And the winner is: 6x21 "Field Trip"
This is it, folks. Our last episode in the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
xf_is_love 20th anniversary rewatch. With six votes, "Field Trip" was the clear winner in our free-for-all contest. I love it, I nominated it, so I thank you.
This is one of the best standalone episodes of the series. I love how the plot twists and turns, how the point of view shifts from Scully to Mulder and back, how they start sharing each other's hallucinations. I love the twist ending. I even love the fanfiction.
Writers: story by Frank Spotnitz, teleplay by John Shiban and Vince Gilligan.
Director: Kim Manners
Originally aired: May 9, 1999
Synopsis: Mulder and Scully travel to rural North Carolina to investigate the mysterious deaths of Angela and Wallace Schiff. During their investigation, they become trapped underground inside a giant, flesh-eating mushroom. Before being rescued, they begin to have and then share vivid hallucinations.
Most Memorable Quote:
SCULLY: Mulder, this is not reality. This is a hallucination. It has to be. And either I am having it, or you are having it or we are having it together.

the little spy's review/recap
Fanfiction:
Contact High by Penumbra. Summary: "Scully drops by Mulder's apartment one evening and one thing sort of leads to another. Colonization metaphors abound. Mulder's new bed has a cameo." Also at Gossamer.
Bridge by Maria Nicole.
Summary: "The requisite case file story--post Folie a Deux, post Field Trip." We discussed it here atxf_book_club.
