedy goes along with this and when LandLady mentions she's also a writer, he tries to get rid of her by asking, "Shouldn't you be off somewhere, writing?" LandLady isn't a bit put off by this, and instead asks Seedy to read some of her poetry (which is no doubt as pathetic as she is), he agrees and shuts the door.

Down at the Coyahoga County Morgue, Cross is staring at his watch impatiently, seemingly waiting for someone. Scully walks in and he's all, "Oh, it's you". Scully says, "That's not a problem, is it?", which is a lot more graceful than what my response would have been, which is along the lines of "Get stuffed, wanker", but that's why Scully's got a boyfriend and I have to meet them in Surrealist Art chatrooms. I mean, Scully doesn't have a boyfriend. And I don't meet them in chatrooms. Shut up. Anyhow, Cross says he didn't know Scully was observing the autopsy and she kinda smirks as she tells him that she's not observing, she's doing it herself. Cross can't believe that Scully is a medical doctor because he's "old fashioned in certain regards", whatever that means. Scully doesn't seem to know what it means either, and she's only half paying attention to his misogynist explanation of questioning assignment of female officers to certain cases. He tries to act all noble, like he's doing Scully a favour by not wanting her involved. He explains that the killer has an attitude towards women so it must be affecting her judgement, but she just looks at him with her startlingly blue eyes and pretty much tells him to get over it, she just wants to solve the case like he does. Cross feels the need to clarify that he's not being sexist, though clearly he is, and Scully just asks where to send the autopsy report. Cross leaves all disgruntled and Scully gets to work.

From Scully's record, we find out it's August 29th, 4:15pm. That doesn't really matter, but I'm telling you anyway, so deal with it. She states Honey's name and race, and then says that the time and cause of death are uncertain. As she's talking, she walks over to the drawer where the body is being kept and sees a bloody liquid dripping down the steel surface. Clicking off the tape recorder, she opens the door and slides the tray out, splashing something that looks like regurgitated Hamburger Helper off the tray and onto the floor. The camera shoots from above and while Scully stares at the tray with her arms out, we see that all that's left of Honey is a skeleton. And the afore mentioned regurgitated Hamburger Helper. Mm, who's hungry? Pause for dinner break!!
