His wife consoles him and they go to bed, leaving their front door unlocked. The Peacocks arrive with Johnny Mathis' "Wonderful, Wonderful" blasting, waking the already spooked Sheriff, who tells his wife to hide under the bed.
Unable to reach his revolver in time, he arms himself with a baseball bat and attempts an ambush but is overwhelmed by the Peacock brothers, who are armed with homemade clubs and shrug off his attack. They savagely beat the Sheriff and his wife to death before leaving, with Johnny Mathis still turned all the way up.
Barbara Taylor killed by the Peacock brothers. The next morning Mulder and Scully arrive at the Sheriff's house to find Deputy Barney Paster smoking a cigarette in shock. He hands them the lab report and tells them the car the Peacocks were driving originally belonged to a woman from Baltimore, who abandoned it when it died. Looking at the corpses, Mulder comments that the Sheriff's chest is "one big hematoma" and the Peacocks "really went 'caveman' on them.
They also suggest that both parents of the baby were members of the Peacock family, which Scully doesn't understand because no one has seen a female Peacock family member in years.
Eager for vengeance, Paster tells Mulder and Scully he will provide back-up to save the supposed missing woman, whom they believe could have given birth to the baby. The FBI agents cannot understand why the Taylors were murdered at all, since no one could have known about the warrants. They suspect someone must have been in the house when they were searching it. The three prepare to assault the Peacock residence.
Upon arriving, Deputy Paster puts on a bullet-proof vest; he claims he has seen them fire muskets before, and refuses to be taken out by "some antique". Inside, the brothers are told by a shadowy pair of eyes to maintain the Peacock way of life. The agents begin to flank the property and Paster breaks down the front door, only to be decapitated by a booby-trapped axe—too late to heed Scully's warning.
Peacock being discovered by Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. The brothers descend upon Paster's body and tear it apart. Falling back, Mulder recalls a show he watched the previous night about animals and how they hunt. He states that "The eldest will move in to ensure the prey has been killed. Encircling the prey signals that it's safe to approach. He proposes that they lure the brothers out of the house by releasing their livestock.
Upon entering the house and avoiding a trap, Mulder and Scully encounter the Peacocks' mother. She is in terrible shape, with missing teeth, amputated limbs, and living under the bed on a sled. She screams in terror, and Scully tries to comfort her. He is a strong believer in the supernatural and is a talented profiler. Furthermore, he believes that intelligent life exists on Earth and that it is present in the universe.
This sci-fi show is the scariest I have ever seen. There is not much violence in this film, but it is creepy nonetheless. The troubling concepts of incest and burying newborns alive certainly earned the warning for audiences. But even the increased rating wasn't alarm enough, and many viewers and producers thought that the episode had gone too far and created something truly gruesome.
As a result, Fox refused to re-air the episode for three years after its initial broadcast. When they eventually did re-run it, the controversial nature and subsequent banning from the air waves became part of the promotional material, with Fox leaning heavily on the grotesque nature of the episode to draw in a larger audience.
Some think that the episode is only remembered because of the controversy surrounding banning it , rather than than the gruesome themes it depicts. Viewers speculated that despite — or because of — its reputation, "Home" would be revisited in The X-Files revival in The fourth episode of the revived Season 10 was titled "Home Again," contributing to these rumors.
