There are some good pictures of Paper Hearts but for some of the other old eps it's hard to find any good ones.

Yes the slapping scene was in Demons. Why did she react so strongly? I think there was a lot more we could learn about Mulder's mom but as often is the case with this show we don't see as much of the supporting characters as we should.

All I remember in Biogeness was the video of her talking to CSM which I thought looked suspicious. And what about the implications in Talitha Cumi that they had had an affair? Will we ever know the truth?

Maybe she isn't as bad as I think but it's hard to say because we just aren't given enough information. I don't deny that she loves him. I'm sure she does. But she made some bad decisions and should have owned up to them at some point. But I don't think she should have kept things from Mulder. For instance we know she knows more about the conspiracy because she knew about the stiletto and its secret hiding place. Mulder was led to believe things that caused him a lot of pain and guilt and for that I'll never be a Teena fan unless we get some explanations and there are some darn good reasons given for her actions. Maybe when he was a little boy she felt she needed to protect him but when he was a grown man she should have told him the truth. What does it say that Mulder had to hear the story from the CSM instead of his mom? Maybe she doesn't know everything but she knew about the choice and giving up one of her kids. I don'r blame her for that but I blame her for hurting her son by not telling him.
