This is a very interesting little two-parter. I always seem to forget about it after I watch and I think its because rarely is Scully's pseudo-daughter Emily ever mentioned again. Christmas Carol starts off with a very eerie phone call for Scully right as she arrives at her brother's house for Christmas. A woman's voice simply says, "She needs your help!" or something like that. Scully traces the call and begins to follow a trail of clues that lead us to believing first the this little girl is Melissa Scully's daughter and then later to find out that the little girl is special and has been receiving very top secret treatment at a clinic. I think the suspense and mystery in this episode is top of the line for X-Files and the cliff-hanger where we find out that Emily is actually Scully's daughter is great. One of the most memorable cliff-hangers in my opinion. Everything leads up to a point where it is looking like Scully is suddenly going to have a child to look after. Great episode to an exciting two parter. I give the episode a 9 out of 10.
