# Talk:Emily (The X-Files)

See my question at Talk:Christmas Carol (The X-Files)#MOTW vs. Storyline. Please reply there as well. - FakirNL (talk) 19:03, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

The Plot section is missing a vital point: Mulder and Scully obviously decide that Emily should die. Mulder has stolen some of the green liquid that Calderon has given her an injection of before as part of her treatment, and Mulder suggests using the liquid on her without the involvement of Calderon and his shadowy enterprise, but Scully decides that they can't protect Emily even if she survives, so she turns down Mulder's offer, thus dooming Emily to die. --79.242.222.168 (talk) 09:48, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

While the above may be left a bit vague in the episode itself as Mulder and Scully's decision to let her die even though they could save her only becomes evident "between the lines", so to speak, Scully openly speaks of her regret over this conscious decision a few episodes later in All Souls. So it's official that they let her die even though they could've saved her, but in the plot description here, it reads like Emily's death just happens out of the blue and there was nothing they could do even though they wanted to. --2003:71:4E6A:B469:E461:79B2:5C3B:DF32 (talk) 02:37, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
