Mulder: Have you observed any unexplained phenomena in Michelle's presence?
Dr. Braun: Unexplained phenomena?
Mulder: Inordinate physical strength, psychic ability, telekinesis.
Dr. Braun: You're joking of course.

No, Mulder is not joking. Although one could be hard pressed to tell just by looking at him. I'm surprised that Mulder doesn't get more outright laughter when he makes some of his suggestions.
Not bothering to tell Scully that he'd abruptly decided to go elsewhere until it was time to go. To add insult to injury he takes the car leaving Scully to bum a ride in a part of New York State which, despite the show of a bus in the episode, isn't exactly a place where one would want to have to rely on mass transit.
Questioning the doctor's treatment of Michelle. As distasteful as the thought of giving Thorazine to an eight year old is, making one's distaste very obvious, especially when trying to get cooperation from the caregivers of said eight year old is not a good idea.
At the police station, Mulder tells Mrs. Bishop that they don't suspect Michelle, presumably because she's just an eight year old girl, despite the fact that she'd been present at two suspicious deaths. Did he learn nothing from his encounter with the Eves?
Rolling his eyes at Scully. It's not Scully's fault that she was right about not being able to take anything to court assuming that they ever got Mrs. Bishops' permission to put Michelle under hypnosis again. Besides which it was just plain childish.
