The (actual) Hospital. Scully storms inside the ER, her red hair flying. The nurse on duty is like, "Hey Dana! How's that guy you work with who was in a coma last week?" And the orderly is all, "Danes! Give your boss my best. He's recovered from almost dying from those weird remote-controlled things, right?" And a geneticist goes, "Dude! It's the Scullster! How's your weird-ass kid? We never did find those DNA test results, babe -- sorry!" And a physical therapist is all, "DKS! Wazzup? How's that tall guy who knocked you up? We haven't seen him here in months and it used to be such a nice, regular thing! Give him my best!" And a nearby Candy-Striper is like, "Hey, there, Dr. Scully! I'm so glad you're not in jail for allegedly killing that cult member here last week!" And the ER's chief resident is all, "Ms. Scully! Your hair is so much prettier than when you when here dying from inoperable nose cancer!" And then Mark Greene walks by and says, "Hey, Agent Scully," and she kicks him in the shins. Everyone hates Mark Greene. Eventually, Scully finds Doggett on a sofa looking wan and sad. "Hell of a thing to wake up to, huh?" he asks, looking up at her. Scully sits down beside him and pats his leg. "We stopped after work. She had a beer," Doggett explains. "Well, the man who hit her had fifteen," Scully says. I can not believe that Scully's left the Crown Prince alone in the middle of the night. I hope to God Skinner's watching him, and not the totally ineffectual Ma Scully, or we're all going to find ourselves in another game of Capture the Baby. Doggett sadly looks at his shoes. "Don't do this to yourself, John," Scully advises.

Moronica's room. Scully examines her chart while Doggett looks furrowed and sad. Scully shakes her head. "It's true, John. She's gone," she says. "I don't accept that," Doggett says, pointing out that Moronica's breathing on her own, and her heart's beating. "There's got to be hope," he says. Scully puts down the chart. "Brain death is indeed death, John," she tells him. "Unless you're Mulder. Or me. Or you. Or Skinner. Or Krycek. Or CSM." Staring. "I'm sorry," Scully finally whispers. The camera pulls back to reveal Moronica standing behind the two of them. But she's not really. Because she's not really there. She's in the Notspital...
