When Scully mentions wanting to perform an autopsy on Paula's remains, Randolph says that permission will have to come from Walter Chaco, the town patriarch, company founder and Paula's grandfather and legal guardian. Gray had a brain scan at the county hospital, which came back negative. While treating Jess's neck wound, the plant's doctor, Vance Randolph, tells Mulder and Scully that he treated both George Kearns and Paula Gray for headaches and insomnia, but was unqualified to diagnose their psychological problems as anything other than stress. Scully tries to calm her, and it seems to be working, but then Sheriff Arens shoots Paula dead, knocking her away from Harold and into a feed grinder. She begins screaming, and as Harold tries to calm her, grabs a knife and puts it to his neck. However, in the middle of their conversation, a commotion breaks out: Paula has begun to hallucinate, and sees George's severed head on a stake on the conveyor belt rather than a chicken carcass. Harold adds that Kearns had a bone to pick with everyone, including the federal government he worked for, against whom Kearns filed a huge worker's compensation lawsuit, claiming that working at the plant was giving him terrible headaches. At the same time, Mulder and Scully are questioning the shift manager, Jess Harold, who says that three other inspectors gave the plant excellent ratings, and no one was worried about Kearns' report. She dry-swallows some pills before going onto the processing line. The next morning, Paula Gray is preparing for her shift at the Chaco Chicken plant, but is nervous and irritable. When Mulder asks if she knew that George was about to file a report about health violations at the chicken processing plant, Doris says her husband never discussed his work. Mulder and Scully interview Doris, who does not seem particularly upset that her husband has disappeared, though uneasy about something else. Married to a local woman, Doris, George was a notorious philanderer. When asked about Kearns, the Sheriff says he was an outsider, who made himself unpopular around the town and never managed to fit in. ![]() ![]() He said that they made no note of the witches peg since they are commonly found in these fields. The local Sheriff, Tom Arens, drives up and tells them the fire may have been just the work of some locals burning trash illegally. In Dudley, Mulder and Scully investigate the place of the sighting, and finds a huge clearing made by a bonfire, and a "witches peg", which seems to confirm Mulder's theory. Mulder theorizes a connection to foxfires. Jones was found wandering in the woods three days after pulling off Highway 10 to take a nap on the side of the road, just outside Dudley when this occurred. Scully feels the case is yet another "wild goose chase", but Mulder shows her documentary footage of a deranged man, Creighton Jones, in a mental hospital, talking about fire spirits, wanting their "pound of flesh" and how he would not let them get him. Kearns was a poultry inspector for the Department of Agriculture, assigned to the famous Chaco Chicken Plant in Dudley. Then a twig snaps and he turns to see a tall figure looming over him, wearing a tribal mask and raising a huge ceremonial ax. Too late, Kearns starts to sense something wrong, then sees a circle of strange lights closing in on him from the woods. When he calls for her, she does not answer. Following her into the woods, before long, Kearns starts to fall behind, and loses sight of her. She gets out of the car, but before he can follow her, he has a sudden, violent seizure, and hurriedly dry-swallows some pills from a bottle. Kearns wonders why they cannot spring for a motel room, but Gray insists on leading him into the woods. Late at night, in the woods near the town of Dudley, Arkansas, a middle-aged George KearnsĪnd a much younger Paula Gray drive into the woods with amorous intentions. Mulder and Scully investigate the disappearance of a man in a town where the residents really are what they eat.
