Scully: Well, then I can't help you anymore.

Mulder: Scully, you're making this personal.

Frohike: Oh, no he di'int!

Langly: That ain't right.

Byers: Uh oh.

Scully: Personal?! PERSONAL?! Of course it's personal! I was abducted, my NECK was chipified, my sister was SHOT in the head, I almost DIED from cancer, I was abducted AGAIN and I can NEVER have children all because of the X-Files! All for YOU and your quest for the truth! And now I've been fired from the FBI! The only thing left is my relationship with you and if you take that away by siding with that lying whore, I'm not going to continue!

Scully walks past him and slams the door on her way out. Mulder just watches her go in silence. The Lone Gunmen give each other looks. Even they know Mulder's being played. I have a feeling that although they've known Mulder a lot longer, they absolutely adore Scully and would back her up any day.

Diana's Apartment Of Smelly Hoo Hoos. Mulder, who pretends to buck Scully's common sense and logic but in actuality takes it very seriously because Scully is the voice inside his head, has decided to confront Diana. He knocks on her door but there's no answer, so he breaks in using his lockpick. Sidebar: As Mulder walks down the hallway, it's pretty obvious that he's never been there before. He's even checking the numbers on the doors. I know there's some out there who've speculated that the reason Mulder acted so much like a dick this season was because he was actually having a relationship with Diana. But that's clearly not the case. I'd bet a million bucks that Mulder never associated with Diana outside of running into her in the FBI hallways. Mulder may have been hung up on her but Scully was always his #1 girl. Even if, at times, he didn't act like it. Oh! Plus in his dream in The Sixth Extinction: Amor Fati when Mulder's talking to Diana outside after they, you know... ew, Diana tells him that he needs to become a father and he says something like he's only slept with her the one time. And Mulder thought that all was really happening. So, yeah. He never had sex with Diana. I mean, he did before of course. Years ago. But not since she came back. Moving on. ["Clearly, he didn't rattle her nymphomaniac bones, then." - raceguy] So Mulder breaks into her apartment. No lights are on and he goes into her bedroom, looking through her drawers and only finding cigarettes (Because she's evil!) and lingerie (Because she's a whore!). He sniffs the panties, makes a face like he's going to puke and throws them back into the drawer. The apartment door opens and Mulder pulls out his gun. CSM enters, lights a cig, walks into Diana's bedroom and right in front of Mulder's gun. Mulder quips about the interesting company CSM keeps. CSM snarks about Mulder's lingerie fetish. Mulder tells him that Diana's panties are foul. Mulder calls him " C.G.B.", says they he knows his game and he's "got nothing to lose." Except his life. And Scully. But you know, besides those two things he's got nothing to lose. CSM remarks how he's been in front of Mulder's gun before and he was too much of a pussy to pull the trigger. Mulder cocks the gun. CSM then pulls the old Manipulation Card out of his back pocket and tells Mulder he came to Diana's apartment because he was looking for Spender. LIAH! He says that Spender has betrayed him and chosen to believe in Mulder's cause. "That presumes my cause is wrong." CSM tells him it is. Mulder starts yelling. "I'm not the one using innocent people -- innocent WOMEN -- as lab rats, trying to create a hybrid -- an alien/human hybrid -- so that I might save my own SORRY ASS when they finally come knocking..." I think Mulder has finally figured out who was behind Scully's abduction. Bravo, my friend. Bravo. It only took you four years. I think he deserves a promotion to Captain Obvious. CSM smiles but Mulder doesn't think it's funny. CSM tells him that Bill Mulder was against it too and then we're treated to flashbacks of the 70's Syndicate in that air base hangar. CSM blah blahs about the State Department and 1947 and Roswell. WE KNOW! Bill Mulder was against allying with the alien colonists. Then Mulder and CSM go back in forth about who was saving who and how they postponed invasion and Mulder berates him for giving their families to the aliens like they were objects. CSM blah blahs about the alien DNA and the hybrid program and the vaccine, which was Bill Mulder's idea. CSM continues to bore us to death with talk of the virus and the bees and how they're going to hand over Cassandra. Colonization will start. Mulder stands up. "You stop it... or everyone dies," Mulder says rather weakly. CSM says that he's going to live. Then CSM manipulates Mulder by saying that the only way he'll live and see his sister again is by joining his cause. What a liar. He knows Samantha is dead. At least I think so. But I highly doubt at this point 1013 knew Samantha was running around in the starlight. ["Of course not. They probably didn't know until they were writing the last five minutes of Closure." - <i>raceguy</i>] Anyways, CSM hands him a piece of paper. "Save her. Save yourself." Then he leaves. Ok, sidebar: I've been racking my brain over the identity of "her". He could mean Diana because that's whose apartment they're sitting in. But CSM has got to know that Mulder and Diana have no relationship, right? So could he be talking about Scully? She's the only legitimate "her" in Mulder's life and CSM knows that. But maybe he was talking about Diana. I can't figure it out. I want to go with Scully because that's what makes me happy. But in all likelihood he was talking about Diana.
