He asks her on a date for the same night. She refuses, pretending she has to leave for D.C, but after a short conversation with a stupid Mulder (sorry, I actually had to mention it !), she calls Ed back and tells him that she'd finally like to have dinner with him.
They finally end up in a bar, and talk about themselves, their feelings... Scully tells Ed that sometimes, she has to change the way she usually acts. Then she asks him to show her his tattoo. He answers : "Why don't you get your own ?".
He needn't ask twice : Scully and him immediatly go to Ed's tattoo parlor, where she gets the "Millennium Tattoo".
When she drives Ed back to his appartment, he suggests she'd stay there because of a snow storm. Scully accepts, and then...we don't know what happened. The morning after, Scully wakes up in Mulder's (oops, typo !) Ed's bed, wearing his shirt. I think they had sex that night, but I'm probably the only one !
Anyways, whether they did the "wild thing" or not doesn't change the end of the story : because of the ergot used to make the red of his tattoo, Ed has hallucinations, and a voice in his head (which he thinks is his tattoo's) orders him to kill Scully. Instead, he burns his arm.
End of the story. Scully goes back to the bureau, and tries to talk with Mulder, but at usually, he doesn't listen.
