To jog your memory, here are the episodes they're from:
Theef: After a prominent doctor discovers his father-in-law dead and the word "Theef" written on the wall in blood, Mulder suspects hexcraft may be the source of threats against the doctor's family.
Revelations: Mulder tracks a series of religiously motivated homicides. Each of the eleven victims claims to have been stigmatic but all turned out to be frauds. When Mulder and Scully discover a little boy displaying inexplicable wounds of religious significance, they try to protect him from the killer they know will be coming.
All Eyes Lead to the Truth | Season Seven Master Post
Season seven was full of experimenting with different styles, playing with iconic characters, and exploring the last stretch of MSR’s unresolved sexual tension before Mulder’s abduction.
Read through this thread to check out all the different characters we met this season!
The Sixth Extinction (7x01) | Michael Kritschgau
He has no reason to believe any of this has to do with extraterrestrial life. He doesn’t want to believe, in the same way that he doesn’t waste his time trying to prove the existence of Santa Claus.
The Sixth Extinction II: Amor Fati (7x02) | Medical Examiner
The damage to the lungs lingered in her mind. A dull gray mottling she’d noted earlier, the telltale scarring of long-term secondhand smoke inhalation.
Hungry (7x03) | Rob Roberts
Shit. They’re taking the last piece of “beef” with them. Weirdly, to Rob, the idea of getting caught feels secondary to the loss of whatever juicy biteful he’d left behind.
Millennium (7x04) | Nurse
Would the lights turn off? Would people yell and panic? Would it be a flurry of excitement and confusion?
Would the world end?
Or would it just be a minute later, a new day, another moment in time?
Rush (7x05) | Chastity Raines
Chastity stares sadly down at Tony’s frozen body. She doesn’t want him to die, too. Because the rush is killing her… and she knows she can’t live without it.
The Goldberg Variation (7x06) | Henry Weems
Sometimes he wishes he’d died in that plane crash. After all, there’s only so much good luck a man can take.
Orison (7x07) | Donnie Pfaster
When she was his entirely—body, soul, and the last trembling breath—he would know what it meant to be alive.
The Amazing Maleeni (7x08) | Billy LaBonge
They’re talking, but all LaBonge can focus on is the thrill of watching Cissy Alvarez’s prison-free life collapse like a house of cards.
Signs and Wonders (7x09) | Gracie O’Connor
She was tired. Tired of these men telling her what was best, what life she should have. What life God had in store for her. She was going to be a mother now. She needed to leave their beliefs with them.
Sein und Zeit (7x10) | Kathy Lee Tencate
It didn’t matter that she’d be out in twelve years. It didn’t matter that she still had plenty of days ahead of her. He was torn from her life like pages from a book, and the story didn’t mean anything anymore.
Closure (7x11) | Samantha Mulder
I always believed he’d find me one day.
X-Cops (7x12) | Tara Scully
Bill groaned, “COPS?! Is nothing sacred?”
First Person Shooter (7x13) | Phoebe
She was powerful. Confident. Everything Phoebe wasn’t. She would give her life and share her with the world.
Theef (7x14) | Dr. Robert Wieder
Nan’s burned body flashes in Robert’s eyes. His wife and his father-in-law… both their lives stolen by a man who calls him a thief. Over his dead body will his little girl be next.
En Ami (7x15) | Housekeeper
A scar. Fresh, neat. The mark of his work. Proof of the miracle.
Chimera (7x16) | Ellen Adderly
Maybe it had been her fear of losing everything she had, but something had come over her that night; some powerful force that compelled her to keep her family together. To keep everything perfect.
all things (7x17) | Daniel Waterston
Ah, the elephant in the room. The thing they’d dodged since he laid eyes on her after so many years. It hangs around them like a shroud– dark, erotic. Unspoken.
Brand X (7x18) | Darryl Weaver
They were all the same– Darryl, Scobie, Voss– all reaping the benefits of this very particular brand of cigarettes.
Hollywood A.D. (7x19) | Wayne Federman
INT. COFFIN - CONTINUOUS
Mulder comes closer to Scully, approaching the inevitable. In the enclosed, tight space, he can finally be honest about his feelings, and there’s nothing stopping him.
Fight Club (7x20) | Betty Templeton/Lulu Pfeiffer
I still can’t believe how long it took for the swelling to go down. Every time I looked in the mirror, there she was—glaring back at me. But that’s over. I’m done with her. Done with all of it.
Je Souhaite (7x21) | Jenn
No wonder she’s bitchy.
Requiem (7x22) | Assistant Director Walter Skinner
Skinner had always thought it was just obsession. A brilliant agent with a disposition towards the things that went bump in the night. This was the price of disbelief.
We had so much fun with this season and we hope you enjoyed it too! This project means so much to us and we appreciate all the love and support we’ve received!
There are so many new dynamics and changes in season eight, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we are <3 - @admiralty-xfd, @fridaysat9, @monikafilefan, @gaycrouton

Alright, "Theef" 7x14, we gotta talk about this episode. Honestly, it's one that I remembered nothing about except that the title was familiar and I know I watched it during the show's original run because I was obsessed and never missed an episode. Watching it about 24 years later, now as a physician myself, and boy is it woefully underrated. Take out the Appalachian voodoo, and the story is a timeless moral dilemma, one that physicians and other healthcare workers face on a daily basis. The Hippocratic oath is widely known for its phrase "First do no harm", but is allowing ongoing suffering exactly that - harm? Many of us in modern medicine have seen it first hand - the desire to prolong life in spite of suffering and without regard to quality of life. Scully affirms that she would make the same decisions as Dr. Wieder did, opting to alleviate the suffering of a patient at the end of their life. A death with dignity. But it doesn't mean one isn't left to feel the gravity of that decision, grappling with the thought that the very medications given to lessen pain and suffering might also hasten death, and that one would never really know the truth. These are never decisions made lightly, but they are made with the patient's best interests at heart. To be clear, any such decisions involving end of life care would be made either with the patient themselves, or their next of kin/healthcare proxies if they are unable, unless in emergency situations where there might not be time. The show takes some liberties with the physician decision making, although the context is in an emergency scenario. Nevertheless, some family members and loved ones of the deceased may not agree with the course of action. Although one would hope none would act as brazenly as Orell Peattie, conjuring up violent deaths as revenge via hexcraft and poppets, it certainly does not mean hospitals are violence-free zones. More and more we are seeing disgruntled patients and family members bringing weapons into halls meant for healing and threatening hospital staff. The show isn't one to necessarily offer up solutions to the real-life monsters and dilemmas it reveals through its stories, but rather sets out to cast a light on them and let the audience do some thinking about them. Almost a quarter of a century later this particular one is still relevant. Orell Peattie is obviously wrong for inciting various gruesome deaths, but is he also not a victim? Losing his daughter in an accident, who he was convinced he could save with his Appalachian voodoo. What about Dr. Wieder? He took care of Lynette Peattie on the day of her accident giving her increasing doses of pain medications because she was screaming and had vital signs indicating an extreme level of pain. He felt she was beyond the help of modern medicine and did not want her to suffer. But does that mean his family should suffer the vengeance of Orell Peattie? Both men victims, both men with lost loved ones, and both men perpetrators. Even medical doctor Special Agent Dana Scully was questioning herself by the end. And that's why this is truly a gem of an episode. Deeper than it appears and the real mystery lies firmly in the realm of reality than fantasy.
“there was no malfunction of the machine” sir the screen literally had the word malfunction on it in big red letters💀
is it just me or does the antagonist from theef look exactly like david bowie-
Theef Script
So basically, all that flirting was Gillovny, not the script.
[After Scully agrees it's hex craft]
She heads out the door. Mulder stares after her, thrown.
Final Scene
'Mulder watches her go. Under his breath, appreciatively...'
