Let me preface this by saying that I have, to this point, been remiss in omitting this episode from my mytharc menu. The reason is as simple as it is lame. I don't have this episode on tape so couldn't go back to view it for a synopsis. Not having the FX channel, I am still waiting to see this episode again in syndication but in the meantime I have cobbled together the summary from the official site and guide and from memory. This one is important not just for the re-appearance of Crew Cut Man but for the mention of Purity Control, a term encountered by Scully in the season one finale. So, on with the show.

This episode takes place in Wisconsin and involves the abduction of local teens that is thought to be related to a religious cult, the Church of the Red Museum. The teens go missing and, when returned in a drugged stupor, have the words "He is One" or "She is One" written on their backs. When blood tests are run on one of the returned victims, a hallucinogenic drug is found in her system and blame falls at the cult leader's door since he is a doctor. Of course, the haste to blame the cult is a mistake and upon further investigation Mulder and Scully are lead by a local farmer to evidence of strange, genetically engineered hormonal experimentation taking place on cattle. The excuse offered by Scully, that the experiments might be government sanctioned and considered safe, is not enough for the local farmer.

Later that night, a plane carrying the local doctor whose patients included the abducted teens, crashes killing the doctor and the pilot. At the scene, the agents find the doctor's briefcase stuffed with money, a vial containing an unknown liquid, and a printout listing the names of the victims and their families. The doctor who had treated the teens since they were born and given them "vitamin shots" seems to have been involved in a slightly more sinister and financially lucrative form of family practice.

As the crimes escalate, the sheriff's son is abducted but instead of being found in the forest in a daze, he turns up dead. When the man behind the abductions is discovered, he admits to his illness and the abductions but not the killing. He tells them that the local doctor had been paying him to inject the cattle with the unknown liquid in the vial. This same mysterious liquid had also been injected into the teens for years under the guise of vitamin shots. The abductor says that his victims had become monsters due to the injections and tests on the substance reveals alien DNA. Scully recognizes this as the Purity Control substance found in the flask in the episode "The Erlenmeyer Flask".

When Crew Cut Man, Deep Throat's executioner, is spotted driving through the town, the pieces begin to fall into place. This is most likely a rogue government experiment such as the one referred to by Deep Throat in "E.Flask". The agents believe that Crew Cut Man is in town to do a clean-up job and one of his targets was the sheriff's son whose body contained evidence in the form of the Purity Control substance. Heading to the meat packing plant with the sheriff, they find evidence of Crew Cut Man in the gasoline spilled throughout the plant. In the ensuing chase, the sheriff shoots the Crew Cut Man as revenge for the death of his son. When the body is examined later, they find that the Crew Cut Man has no identity. In addition, there is no further evidence as to the chemical makeup of the fluid injected into the townsfolk. The case is left unsolved.
