The X-Files Season 11: 10 Things We Learned From 'This'
4. Mulder Is Very Much In Love With Scully
After last week's episode, Mulder's love of Dr. Scully just had to be included. After all, a good portion of the fanbase is borderline obsessive over the relationship status of FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.
While the relationship took a back seat last week (and Mulder was quick to leave Scully's side while she was hospitalized), this week, a few little tells should quell the fury of the 'shipper crowd. For one, when we first come across the pair in This, they're napping side-by-side on Mulder's couch.
Then there's Mulder playfully telling Scully that she's "adorbs" later in the episode, when she's startled awake at a diner while on the run from a Russian private security firm/hit squad. Not to mention a rather suggestive handcuff joke.
And come episode's end, we're right back where we started, with Mulder and Scully settling in on the sofa, exhausted but together.
Okay, it's not a smoking gun, but for any who were really concerned, you can rest easy. Chances are, by the end of the season (which may very well be the end of the series), the pair will be back together for good.
