When she looks for her son again he has vanished. As she searches frantically for Billy a dark-haired boy walks off holding Billy's backpack.
Ten years later, Lisa goes to the Elementary school to pick up her son Josh. The principal takes her to the swing set, where her son Billy is sitting there, the same age as when he disappeared.
Scully and Doggett arrive at the hospital where Billy is being checked out. Scully pronounces him fit and health but he refuses to talk. Doggett treating the case as a kidnapping attempts to interview Billy to find out who took him, much to Lisa's annoyance that she refuses to co-operate further.
Scully believes that Billy is not the same child, however test results prove he is. Doggett uses the original case file on Billy's disappearance to track down the dark-haired boy, Ronnie Purnell, he goes to question him but Ronnie denies having anything to do with it.
That night Lisa argues with her husband Doug about Billy's return. Next morning Josh is found covered in blood although he is unharmed. A knife found in his bedroom has never been seen before. Tests reveal that the blood is Billy's but he too is unharmed. When Ronnie is seen outside the Underwood house, Scully and Doggett question him, he claims he did not believe Billy was really there. Leading them to believe he knows more about the case.
Notewothy Quote
Scully: "Okay, the clothes, the age and condition of the bones, the location of the
grave. There is no doubt that that is Billy Underwood's skeleton that is in that grave."
Doggett: "We spent time with this boy. Doctors took Billy's blood. You examined
him yourself. Now, I can't accept it. I can't believe we're asking them to."
