Guys… I’m completely devastated by the script for the end of “Never Again”…
Like what do you mean he was about to tell her that her life has become his too… and he stops but she already knew what he was going to say.
I’m crying.

Mulder is a smartass and doesn't forget anything. In "Milagro", when Scully tells him that she thinks he knows her better than that after he Mulder tells her that she ends up in a horizontal tango, do you think in his mind he thought back to Scully with Ed Jerse? He does know her and he has seen her go out on 2 dates. She slept with 50% of her dates but that is because he interrupted her first date.
I would venture to guess yes, personally. CC & Co. usually tuck away the "big" episodes and reference them later.
Here's what the script says:
And here's their faces:
I think he knows it's not entirely out of Scully's character-- even Scully knows, hence why she's "disturbed" rather than shocked.
Is it a direct Never Again implication? It's always possible with the writers (read: Frank Spotnitz primarily.) If so, I haven't heard or read a peep from them.
Never Again Cut Dialogue; Mulder asks to see Scully's tattoo
I’ve seen a couple posts abt Never Again recently where they refer to Ed Jerse as evil, etc. Ed might be a fuck up — we don’t really know why his wife left him but he obviously blames himself to a large degree — but he doesn’t murder out of malice. His kills aren’t preplanned, and in fact he doesn’t seem to want to do them at all, but there is a force in his head that he cannot control that will poke him and poke him and poke him until he breaks. It’s implied that this force is supernatural or psychedelic, but there’s room for interpretation. His intrusive thoughts, his psychosis (potentially brought on by chemicals in the tattoo, or maybe it happened organically or supernaturally) — these are symptoms, not character traits. Ed Jerse isn’t evil, he’s a man who needs help. Scully sees that in him. She doesn’t hate him, even after he hurts her, because she knows he wouldn’t have done it if he was in his right mind. I know some people will say it’s not that deep, but I think recognizing the difference between psychosis and malice is important, even in fiction.
Okay it is not a coincidence that she decided to go out with some pathetic sad boi who looks and acts like Temu Mulder

They gave Ed Jerse an ugly tie and everything
I'm just saying that Ed Jerse does have some similar looks to Mulder so I could see why Scully decided to have a little fun with him (besides the life crisis and being mad at Mulder).
155 Words - cheesesteak, moon, fox with a lower case f
Barnes Fountain, midnight. The City of Brotherly Love disgorged another strangely dead.
Moon nearly full, nibbles from the edge, a fresh sugar cookie.
Greasy bag of taquitos, Diet Cokes, box of Raisinets.
Scully’s elbows on her knees, lips pursed. Mulder tosses candy into his mouth.
“I’d kill someone for a cheesesteak right now,” she sighs.
“Whiz or Provolone?” He chews a Raisinet.
“Whiz,” she confesses. “When in Rome.”
He wants to say, “Did Jerse teach you that,” but he doesn’t. She is, after all, dying.
Cover her face.
Shadow at the edge of his vision; it’s a raccoon - a feral cat -
“Fox,” Scully breathes.
The fox is lush and glossy, tail a bold flag.
Scully tosses it a taquito and the animal shies, then sniffs the air. He snatches the food. Retreats.
She tosses more. The fox, chirping, grabs and devours them.
“Mulder look.” She smiles. Wide, joyous. Alive.
Mine eyes dazzle; she died young.
