when did scully fall in love with mulder?
season six
towards the end of the series, her previously platonic friendship with partner fox mulder developed into a romantic relationship. when mulder was injured in a boat crash, he awakened in a hospital and told scully that he loved her. in the season six episode "how the ghosts stole christmas", a ghost that seems to know the inner workings of scully's mind suggests that her source of intimacy for mulder comes from her desire to always prove him wrong. by the end of the sixth season, mulder and scully were increasingly shown enjoying more light-hearted activities together, such as practicing baseball, using fbi funds for a "night out" during a movie premiere, and watching a movie at mulder's apartment. in the season seven episode "all things", scully is shown getting dressed in mulder's bathroom, while mulder sleeps, apparently naked, in the bedroom. in "trust no 1" a man reveals to scully that he works for a "new" syndicate like-organization, and his job requires him and a few other colleagues to spy on her around the clock. due to this he knows intimate details of scully's personal life, right down to her "natural hair color" (titian, as later confirmed by chris carter). it is suggested by this man that scully ultimately initiated a sexual relationship with mulder, as he remarked that he was very surprised when she invited mulder "into her bed". the last scene of the series finale featured mulder and scully holding each other on a bed, facing an uncertain future together in love.

mulder telephones scully and tries to explain that he's the real mulder. scully does not believe him and asks fletcher—in mulder's body—to pick up and listen to the conversation. fletcher decides they should immediately report this incident, which further confuses scully. she goes to mulder’s apartment (where fletcher is having a tryst with kersh's assistant) and tells fletcher that they traced the telephone call to a pay phone near area 51 and she suspects it is mulder's informant. fletcher is indifferent to this news and scully yells at him, sensing that his behavior is very strange and his lack of concern for the x-files is completely out of character. scully decides to investigate, and drives through the desert towards area 51. she stops at a burned out gas station and finds a penny and a dime merged. later, when scully arrives at fletcher's house, mulder tries desperately to convince scully that he is really mulder. scully remains skeptical and thinks that any information mulder describes could be obtained in other ways. mulder tells scully that he will bring proof of the defect of the ufo and the resultant problems that night, but fletcher, having eavesdropped on the conversation, calls his old office posing as mulder to inform them of the source of the leak—mulder posing as fletcher. military police arrive at the appointed hour, and mulder is dragged away, kicking and screaming, desperately trying to convince scully. mulder asks if he would turn in an informant to the authorities in this manner as he is carried away, and scully begins to realize that mulder may be telling the truth.
