We shouldn't be assuming that just because it's a written story, every decision will make sense - that would actually make it unrealistic. People often make decisions that don't make sense, especially in moments of desperation. So it doesn't surprise me that Scully would freak out and shoot Michael.

I remembered the blood being near her head, but that makes more sense anyway. Thanks!

I hope not, this season has way too much on this plate already. It almost looks like they forgot they only have 10 episodes and wrote for the 13 episode format instead. There are way too many threads to close.
