In New Jersey in 1947, a man is attacked while fixing a flat tire on the road near the woods. His corpse is later found with his leg chewed off, and a hairy humanoid is killed nearby.
In Washington D.C., Scully brings to Mulder's attention news about a body found in New Jersey with parts bitten off, possibly by a human. Upon arriving at the Atlantic City morgue, however, the local Detective Thompson denies the agents access to the investigation. Scully returns to Washington to attend her godson's birthday party, while Mulder stays in New Jersey. At the party, Scully meets Rob, the divorced father of one of the guests. Meanwhile, Mulder questions homeless people about the case, and gives his hotel room key to a homeless man who cooperates. Mulder sleeps in an alley and sees a shadowy creature, but is arrested.
The next morning, Detective Thompson meets with Mulder and Scully when she comes down to pick up her partner. Before going on a date with Rob, Scully brings Mulder to meet with Dr. Diamond, a professor of anthropology at the University of Maryland. The local park ranger contacts Mulder after finding the corpse of a wild man in the woods. Mulder believes that the creature's mate has headed into Atlantic City in search of food after its death. The agents, along with the ranger and Dr. Diamond search for the creature in an abandoned building. Thompson meanwhile is also searching the same building with a SWAT team.
Mulder is attacked by the creature, which escapes soon after. The beast is chased through the woods, and still manages to escape after being shot with a tranquilizer dart. The SWAT team soon finds her and kills her. The autopsy reveals no prehistoric bone structure, although human bones are located within her digestive tract. Mulder leaves to talk to an ethnobiologist at the Smithsonian; Scully turns down a second date with Rob to join him. Meanwhile in the woods the child of the creature appears.
