Episode Report Card Maggie: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT The Christening
By Maggie | Season 3 | Episode 1 | Aired on 10.03.2000
Elena exclaims to Sean's camera that she's angry at Knoll and doesn't care where he is, though she admits to being worried about him.
At a pizza place, Felicity is shocked to discover from Sean that no one -- not even Richard -- has heard from Knoll.
Julie says on-camera that she was in Maine all summer and she didn't hear from Knoll even though she expected to get an email or two.
At the loft, Sean creates a "Noel's Missing" graphic on his G4 and shows it to Felicity. As she's explaining why she doesn't like it, Ben comes through the door. They jump into each other's arms and Sean leaves the room. Felicity immediately tells him about the apartment and before she can finish delivering her sales pitch, Ben agrees to move in with her.
At the dorm apartment, Julie and Elena help Meghan carry in a trunk. Meghan is moving in after all and she stumbles to thank them for allowing her to do so only because Sean put them up to it.
Ben and Felicity arrive at the apartment in Brooklyn to check it out in the light of day. The bathtub is sitting in the middle of the living room near the windows, which are either frosted, or just really dirty. Mitchell's discarded furniture is littering the place. It actually looks pretty small for a television show apartment. Felicity starts enthusing about its greatness as soon as they cross the threshold. Ben isn't as thrilled about the place but he doesn't say anything and Felicity is too wrapped up in her little romantic drama to notice.
In an interview with Sean on the street, Ben describes the apartment as a "hell hole." Cut to Felicity saying that it needs to be cleaned. The action goes back and forth between them, with Ben dissing the place and Felicity kvelling over it. Felicity asks Sean if Ben loves the apartment. Sean says Ben does, right before cutting to a scene in which Ben states that he hates the place.

Richard is now riding in a cab and being interviewed by Sean. He's still obsessing over Knoll's whereabouts, and vows to find him. Yeah, whether he wants to be found or not. ["Or whether we, the viewing audience, want him to be found." -- Wing Chun]
