Episode Report Card Maggie: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Party Lines
By Maggie | Season 2 | Episode 18 | Aired on 04.18.2000
Cut to Dean & Deluca where Ben is telling Felicity that he won't be in tomorrow because he has "an internship, a guy on Wall Street, actually." Felicity distractedly says, "That's good." Ben says, "Tell me why I should vote for Greg?" Dial it back a bit, Ben. For someone who doesn't like Greg, you spend a lot of time talking about him. Geez, do you want to marry him? Felicity says, "You're not going to vote for Greg." Ben admits that he isn't but he wants to hear Greg's campaign promises. Felicity's horse is rearing up and she says, "I'm not going to stand here and listen to you mock Greg." Good thing you can't hear me, Felicity. Ben persists in wanting to hear Greg's platform because right now Richard has him with the pizza thing. Felicity snarls, "You would vote pizza-for-president." Ben pushes a bit more and Felicity says that Greg wants to bring the swim team back. Heh. Ben is forced to admit that was a good one. Pam comes up to the counter and Ben tells Felicity that he's going to talk to someone who actually wants to talk to him and Felicity feigns disinterest but she keeps her eye on them. Felicity does her open-mouthed stare as Pam asks Ben to the dance.
At the loft, Sean asks Ben on camera if he's going to the dance. Ben mentions that Pam invited him. Sean asks if Ben is "into" Pam and Ben replies that "she's just a girl." Felicity is back in the booth at Epstein Bar, and Sean wants to know what her best memory of Ben is. Felicity recounts a tale from her cross-country trip with Ben about "a cheesy little motel" they stopped at. As Felicity is telling him what happened when they were getting into bed, Sean interjects, "And then you had sex. This is a really good story." Now, we all know that when they were on the trip they slept together but they didn't sleep together. Anyway, Felicity's story involves finding a giant spider under the bed covers and Ben's attempts to get rid of it. He used a glass and a magazine but somehow the spider got loose and crawled up Ben's arm. According to Felicity, Ben "spazzed out, screaming, dancing. He was such a girl about it." WTF? He was such a girl? Like males never get freaked out about spiders and all females do? Using the word 'girl' as a derogatory term really works my nerves. I'm such a woman about these things. The hotel manager apparently came to their room because he thought someone was being murdered. Felicity recalls that she laughed for two hours and just remembering it makes her start laughing again. Sean wants her to admit that she "still has the hots for Ben." Felicity denies it but Sean keeps badgering her until she declares the interview over. On her way out she gives him the finger, which is conveniently pixilated for the sensitive viewers at home. Sean says, "There goes my PG-15!"
