So, all in all what you saw on the screen really happened.

(beat)

Except for the buckteeth.

You have your version of the episode, Shaenon has hers.

Wells’s list of ‘best non-Darin Morgan-penned X-Files episodes’ at #2: http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-321/ He wrote:

‘“Bad Blood” is by far the funniest non-Darin episode, including some
series-standout memorable bits. I’m a sucker for the Rashomon style
of storytelling, because showing “what a character perceives” will
almost always tell you more about him or her than merely showing “what
is”. “Bad Blood” features Scully feeling hungry for weird things —
in this case the stomach contents of her autopsy case — which I
always find hilarious for some reason. It’s also got Mulder playing
with a Magic Fingers machine, singing the theme to Shaft, and
trying to stop a moving RV by grabbing onto the bumper, all of which
he totally would do. Lastly, it includes the most amusing
pronunciation of the word “knawed” I have, to date, heard. Thanks,
Mitch Pileggi.’
