Ah-my apologies! I re-read this story last week when I was uploading it to my del.ici.ous and forgot that part. Hmmmm. Totally different angle on it. Why not that aspect of it all? It makes Mulder a bit more...disturbing somehow. It could be said (not sure if I'm believing it) that he doesn't tell her because he knows/wants something like this to happen? Or what other purpose could he have for keeping that part a secret? Perhaps this "Samantha" is so different from HIS Samantha that he just can't make them seem to be the same person.
