Scully, Snakes, and Reincarnation

(a.k.a. the Morgan and Wong episodes.)

Scully's arc is spelled out for her in a flashback from A Christmas Carol-- "There is no wrong choice. Life is... just a path"-- and is reiterated over and over until she finally understands it in All Things.

The dead come back to warn her, the snake marks her as she had marked the snake, and her past (metaphorically... and literally) calls out to her through a record of her mistakes.

It takes nearly seven years (Amor Fati) until this lesson starts to bleed through her walls; and almost eight before she lowers them and fully embraces her path with no regrets (All Things.)
