Added DiffLines:

* GoofyPrintUnderwear: The second victim, a teenage girl, is shown wearing white, flower print panties when she wakes up. Like the rest of the victims, this isn't done for laughs.


Added DiffLines:

* NakedFreakOut: Of the "wearing only underwear" variation. The victims wake up [[NakedPeopleTrappedOutside out in the woods]] in their underwear, disoriented, and traumatized. Definitely not played for titillation or humor.

The teenagers of a small cattle-ranching town have been disappearing, only to be found stripped and wandering the nearby woods, marked with the phrase "He Is One." Local authorities suspect the Church of the Red Museum, a vegetarian cult that has recently taken up residence. When one of the teens is found dead, however, the toxicology report reveals an unknown substance - one that Scully recognizes from a certain [[Recap/TheXFilesS01E24TheErlenmeyerFlask Erlenmeyer flask]]. Could the town be the staging ground for a sinister government experiment?
