Scully: You keep that up and I'll hurt you like that beast woman.

Warning: Spoilers
The Jersey Devil is about an investigation into the mauling of a homeless man in Atlantic City. Mulder has an X file from a similar killing in the area in 1947 and thinks the Jersey Devil may be the culprit.

Even though not to the level of the first four episodes of the series, an episode I look forward to and enjoy viewing. Light and memorable and the discussion throughout first-rate, good secondary character appearances as well. A scene I'd like to focus on, where Mulder talks with the homeless man. The homeless man says he and others have seen it and Mulder gives him his motel key and swaps sleeping arrangements. The moment epitomizes the great character, the man shocked, Mulder so trusting and solely dedicated, as well as showing he cares about the little people. Minor things I dislike; the cops drive by and see the ranger's car and immediately like SWAT is there, I'm not buying it, nor Scully's dive and roll in that suit thing she's wearing.
