SYNOPSIS

Mulder and Scully pick up the case of a murdered man - Joel Simmons - when he is found dead in his backyard, his body drained of blood, his mouth disfigured. Mulder at first links the incident to mysterious cattle mutilations that have occurred in the United States since 1967. The agents interview Teena Simmons, Joel’s eight-year-old daughter, who was at home when the murder took place. Teena describes how ‘men from the clouds’ descended and killer her father. Mulder is somewhat puzzled, however, when Teena tells him the men wanted to ‘exsanguinate’ her father, a word far too complex for a little girl to know the meaning of. Later, Mulder and Scully receive word of another, almost identical murder that took place in San Francisco, in which a man named Doug Reardon was found dead in his backyard, also drained of blood and disfigured. Travelling across the other side of the country, they are amazed when they meet Reardon’s eight-year-old daughter, Cindy. She and Teena are absolutely identical in appearance. Teena, meanwhile, disappears from the foster home where she is temporarily housed, apparently the victim of a kidnapping. Scully investigates when it is discovered that Mrs. Reardon had in-vitro fertilization at a clinic in San Francisco. A physician named Sally Kendrick supervised both the Simmons’ and Reardons’ in-vitro fertilization program. Kendrick, it is revealed, was fired from her position after she was discovered tampering with the genetic material of fertilized ova in the lab prior to implant. Deep Throat contacts Mulder regarding the case, and he reveals the existence of a top secret program once run by the United States government called the Litchfield Experiments, in which a group of genetically controlled children were raised and monitored. The boys were named ‘Adam,’ and the girls were named ‘Eve.’ They were, essentially, clones. Mulder and Scully track Eve Six to a mental institution. To their amazement, she looks exactly like Sally Kendrick. Eve Six admits that two other Eves besides herself are still alive, the others and presumably the Adams are dead. The agents realize that Sally Kendrick was continuing the Litchfield Experiments at the clinic in San Francisco where she cloned herself into Teena, Cindy and six other little girls. Meanwhile, one of the other Eves kidnaps Cindy. She takes the girl to a motel and introduces her to Teena. Both little girls knew of the other’s existence, and they were the ones who murdered their own fathers. Eve is convinced she can raise the girls so they will not suffer from the mental disorders that drove the other Eves mad. However, she realizes too late that the girls poisoned her drink, and she is killed. Mulder and Scully are tipped that the girls can be found at the motel. When they arrive, they find Eve dead. The girls claim the two remaining Eves conspired to kill them. Mulder and Scully fall for the story, never suspecting the girls played any role in the murder. Taking the girls into their car, Mulder and Scully pull off the road at a diner so that the girls can use the rest room. Mulder orders four sodas, and when he is not looking, Cindy poisons two of the drinks. Just as they are about to drink their drinks, Mulder realizes that they have been tampered with and stops Scully from ingesting her soda just in time. The girls, however, realize their scheme has been discovered. They play cat-and-mouse with the agents in the diner’s parking lot, but Mulder manages to catch them and they are placed under government arrest. Later, when the case is solved, Teena and Cindy are taken to special cells where they meet with the surviving Eves.

MY THOUGHTS

This is another classic episode from the first season. What i liked most about this episode is at first you think Vampires is what sucked daddy dry then we are led to beleive that aliens played a part in the blood letting when in fact it had nothing to do with either. This episode did a pretty good job of keeping you guessing. I really loved this episode its one of he best from the first season.

MY RATING
9.0/ 10
