Scully interviews her father who claims that he witnessed Dara, who was confined to a wheel chair for all her life, walk out in to the street in the presence of a tall dark figure, whom he describes as the Devil. After a second girl, Paula Koklos dies in similar circumstances, Scully discovers that Dara was adopted at the age of six and that Paula was her twin sister.
Mulder on joining his partner's investigation discovers that Dara and Paula were two of quadruplets. Further investigation reveals that another priest Father Gregory was in the process of trying to adopt Paula, but when he is interviewed, Father Gregory claims he was trying to protect Paula from harm, as part of the ongoing battle between good and evil for all souls.
Scully performs an autopsy on Paula during which she has a vision of Emily lying on the table in Paula's place.
Mulder discovers the identity of the third sister, a homeless girl, but when he tracks her down, he finds Father Gregory there ahead of him, he informs Mulder that the third sister is already dead. Mulder believes that Father Gregory is the murderer but he insists that he is just trying to protect the girl's souls from the Devil.

You are but fools rushing in"
