2x03 Blood	Book: X-Files #7 ('95): Fear	Blood Drive sign indicates 9/30 (despite that it says Saturday) Other dates (computer screen and bag of evidence) indicating the 12th of unknown month should be ignored.

2x04 Sleepless		Discharge form (UA) indicates Cole's release date as 7/26/94 which should be ignored as these events have officially been moved to October (per the Official Guide). Krycek and X appear.	10/5/94 – 10/6/94	N
2x05 Duane Barry (pt. 1)		Internal dates of 8/7/94-8/8/94 must be ignored as The Official Guide has changed them to October to accommodate a month-long abduction (shortened from three).	10/7/94 – 10/8/94	X
2x06 Ascension (pt. 2)		Date of 8/8/94 should be ignored to accommodate the new conception of a month-long abduction (see above). Scully is abducted. The X-Files are re-opened.	10/8/94 – 10/11/94	X

2x13 Irresistible		Scully dates an autopsy Monday 11/14/94 (contradictory to Firewalker (2x09) even if they were let out of quarantine early). Given her state of mind during this episode, a mistake is likely. Dates based on the assumption she was off by one week.	11/18/94 – 11/22/94	K
Novel: Ground Zero	Comic: Ground Zero #1-4	Novel provides days. Comic adaptation provides month (poster for anti-nukes rally). Dates based on open 2 week period around November.	11/22/94 – 12/6/94	E/G
