It′s in your own mind

3x23: Wetwired

Mulder and Scully investigate a series of murders committed by ordinary citizens who report hallucinating images that trigger the violence.

Delusions are being caused by a hidden signal being passed through television, via a secret device in cable box

Scully watches the TV tapes all night, paranoia and delusions kick in

Scully's mom stands in front of Mulder when Scully is freaking out and aiming her gun at him

The signal makes you see your "worst fear", so Scully's worst fear is that Mulder would betray her!! 😭

We learn that Mulder is red/green colorblind, and that made him unaffected by the signal

X tells Mulder "he failed" because he took too long to find evidence, while he was looking for Scully

Score: 10/10

Watch it? Yes!! I personally love this one, but I should also mention that I'm a huge sucker for episodes where Scully is off the rails and/or vulnerable in any way. The "case" itself is just a better version of Blood from Season 2.

I just watched thirty-six hours of Bernard Shaw and Bobbie Batista, I'm about ready to kill somebody too.

the thing about maggie scully in wetwired is she remember's scully's reaction when she thought mulder was dead and how everything she held true started to fall apart without him and everything she did was wrong if mulder was dead. maggie remembers when scully was missing and mulder was a pillar of strength for her who never gave up on scully even as he so clearly couldn't hold it together. he asked about scully's cross and tried to give it to maggie but she returned it to him and he wore it around his neck. she remembers him in the hospital, screaming at doctors, desperately trying to keep her alive despite signing her living will, the way he sat at her bedside and showed up with a silly video tape & returned her necklace to her. she remembers what scully said to him: "i had the strength of your beliefs."

so when scully comes to her house after mulder told her that scully's gone missing & they aren't exactly sure what happened, and scully is ranting to her about mulder deceiving her and abducting her and putting a chip in her neck — she tried to deal with it on her own, talk her daughter down until mulder wouldn't let her do it alone. she stands in front of mulder to stop her daughter who she knows is not in her right mind. she's protecting mulder, but so much more than that she's protecting scully, the only daughter she has left who rarely turns to her mother for anything, who keeps her own counsel and only came to her twice in the last year. both times because of mulder. maggie scully is under no illusions of what's between her daughter & mulder, and she knows how important scully's job & partnership are to her regardless. maggie can imagine how the weight of killing or hurting mulder would destroy scully. she already shot him to protect him, and i think that was incredibly hard for her to do.

i think maggie has a tough time connecting to & understanding scully, but mulder isn't one of those things (well, not completely lol)
