In "Dreamland Parts 1 & 2" Mulder isn't quite himself. In fact, all he's sure about is that his first name is Morris. While out visiting area 51 with Scully for recreation, Mulder and a black ops agent switch bodies due to the effect of a US Military Aircraft using UFO technology. Morrie (the delightful Michael McKean)loves it--he's able to escape his shrewish wife, problematic kids and play FBI agent. He also takes a crack at seducing Scully. Mulder on the other hand has to struggle with the shrewish wife, difficult kids and figure out a way to contact Scully. He needs her help to try and figure out how to reverse the effects of this body snatching and get back his life.
Morrie discovers that Mulder doesn't have much of a life by the way. When he first sees Mulder's apartment ("Where does this guy sleep?") he's horrified and uses Mulder's credit card to purchase a water bed (which plays a part in a future episode as well)and generally get a life. Well written and directed with delightful performances all around "Dreamland Parts 1 & 2" like "The Pine Bluff Variant" and "The Unnatural" makes season six a highlight despite a fair mix of so-so episodes. After this the show would take a sharp decline in quality until the introduction of Robert Patrick during season 8.
