Mulder and Scully find an uncooperative detective in the investigation of a homeless man found dead and partially cannibalized outside of Atlantic City. Mulder brings up the Jersey Devil, a legendary "East Coast Bigfoot" which attacks cars from the woods. Mulder begins conducting his own investigation, and spots a creature in the outskirts of the city. Scully, meanwhile, gets into the dating scene.
When the remains of a long-dead male beast are found, Mulder realizes that a female beast may have killed the homeless man. In trying to find and tranquilize it, the beast attacks Mulder but doesn't kill him, leading him to think that it only kills when threatened. However, the beast is shot and killed after trying to escape into the woods. An autopsy finds that the beast woman gave birth, and the episode ends with a father and son hiking in the state park, near the daughter of the beasts, as they discuss the Jersey Devil.
