Scully's mother died in the X-Files episode Home Again that first aired on February 8, 2016. It was Sheila Larkin's first appearance back since the episode Provenance that aired in 2002. She was the last of the parents who raised Mulder and Scully to die on the show. The episode was written by Glen Morgan whose last episode he penned was Never Again that first aired in 1997. Morgan also penned the episode that saw the death of Scully's father (Beyond the Sea 1994). Thematically, some consider it part of an emotional trilogy for Scully made up of Home, Never Again, and Home Again. The episode marked the first time Charles Scully was heard. It was also said that this was the first time Scully called Mulder Fox since Tooms (1994). ("Home Again", X-Files, TV Event)
