DESCRIPTION
File 10: Emily is an X-Files VHS tape released in 1997, which contains two episodes from season 5: Christmas Carol and Emily.
The The X-Files episodes "Christmas Carol" (Season 5, Episode 6) and "Emily" (Season 5, Episode 7) form a two-part storyline that deeply explores Agent Dana Scully's personal life and the emotional and mysterious circumstances surrounding a young girl named Emily. The story reveals shocking truths about Scully's past and her connection to a larger conspiracy.
"Christmas Carol" Synopsis
In "Christmas Carol," FBI Agent Dana Scully returns to her hometown of San Diego for the Christmas holidays, where she is haunted by memories of her sister Melissa, who was murdered two years earlier. Scully receives an anonymous phone call that seems to be from Melissa, directing her to investigate the case of a recently deceased woman, Roberta Sim, who has mysteriously committed suicide. When Scully arrives at the scene, she encounters Roberta's young daughter, Emily, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Scully as a child.
As Scully digs deeper, she discovers unsettling details about Emily's background, including the fact that Emily was adopted and that her biological parents are unknown. Driven by a sense of responsibility and a growing emotional connection to the child, Scully orders a DNA test, only to learn a shocking truth: Emily is biologically her daughter. This revelation leaves Scully reeling, as she grapples with the implications of how Emily could possibly be her child, given her history of infertility following her abduction.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with Scully determined to uncover the truth behind Emily's origins and the mysterious circumstances surrounding her birth.
"Emily" Synopsis
"Emily" continues the story, as Scully learns more about the dark and disturbing forces at play in Emily's life. Scully fights to gain custody of Emily, despite resistance from both the government and the adoption agency, which seem intent on keeping Emily's true origins hidden. As Scully and Mulder investigate further, they uncover evidence that Emily was conceived through a secret government project involving alien DNA and human experimentation, connected to Scully's own abduction.
Emily's health begins to deteriorate rapidly, and it becomes clear that she is suffering from a mysterious illness linked to her unnatural origins. Scully struggles with the realization that Emily's condition is beyond medical science's ability to treat, and that her only chance for survival may lie with the very people who created her.
The episode reaches its emotional climax as Scully is forced to confront the painful reality that Emily cannot be saved. Despite her best efforts, Emily dies, leaving Scully devastated and heartbroken. The final moments of the episode depict Scully at Emily's grave, mourning the loss of the daughter she barely had a chance to know.
These episodes are among the most emotionally charged in The X-Files series, revealing significant and painful details about Scully's past while highlighting the sinister implications of the conspiracy that has long been a central theme in the series. The story of "Christmas Carol" and "Emily" leaves a lasting impact on Scully and deepens the overall mythology of the show.
