He ties and gags Scully, and keeps her in a dark closet. He kidnaps Scully and takes her to his late mother's abandoned house. Meanwhile, after Scully arrives in Minneapolis, Pfaster forces her car off the road. Tracing a fingerprint to Pfaster from his arrest, Bocks and Mulder raid his apartment, finding one of the prostitute's fingers in his refrigerator. When she contacts Mulder, she learns that neither he nor Bocks made the call. After the session, Scully learns that someone from Minnesota had called for her. In Washington, she has a counseling session with a social worker, during which she shares her anxiety about the investigation. Scully is deeply troubled by Pfaster's crimes, and has unsettling dreams and hallucinations about the case. Pfaster is later released as his charges are dropped. Pfaster shows interest in Scully, and learns her name from the interrogated suspect. He is arrested and is placed in a jail cell across from a suspect being interrogated for Pfaster's crimes by Mulder, Scully, and Bocks. Later, Pfaster attends a night class at a community college, where a female classmate defends herself after he makes threatening advances. In the bathroom, he steals some discarded hair from a brush found in the trashcan. Later, Pfaster-having been hired as a frozen food delivery man-delivers to a low-security house of a woman with teenage daughters. When the prostitute discovers a collection of funerary wreaths in Pfaster's bedroom, he kills her and removes her fingers. Pfaster, who is behind the exhumations, proves Mulder's prediction correct when he brings a prostitute to his apartment. Scully keeps her discomfort with the case to herself, and writes up a field report on necrophilia. Mulder develops a psychological profile of the criminal, believing him to be an escalating "death fetishist" who may resort to murder to satisfy his desires. Two more bodies are found exhumed, with their hair cut and fingernails removed. Scully is disturbed at the sight of the disheveled corpse. Mulder discounts Bocks' theory that this act is a variation of extraterrestrial cattle mutilation, and suggests they search for a human culprit.
Some time later, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are summoned to Minneapolis by Moe Bocks, an FBI field agent who is investigating the exhumation and desecration of a body in a local cemetery. Later that night, as the girl's body is being stored for burial the following day, Pfaster's boss finds him cutting off the corpse's hair.
The ceremony is observed by Donnie Pfaster, the eerie assistant director for the funeral home. Paul, Minnesota, a funeral is held for a young girl. Pfaster was eventually brought back in the season seven episode " Orison", retconning him as an actual demon. Initially, the script called for Donnie Pfaster to be a necrophiliac, but the idea was soon rejected by the Fox Broadcasting Company for being "unacceptable for broadcast standards".

"Irresistible" is one of the few in the series that was intended to have no paranormal elements to it. Scully, still recovering from her earlier abduction, is soon overcome with posttraumatic stress disorder. In the episode, Mulder and Scully investigate a death fetishist who begins kidnapping and killing women to satisfy his obsession. The show centers on FBI special agents Fox Mulder ( David Duchovny) and Dana Scully ( Gillian Anderson) who work on cases linked to the paranormal, called X-Files. The episode was viewed by 8.8 million people upon its first broadcast, and received positive reviews, with much praise to Chinlund's performance as the antagonist. The episode is a "Monster-of-the-Week" story, a stand-alone plot which is unconnected to the series' wider mythology. The episode was written by series creator Chris Carter, directed by David Nutter, and featured the first of two guest appearances by Nick Chinlund as the death fetishist killer Donnie Pfaster. It premiered on the Fox network on January 13, 1995. " Irresistible" is the thirteenth episode of the second season of the American science fiction television series The X-Files.
