Where in the world were Mulder and Scully?

I'm sure someone else has already made this list, but I've decided to keep track of how many U.S. states (and DC) (and Puerto Rico) Mulder and Scully investigate an incident in. Not counting other locations where part of the incident happens but Mulder and Scully never go to (like England in 1:12). (edited 3/27/24 after watching 2:19) This started as a list of US states and I continue to be interested in counting US states and territories, but the time has come to set up the list for other locations as well. This list includes places that Mulder and/or Scully go to during the episode to investigate a case. Action in DC that is not related to a case in DC does not count. If the action is in DC and spills over to Maryland and/or Virginia, I just count DC, but if the thing starts in VA and then things also happen in DC, I count both. I don't know, it's not an exact science, and the DC area is fluid to me. So far we have...

#beesarthur hasn't watched the x-files #some of these that are in the DC area i am trying to not overthink and just assign the state or DC that they seem to most take place #cause for exampel 1:15 i think parts of it might technically be in VA or DC but the action starts in maryland #and of course DC sort of doesn't count not because it's not a state but because it's the home base #i write those tags after 1:15 and then of course in 1:16 the action really is mostly in DC so now we've got DC properly on the list #scully WAS the case in 2:8 and it appears to take place in DC or at least in the DMV so I'm calling it DC #2:16 was a doozy but i included everywhere that mulder and scully physically were except for DC because the case wasn't happening in DC #(probably)#so massachussetts ny pennsylvania and maryland #2:25 went everywhere man but i counted it as New Mexico #also considering how many times Mulder has talked about Roswell 1947 it's wild it took this long to get to New Mexico #i certainly haven't counted new York everything the 46th street group shows up but i counted it this time because Mulder went there #this time being 3:16 #in 3:18 again we only count massachusetts and not ecuador because mulder and scully didn't go to ecuador #4:7 isn't on this list because mulder and scully don't go anywhere!!#4:9 is a doozy #4:16 is another DoD episode and another True DMV episode - we get the District Maryland and Virginia!!#i didn't want to count south carolina for 4:21 since Mulder and Scully don't go there but i've marked it since Skinner went there #and this case is clearly happening anywhere the bees can be sent through the mail #5:3 counts because it meets my threshold of either mulder or scully being there #undecided about how to count 5:15 #I DO NOT think it is a coincidence that they go to 'Arizona' for the first time in 6:1 aka the first regular episode that was filmed in LA #instead of Vancouver!!#and in another shocker the second episode they filmed in California is the first time an episode is set in Nevada!#maryland in 6:12 according to the idea that 'fort marlene' is fictional fort dietrick #el rico air force base could be anywhere in the dmv and honestly i'm not going to make a guess #didn't add 6:19 because Mulder and Scully just stay in the DMV and the “case” is not there #but Arthur Dales the brother and Josh Exley were in New Mexico in the 1940s #i didn't record DC in 6:22 originally but i probably should; i feel like in 7:1 Mulder is fully the x-file himself #please note that 7:2 also includes whatever suburban dc area location the csm's witness protection neighborhood is

The X-Files, 8:21: Existence

a much-giffed scene

What is the plot? Scully and Reyes drive to Doggett's birthplace in the abandoned town of Democrat Hot Springs, Georgia for a secret place to cosplay at being lesbian separatists have a safe place for Scully to give birth. Reyes finds dozens of candles and a way to boil water, but it doesn't stay a secret for long. Meanwhile, at the FBI, Skinner, Doggett, and Mulder engage in a series of foot and car chases through the Hoover building and its parking garage with Krycek, alien replicants who have security clearance, and Billy Miles, who just gets where he wants to by pushing his whole body through doors. Kersh is also there at the end, not believing any of it (allegedly) but Scully's baby is real, and the Lone Gunmen come to give him gifts (presumably gold, frankincense, and myrrh).

What does this episode suggest about Mulder and Scully’s relationship with each other? Well, when Scully acknowledges that she had wondered how she got pregnant and worried what it meant, Mulder says that they both know the truth. When she asks what that is, he kisses her, and she kisses him back. Which could mean anything, still!! But sure suggests that she might have gotten pregnant because she had sex with Mulder.

Where are the aliens? probably controlling Kersh, or doing his bidding, it's hard to say

The X-Files, 8:20: Essence

when you're tired of living in a never-ending x-file

What is the plot? Scully's mom is throwing her a baby shower, complete with a recommendation for a baby nurse/housekeeper, who, because this is an end-of-season episode of The X-Files, is involved in the alien baby situation. She might be one of the people who is trying to protect Scully and/or her baby from Billy Miles and other alien replicants, but it's really unclear who anyone is actually trying to protect or harm. Anyone, that is, other than Mulder, Skinner, and Doggett, who are united in protecting Scully and her baby. With the help of Monica Reyes and (of course) of someone who is an alien replicant plant in the FBI, they pull off an unbelievably effective maneuver to get alien Billy Miles into a trash compactor so that he can't karate-chop anyone else's head off.

What does this episode suggest about Mulder and Scully’s relationship with each other? Skinner has learned that Mulder has questions about how Scully's baby came to be, so he finally (in not so many words) asks Mulder if he is the father of Scully's baby. Mulder doesn't answer, ostensibly on principle.

Where are the aliens? e v e r y w h e r e

The X-Files, 8:19: Alone

What is the plot? Scully's doctor (unseen, unknown if she is involved with the alien baby conspiracy or not) has told her she needs to start her maternity leave, and Doggett gets a new partner, a delightful audience stand-in from the accounting department. She seems really doomed, but she does survive the episode, though she chooses to leave the x-files. Scully tells Doggett that her Apollo medallian symbolizes that no one gets there alone, and this episode demonstrates that you also shouldn't create a Mr. Hyde reptilian monster to turn into, that's still being alone, and will definitely make you worse!

What does this episode suggest about Mulder and Scully’s relationship with each other? Is Mulder going with Scully to lamaze class? To a doctor's appointment? It definitely seems that Mr. and Mrs. Spooky are having a baby and simply need time off from the x-files (admittedly, Mulder was fired), but they also both struggle with taking time off from the x-files (that is what the episode suggests about their relationship to each other and to work).

Where are the aliens? perhaps Mr. Stites learned some things about shapeshifting from them
