Originally Aired October 8, 1993. So far the monster episodes aren't wowing me like I remember. (They are partly to blame for my love of Supernatural's earlier seasons!) Something I did notice is that the shows I watch currently use multiple actors from throughout the series. This episode alone had 2 actors that had both had parts on Supernatural and Once Upon a Time.
This episode is pretty much what the title implies, it's about the Jersey Devil, only not the version of the one I remember growing up with. (Part human, part Devil. This one was more Caveman/Big Foot) It starts out with a family out in the woods of New Jersey running over something, it ends up being a male. Mulder talks Scully into a trip to Atlantic City, where we learn that the local PD aren't wanting to help because they know there is something out there, but fear tourism will drop if it becomes known.
Honestly that's about it for the episode, Mulder sleeps out in the streets like a homeless person, and gets locked up because he didn't leave when the local sheriff told him to, and Scully goes on a date. She then goes to bail Mulder out/pick him up from jail, they go investigate and find a "hot" cave woman. The local PD shoot and kill her. Mulder suspects that there was offspring. The last scene is a father and son walking in the woods, father telling the boy about the Jersey Devil legend, as the camera closes in on a small wild child.
Besides seeing familiar faces from new shows, the only thing of note with this episode is that it's the first hint of Mulder's porn addiction. (He's "reading" a Hanky Panky article when Scully first sees him in the episode.) Until tomorrow, ciao. xoxo
