‘Home’
(Season 4, Episode 2)
After giving birth to a deformed baby, an incestuous family buries the baby during a rainstorm. When the baby is discovered by a group of boys playing a sandlot ball game, Agents Mulder and Scully are brought in to the small town to investigate the corpse. When it is discovered that the baby is the product of family inbreeding, all signs point to a nearby family- The Peacocks.
Why it’s worth watching: Well, this is probably the shows most graphic episode. So much so, the network banned it from ever being rerun after it premiered on TV, and was given a viewer discretion warning. This truly is a disturbing episode and was one of my top picks of the series growing up. It’s worth watching simply because it’s scary as hell, and along with the disturbing content comes some wit and thought provoking elements that are meant to stay with you long after watching it.
