* RevengeByProxy: The human bat was attacked by a hunter in 1956 and it starts killing everyone who has that hunter's scent no matter how tenuous the link between them. This involves the hunter's wife who died of natural causes and consequently having the hunter's smell which is then transferred to the undertaker, his wife, the cop who found the body and finally even Doggett and Scully though it fails to kill Doggett and Scully.
