I have no problem with your scenario ( though I've never seen the movie, by the way, so there's an automatic gap for me).
However, the statement quoted here is contradictory. A "suggestion" is by definition ambiguous, since it can be taken more than one way, as opposed to an out-and-out declaration. As I remember that episode, it was clear that they had slept together in the literal sense. Whether anything else happened before the sleeping began was anything but clear (left deliberately so, no doubt). The sight of Scully adjusting her clothes and fixing her make-up in the mirror is just that: "suggestion". (And it's not as if either of them had been shown lying in bed smoking a cigarette, as in the old days!)
