Synopsis:
A murderer comes back from the dead in the form of his granddaughter
Ugh:
B.J's victims (including herself) having either "sister" or "brother" carved into them
Review:
One of the more slasher-like X-Files, coming before Irresistible; it definitely has competition, but it is somewhat equal to Irresistible.
Featuring a serial killer from the 1940s comes back as his grand-daughter (even though he is still alive), his granddaughter, Detective B.J. Morrow, seeks out to finish his crimes, starting with a victim he only raped and ending with him.
The episode starts with B.J. unearthing the bones of the FBI Agents killed by Harry Cokely, with Mulder and Scully trying to figure out what happened to them, with B.J. having visions/nightmares of the original 1942 murders (including of the Special FBI Agents assigned to his murders, Sam Chaney and Tim Ledbetter), and then waking up to find the word sister carved into her chest, Harry's calling card
The action builds up to the climax, where B.J. breaks into each of their houses, failing with Linda Thibedeaux; with Mulder and Scully finding out that B.J.'s grandfather was Harry, and that her grandmother was Linda, with B.J. breaking into Harry's house, killing him, and then trying to kill Mulder, thinking that he is one of the agents, with Scully and Lieutenant Tillman, her father, stopping her.
Definitely recommended to introduce people to the X-Files, and one of the best episodes of Season 2
9/10
