A WOMAN DETECTIVE'S DISTURBING DREAMS ABOUT A 50-YEAR-OLD MURDER SPREE MAY BE HERALDING THE RETURN OF THE KILLER.
In the town of Aubrey, Missouri, a woman detective begins having strange, prophetic dreams about a string of 50-year-old unsolved murders. Mulder and Scully are called in when, in a fugue state, the detective uncovers the unmarked grave of a long-dead FBI agent who was investigating the murders. Matters escalate when young women in the area are murdered with the same MO as the older murders, leading Mulder and Scully to interrogate the original suspect, now 77 years old and paroled from prison. But the woman detective's terrifying nightmares continue, leading the agents into her own dark and tangled past, and an ancient evil that may have been
passed down through the generations.
Notes
The line about Mulder liking women named BJ may be a reference to his off-screen love life at the time. His girlfriend, Perry Reeves, played a woman named B.J. on "Doogie Howser".

Mulder: "Exactly. But there's another mystery."
Scully: "Which is?"
Mulder: "Well, I'd like to know why this police woman would suddenly drive her car into a field the size of Rhode Island and for no rhyme or reason, dig up the bones of a man whose been missing for 50 years. I mean unless there was a neon sign saying 'Dig Here'."
Scully: "I guess that's why we're going to Aubrey."
Mulder: "Yes, and also, I've always been intrigued by women named BJ."

Scully: "Well then how do you explain the cuts on her own chest?"
Mulder: "I can't explain everything. Maybe she carved them on herself or maybe it's some kind of weird stigmata. Whatever it is, BJ's not herself."
