The episode starts out on a Russian freighter on the coast of NJ, one of the crewmen is recruited into fixing the ships septic system, due to him being a younger crew member. He is pulled into the septic system by an unknown cause and his body is found in the sewers of NeWark several days later. Agent Mulder is assigned the case and confronts his boss, Skinner, telling him that this case must be a form of punishment. Either way he is forced into finishing the case, and Scully volunteers to do the autopsy. During the autopsy she finds a strange worm inside the mans body, which is later revealed as a Flukeworm.
In Newark another worker gets attacked. This time he is saved by his co-worker but still got bite by the thing that attacked him. He goes to the doctor where we see what his wound looks like. It is a star shaped wound that is too big to be made by the tiny flukeworm Scully found but is still the same shape as the Flukeworms bite would be. While at the doctors office Mulder recieves a phone call telling him he has a friend at the FBI. He then proceeds to let the patient go since he has no further questions.
Later that night we see the guy with the wound, Craig, in his bathroom. He is trying to get a taste out of his mouth when he starts spitting up blood. (Honestly if I was him I would have gone back to the doctors!) He gets in the shower and chokes up another Flukeworm.
Mulder, who is now at the Sewage processing plant, finds a fluke like humanoid
And the rest I will leave up to you!! Man what a freaky episode.
