Emmy-nominated "Memento Mori" (4.14, 1997) (co-written by Chris Carter, Frank Spotnitz, Vince Gilligan and John Shiban) This highly dramatic episode opens with an angst filled prologue by Agent Dana Scully. Her battle against this mysterious "cancer" is described in many emotional vignettes throughout the episode. Mulder's nonacceptance of the possibility of Scully dying is the driving force, because he'll basically go to any length to find out what's really wrong with her. The Ciggarrette Smoking man is here for the ride and Mulder is desperately trying to get information from him with the aid of Skinner. Here to help Mulder in the tight situations are the Lone Gunmen who provide a few lighter moments. Mulder has to make an extremely shady deal to acquire the cure for Scully. Her mother and brother are present for her support and their frustration with the situation is apparent, especially her brothers ideas of Mulder. Scully is a mere shell of herself towards the end of the episode, which the viewer can sympathize with. A great episode, not to miss.
