Odin merely states that the meat-eaters will be cleansed." Odin claims that he has never worked with scopolamine, after which Mulder asks if his religion allows for revenge.
Mulder asks Odin to step outside, which he refuses until he is arrested and taken to the Sheriff's office. He denies them entrance, stating that they are meat-eaters and that their presence would desecrate the kitchen. The agents arrive at Odin's residence looking to speak with him. Scully has done a background check on Odin, revealing that he used to be Doctor Herman, who left his hospital after being investigated for what Scully describes as performing without a license. It is also a controlled substance, only purchasable by doctors. In small doses, it is used for motion sickness, but large doses make it a powerful anesthetic and hallucinogen, used by Columbian gangs. Scully finds that she has trace amounts of what she thinks is an opiate, and dangerously high levels of something known as scopolamine. The next day, the same young woman is found wandering the woods in her bra and panties, scared and terrified of the flora and fauna around her, seeing massive black crows and thousands of crawling insects in the ground. The young woman, while she is distracted, is gagged and abducted. When she goes to investigate, she finds a whimpering dog. While she is walking down the street to her house, she hears a strange noise coming from the alley. Rick drives his girlfriend home in his truck. Mulder chases them off, and one of the bullies reveals himself to the Sheriff's son, Rick. They see one of the cult members walking past the restaurant, where he is promptly harassed by townsfolk. The philosophy states that one can become open to enlightened spirits. Mulder explains that it's an old philosophy. Scully and Mulder discuss the Church while eating ribs. Mulder asks where he can find a good hotel. The agents leave the house, where the sheriff tells them that Gary was a good kid, and that he recently gave up football. Stevie can't, but the same person who spied on Beth is shown to be spying on Scully. She asks if he can identify who his brother talked to. Scully meets Gary's younger brother, Stevie. Mulder presses further, and Gary describes it as an animal spirit. He remembers being in the woods and falling, and claims that a spirit entered him. The agents go to see Gary Kane, who admits to only remembering fragments of what happened. After Odin notices the agents and the Sheriff, he encourages them to "Open their hearts and minds." Odin types into a computer that projects words of the sermon, while the reader dictates his words as they appear on the screen. Mulder explains the cult beliefs to Scully as they watch. She claims that the guides speak through her, allowing them to pass into spirit. A young woman in front describes the 'Age of Aquarius' and that they are eighteen years from a new kingdom. Scully expresses her doubt as to the involvement of the Church, where Richard Odin is preaching to the cult members. They arrive at the church, to see members, all of whom wear white gowns and red turbans, walking inside. He tells them of how they stole over 100 cattle and kept them as pets, calling it a monument to barbarism.
The agents go to Delta Glen, Wisconsin, where Sheriff Mazeroski informs them of the Church of the Red Museum, which is a cult of vegetarians. He also mentions that the local Sheriff believes the children to be possessed. He confirms that there have been two other victims, both in Wisconsin, with the same details. Scully initially asks if it is just a school prank, but Mulder informs her of other victims that have had to be hospitalized due to fear and hysteria. The police report states only that Gary was contacted over the phone twelve hours prior. He is confused and frightened, and turns around to reveal that the phrase 'HE IS ONE' has been written on his back with black ink. Twelve hours later, Gary Kane is running around the woods in his underwear, where he is sighted by the local sheriff. Four hours later, he has not returned, and Beth calls the police. At the same time, her older son Gary receives a call and leaves the house, telling his younger brother that he'll be back in five minutes. Unbeknownst to her, she is being spied on by someone through a peep hole in her bathroom mirror. A worker named Beth Kane leaves for home, where she prepares to take a shower. The episode begins at J.A.S.D Beef in Wisconsin, where several cows are being loaded into cages and butchered. The agents investigate a suggested link between a religious cult of vegetarians and the abduction of several teenagers, although they find that the disappearances are actually connected to a deadly man in their own past.
