Episode Report Card Kim: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Spooked
By Kim | Season 1 | Episode 5 | Aired on 10.26.1998
The Frankenstein guy is blathering about himself to Felicity, who is rather drunk. Felicity blurts out, "I carved that pumpkin!" Then she abruptly asks Frankenstein to hold her drink so that she can go to the bathroom and throw up. Elena is dancing with Blair, and Felicity walks right in between them. Julie runs up to Felicity and says that Krakow kissed her and she freaked out. Felicity says that she really needs a bathroom, and Julie tells her to go, because they can talk about it later. Felicity continues to the bathroom, but she opens the wrong door and ends up in a closet or something. She tries the next door, and finds Ben making out with the Pink Power Ranger (who actually looks a lot like Avery, scarily enough). Felicity stares at them for a while, and then turns and leaves.
Outside, Felicity runs down the street, crying. Cut to Felicity crying in her room. Knoll enters and asks whether she's okay. Felicity asks him to go away because she doesn't want anyone to see her like that. Knoll says that she can talk to him, and that he just wants to help. Felicity doesn't think he can help, and then confesses that she saw Ben "kissing the Pink Power Ranger." Knoll doesn't quite know how to respond. Felicity explains that she can't find any solace, and has "never felt quite so lost in every conceivable way before." I'm just impressed that she used a word like "solace" while she was drunk. Knoll tells Felicity that he thinks she needs to "forget about Ben for the moment, and focus on you." Felicity sighs and says that she doesn't think this is helping. Knoll explains that her traumatic experience has left a hovering dark cloud, and made her feel weak and vulnerable, but that she's forgetting who she is, because she is "this really strong and independent and beautiful woman." Knoll assures Felicity that she will be fine, and even great. Felicity leans forward and pukes all over Knoll. Knoll says that it changes his whole attitude about her. Felicity sits up and apologizes. Knoll says it's okay, because he's wearing gloves (as part of his Subway employee costume).
Knoll knocks on Elena's door. She comes out into the hall, being very careful not to let Knoll see inside her room. Also, her hair is a mess, sticking out in all different directions. Knoll starts to apologize, but then interrupts himself to ask if there is someone in Elena's room. Why is it any of his business? Elena says that the Tin Man, whose real name is Blair, is inside. Knoll snickers. Elena says they just hung out and listened to music. Knoll replies, "Just be careful. I heard he doesn't have a heart." Ha! Knoll, bringing the funny. Elena goes back into her room.
