"Will you be joining us Dana?" Reyes asked Scully as she entered the Mulders' residence behind Mulder. Mulder lead Agent Reyes in as Scully and Reyes shared a hug. "I'd love to, Monica, but I'm kind of busy trying to get a good nights' sleep," she replied with a grin. Reyes smiled back. "I really think you should join us, Dana," she said. "Why?" Scully asked as they all sat on the sofa together. "Well, you're a believer, right? You believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace?" Reyes asked her friend.
Scully shared a look with Mulder, unsure of how to best answer the question. She touched her crucifix necklace as she thought of what to say. "Yes," she said slowly. "I am a believer in the Lord, why do you ask, Agent Reyes?" She asked. Reyes took a deep breath. "Well, the removal of this ghost requires faith and commitment on your part to the Lord. When you believe in the Lord you have authority over this ghost. You know what I mean, right, Mulder?" Reyes asked him.
Mulder nodded. "Yeah, I know. What do you think, Dana?" He asked his wife. Scully nodded slowly. "OK. Why do we have to... commit?" She asked. "Well, when you commit you will always have the ghost out of your home. Always, as long as you believe in God, the ghost will be gone," she said. "OK," Scully said again. "I believe in the Easter story, the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ," Scully said. Reyes nodded. "Good. That's great, Dana. I think we're ready," she said to both Mulder and Scully. "Please join us, Dana. The prayers will work more with you being involved, as you do live here, too," she said.
Scully gestured to Mulder. "Huh, I'm sorry Agent Reyes, but please excuse us. I need to have a word with Mulder in the kitchen. Would you like tea or coffee?" She asked. Reyes nodded and smiled. "That's okay. I'd like a coffee, please," she replied, and Scully nodded before leading Mulder into the kitchen.
"Mulder, what are we doing?" She asked him quietly as she put the kettle on. "We're getting rid of the ghost," Mulder replied simply. Scully sighed. "You said you wouldn't involve me, Mulder," she reminded him. "Yes, I know, Dana, and I'm sorry. But all you've got to do is show your faith, and that's what you've done throughout your life, no matter what, haven't you?" He asked. Scully thought for a moment as she took out the cups and coffee jar from the cupboard. "I need you to pray with me. Dana, I can't do this without you. Once it's done, it's done, and you can carry on believing in God," Mulder said. "Maybe this will strengthen your belief," he added. "How about you then, Mulder?" Scully asked. "Do you believe in the Lord?" She asked him. "I believe in God," Mulder said slowly as he thought about her question. "I'm not sure about Christ, as you know, my ancestors were Jewish," he pointed out. "But I believe in God, Dana. God is eternal. Is that what you meant, Dana?" He asked her.
Finally, Scully nodded. "OK, Mulder," she relented, "I'll do it with you. We'll get rid of the monster together," she said. Mulder smiled and kissed her gently. "Thank you, Dana," he said. "I know things will be okay if we stick together through this," he told her. He then helped Scully bring the tea and coffee in the living room where Agent Reyes was sitting patiently on the sofa, looking through her handbag. "Hey, here's your coffee, Monica," Scully said as she handed Reyes her cup before sitting on the sofa next to her. Reyes smiled in appreciation. "Thanks, Dana, Mulder," she said, acknowledging both of them. "OK, we've decided we're both going to do it," Mulder told Reyes, and Reyes smiled. "You sure you're okay with this, Dana?" She asked her. "There's no pressure if you don't, but it would work for sure if you do participate, and when both of you commit it would stop the ghost coming back. If you stop committing, the ghost will come back seven times stronger, so you need to show your faith if you want the ghost banished forever," Reyes warned them.
Scully nodded in determination. "I'll do it, Monica," she told her friend. "I am a Christian through and through, and I'll help Mulder show it," she said. Reyes nodded and Mulder smiled at Dana. "Let's do this," he said to Reyes.
