Answer: no

Eddie leaned in and their lips were about to touch when Mulder burst through the door to Scully's apartment. Mulder stopped dead in his tracks, shocked by the image of himself about to lock lips with Scully. Scully was similarly shocked, seeing two of Mulder.

When she realized that the Mulder on her couch wasn't really Mulder, she pushed him away and jumped up. Dejected, Eddie morphed back into himself and shrugged at Scully's expression.

Answer: Superstar!

Mulder asked what was with the hat, and he explained, "My court-appointed therapist makes me wear it. She says it's meant to bolster my self-esteem." When Mulder asked if it was working, Eddie confessed, "Not really. The other inmates just beat me up and take it from me. Which would be okay except that every week she brings me a new hat." Eddie then complained that he was being given a muscle relaxant that prevented him from making faces the way he used to.

Answer: a loser

Mulder wanted to get down to business and asked what Eddie had wanted to talk about. Eddie replied, "I just think it's funny. I was born a loser, but you're one by choice." When Mulder asked what he'd based that "astute assessment" on, Eddie replied simply, "Experience." When Mulder rejoined Scully in the hallway after the interview, she said, "I don't imagine you need to be told this Mulder, but you're not a loser." Mulder didn't seem comforted by her reassurance and reminded her, "Yeah, but I'm no Eddie Van Blundht either. Am I?" Mulder seemed pretty dejected, thinking about what Eddie had been able to do when Scully thought he was Mulder!
