Episode Notes

Because of the episode's disturbing imagery, intense violence, and taboo subject matter (the references to incest and inbreeding), this episode only aired once on FOX and has never been seen in syndication.

Episode Quotes

Mulder: I guess we can rule out murder as the cause of death, huh?
Scully: I don't know about that. There is evidence of occlusion due to dirt in the nose and mouth, indicating the dirt has been inhaled.
Mulder: There's something rotten in Mayberry.

Scully: It'd be like living in Mayberry.
Sheriff Taylor: Agents Mulder and Scully... Hi, I'm Sheriff Andy Taylor.
Mulder: For real?

Sheriff Taylor: By the way, this is my deputy, Barney.
Mulder: Fife?!?

Mulder: Well, aside from the need for corrective lenses and the tendency to be abducted by extraterrestrials involved in an international governmental conspiracy, the Mulder family passes genetic muster.

Episode Goofs

The Peacock family has a rare genetic disorder that prevents them from feeling any pain, but in the beginning of the episode, the mother was screaming in pain when she was giving birth.
