Pre-revival CC hints that they’ll address Scully’s immortality in the revival. Then Scully casually mentions her ‘immortality’ to Mulder (like it’s totally a thing they talk/joke about, when it really never was before, but whatever).

So then in My Struggle 2 we find out that Scully is one of the ‘chosen’ and won’t get sick and die (what a massive change the entire mythology, but whatever, we’re not here to talk about that). So why do I feel like this is what CC was hinting at? She’s safe in the apocalypse. Scully’s ‘immortality’ is that she isn’t going to die with everyone else. It’s not really ‘immortality’ but this is CC, so ‘immortality’ means whatever the fuck he wants it to mean at that point in time. And not dying with the rest of the population is a pretty big deal.

This fits in with Clyde Bruckman telling Scully that she isn’t going to die. Kudos, Chris, you remember one line that really could have been him just not wanting to tell her how she dies. But anyway, Clyde could just see her not dying in the apocalyptic plague, so therefore she doesn’t die. (sidenote: given that Clyde hints that Mulder dies of auto-erotic asphyxiation, he isn’t going to die in this plague either, so there’s that. I mean unless the only way to cure Mulder is for Scully to fuck the disease out of him, and ya know, accidentally goes to far...). 

This doesn’t so much fit in with Fellig taking Scully’s place with death, possibly making her immortal. But ya know, it’s CC, he probably forgot exactly what happened in this episode, and just remembered that it hinted at Scully being immortal. That is what happens when you refuse to have a show bible to keep your own show consistent.
