Emily

"The X-Files is a fierce twister storm of creative form, evident in the beautiful opening sequence to this episode."

Emily in Hosp
On Sunday, December 14, 1997, the episode, "Emily", aired.

"Emily", the follow-up to last week's episode "Christmas Carol", ended the mystery surrounding young Emily Sim. A child who DNA-wise is one the daughters of Agent Scully. This episode, like the previous one, has tremendous acting by Gillian Anderson. Anderson touched viewer's hearts with her believable show of emotion and her love for a dying child. Personally, I loved the scene where Scully lays down beside Emily right before she dies. This wonderful acting was enhanced by the fantastic selections of music by Mark Snow.

Below, are a few quotes from the episode and the ratings submitted by XFEOS members. They are followed with the comments and opinions on "Emily".


Scully: "It begins where it ends, in nothingness. A nightmare born from deepest fears coming to me unguarded. Whispering images unlocked from tim and distance. A soul unbound, touched by others but never held, on a course charted by some unseen hand. The journey ahead promising no more than my past reflected back upon me. Unitl at last, I reach the end. Facing a truth I can no longer deny. Alone, as ever."

Mulder: "I found Emily's surrogate mother...Her mother-of-record is one Anna Fugazzi."
Scully: "Fugazzi?"
Mulder: "Yeah. As in slang term for fake."
Scully: "I don't understand. Why create a false record?"
Mulder: "Because there are no true records. Emily didn't come into this world through any system that keeps them."
Scully: "Well, she was born to someone. She had to belong to someone."
Mulder: "Some who's proven that they'll do anything to protect her or their interest in her."

Mulder: "No matter how much you love this little girl, she is a miracle that was never meant to be, Scully."

Judge: "Help me out here. Does F.B.I. stand for Federal Bureau of Imagination? Am I to understand that you partner, along with a dozen women from Allentown, Pennsylvania were abducted by employees of our federal government?...And you found evidence that during this time she was subjected to a series of experiments were, you say, they extracted her ova?"
Mulder w/Scully Fetus
Mulder: "Yes, all of them."
Judge: "Can that be done?"
Mulder: "I believe it can and was and that Emily Sim was concieved as a result of those experiments."
Judge: "And that can be done as well?"
Mulder: "I don't know how else to explain it. A medical exam of Ms. scully would show that she hasn't given birth."
Judge: "Under normal circumstances, this petition would be fairly simple, but I am having a hard wrapping my brain around this Michael Crichton bit."

Mulder: "But the fact remains that Ms. Scully is the mother of this child."
Judge: "Not in any legal definition."
Mulder: "If you could show me a legal precedent for this case, I'd like to see it. Dana has known for quite some time that she can't bear children. She hasn't known why. Now however that happened, the fact that she can adopt this child--her own flesh and blood--is something I don't feel I have the right to question and I don't believe anybody has the right to stand in the way of."

Scully: "Why didn't you tell me, Mulder."
Mulder: "I never expected this. I thought I was protecting you."
Scully: "Why would they do this to me?"
Mulder: "I only that genetic experiments were being done, that children were being created."

Mulder to Dr. Calderon: "Abducting women, stealing their unborn children! Medical rapists, that's all you are!"

Ms. Chambliss: "Miss Scully, I'm going to say something to you and I don't want you to take this the wron way, but I don't think that you are capable right now of responding with any clinical ability."
Scully: "Do you think I don't want what's best for this child? Do you think that I'm not trying to save her life?"
Chambliss: "I'm not the ultimate authority here, but you don't have the authority either over this child or her future."
Scully: "You can get a court order and you can try to enforce it, but I suggest that if your job is to do what's best for this child, you do everything in your capabilities to tell the authorities that if they take Emily out of this hospital, they are going to hasten her illness. And I'm going to make it know that all of you are responsible."

Mulder: "Dou you know anything about pharmaceuticals?"
Frohike: "Medicinal or recreational?"

Scully: "[Emily's] gone into a coma. I'm okay, Mulder. It's what's meant to be."
Emily
Mulder: "But if you could treat her?"
Scully: "I wouldn't. I wouldn't do it to her."
Mulder: "Are you sure?"
Scully: "Mulder, whoever brought this child into this world didn't intend to love her."
Mulder: "She was born to serve an agenda."
Scully: "And I have a chance to stop that. You were right, this child was not meant to be."

Scully: "Who are the men who would create a life whose only hope is to die?"
Mulder: "I don't know. But that you found her and you had a chance to love her, then maybe she was meant for that, too."
Scully: "She found me ."
Mulder: "So you could save her."
Scully nods her head 'yes'.
