Apparently, he would. Cut to Charlie's Den Of Inequity. He opens the door and does that Patented Charlie Leans Across The Doorjamb So As To Best Demonstrate Chad Michael Murray's Freakishly Long Torso Thing. "Jen Lindley! How you been?" he asks ungrammatically. "Busy," Jen chirps. "Just trying to wrap my head around this Lemon Diet Coke phenomenon." Me, too. As far as I'm concerned, it tastes like Lemon Pledge. Charlie drunkenly slurs something about how Jen can't live without him, and I'm pretty sure she refutes this, but I can't quite hear the dialogue because I'm too busy wondering aloud why Chad Michael Murray can't enunciate properly, for sweet Christ's sake. Jen does need a favor, she says. Charlie's not very enthused. "You get to make out with a really hot girl," Jen offers. "Okay, step into my office," Charlie says, and lets Jen into the bathroom at Al's. I mean, "into his room." Seriously, though, does anyone other than Fonzie use the phrase "step into my office," when not actually talking about their literal office? Okay, I do it at work sometimes, but only because "step into my cube" sounds so sad.
Worthington. The dorm. "The guy is unbelievable!" Joey says, stomping inside and flinging her bag on the bed. "I know!" Audrey squeals. She can't believe "he couldn't remember her first name!" She's forgotten last names, she admits, but first names? Gawd! "Who?" Joey asks. Audrey's mouth is wide open. "What? Wait. Who are you talking about?" Audrey asks. "[Creepy]!" Joey says. Audrey's all, oh. Joey yammers that she was all ready to give Creepy her little speech, but she just froze right up. "I couldn't even remember who I am," she says. "You're Joey Potter!" Audrey reminds her. Joey nods furiously and insists that she refuses to become a groupie! To be reduced to a babbling idiot at the mere mention of Creepy's name! Audrey's like, too late, baby. "But it's not a bad thing." Joey thinks it is a bad thing (and so do I). And she's going to drop his class. Should she drop his class? "Are you asking me or are you just having a soliloquy, here?" Audrey asks. Joey says that she doesn't want to spend the rest of the year pining over someone she can't have. "I've been there, and it's excruciating," she explains. "Breathe!" Audrey instructs, before asking Joey when she last felt "as completely and totally alive as [she] does right now." Joey smiles blissfully. Oh, Audrey. Don't be an enabler. The girls collapse into giggles. "Who were you talking about?" Joey finally asks. Audrey just groans and falls back onto the bed.
