FIGHT CLUB

 

 

In Kansas City, Kansas, two religious missionaries visit two women at two different homes in the same neighborhood who look exactly alike. The second woman yells at them to go away and the two men, inexplicably, get into a fight in the second woman's front yard. Later, two FBI agents who look and sound remarkably similar to Mulder and Scully visit the first woman, Betty Templeton (Kathy Griffin). Betty claims to have never seen the other woman before. The other woman then passes her by in a car and the two agents begin fighting each other, much like the missionaries. They are severely injured after the gruesome mauling. Both agents, who had worked together for seven years, said that they were possessed. Meanwhile, the other woman, Lulu Pfeiffer (also Griffin), fails to get a job at a copy shop because of her work history. When she becomes aggravated, all the copies suddenly become black. The other woman, Betty, goes to a similar job with a similar resume.

Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) begin to investigate the case. Later, in a bar, a man named Bert Zupanic (Randall "Tex" Cobb) comes across Betty. Moments later, as Lulu walks in, an earthquake occurs which breaks all the glass in the bar. Lulu then runs out. Mulder finds out through a man named Argyle Saperstein (Art Evans) that Bert is in a relationship with one of the identical women, and that Bert is a professional wrestler. Scully finds that for the past twelve years, the women have followed each other across seventeen states and left mayhem in their wake. Bert is contacted by Argyle, who he is indebted to. It is revealed that while Bert is dating Betty, he has also been having an affair with Lulu. A second earthquake occurs as Lulu prepares to walk in on Bert and Argyle exchanging money. After Betty emerges from the bathroom, the two see each other and the glass in the building begins breaking. Bert is knocked unconscious while Argyle takes the money and leaves.

Mulder and Scully decide to split up and interrogate the doppelgangers. Betty tells Mulder that Lulu is causing all of the problems and forcing her to leave, while Lulu tells Scully the same thing. Later, the two look-alikes pass each other and a sewer grate blows open, sucking Mulder into a storm drain and sealing him in. Scully finds that the girls share the same father, a man by the name of Bob Damphouse, who is in prison and in a perpetual fit of rage due to insanity. Eventually, Mulder finds his way out of the storm drain. At the prison, Scully meets a man that looks exactly like Bert. Lulu and Betty meet at a stadium and everyone in the audience breaks into a fight. They stop when the other Bert shows up, only to start again when the Berts see each other. The episode ends with Mulder and Scully shown bruised and beaten
