Episode Report Card Kim: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Assassins
By Kim | Season 1 | Episode 17 | Aired on 04.19.1999
In her room, Felicity listens to Noel's tape. Elena stands up and shuts it off, telling Felicity that she can't let a mix tape make her go soft. Felicity thinks that it might not be as bad as it seems. Elena points out that Noel's hanging out with Hannah and telling Felicity that he's confused is "bad stuff." Felicity says that Noel keeps apologizing, and she feels awful. Elena points out that Noel was the one hanging out with someone else, not Felicity. Felicity doesn't say anything. Elena tells Felicity that she should go shoot her target, Richard, to get her mind off things. There's a knock at the door, and Elena reminds Felicity not to answer it, because the game started five minutes ago. A guy calls out that he has a delivery for Felicity. Elena tells the guy to leave the package by the door. Meghan walks in the other door. There's another door? Elena immediately pivots, gun drawn, and aims at Meghan. Meghan asks if they are deaf, because the delivery guy just left some hideous flowers outside their door. Elena looks confused and opens the door. Wow, those flowers are hideous. Elena hands Felicity the card. Felicity says she can't live like this, and has to talk to Noel. She rushes out of the room. Elena asks Meghan who her target is. Meghan picks up the envelope and says that it's some girl named Elena Tyler. Elena stiffens. Meghan asks who the hell that is. Elena says she has no idea, and runs out of the room.
Felicity knocks on Noel's door and asks if they can talk. Noel lets her in and apologizes some more. Felicity asks him to stop because she needs to tell him something. Noel apologizes some more. Felicity says she can't take all of the apologies and tapes and flowers. Noel says he didn't send her any flowers. Oops. Felicity slowly opens the envelope. Noel takes it from her and asks, "Who's [Simon]?" Felicity says that's what she came to talk to him about. She explains that last night, she was with someone. Noel looks angry. Felicity continues by saying, "And, I...I slept with him." Noel turns and walks out. Classy move by Simon with the flowers, though.
Noel sits in class, totally not listening. Of course, the teacher calls on him. Noel says that he needs to leave, and walks out of the classroom mumbling about emotional turmoil. Yikes.
Felicity walks into the studio and finds Simon there. She walks up to him and thanks him for the flowers. Felicity hesitantly explains that last night probably shouldn't have happened, because she has a guy in her life. Simon Rex says he gets it, which I seriously doubt. Simon says Felicity was going through a rough spot in her relationship, and Simon was a break, so that she could feel better. Felicity starts to say she's not like that, but Simon tells her it's cool. He adds that if it doesn't work out between Felicity and Noel, she should let Simon know. It's a good thing they didn't write Simon's part so that he actually showed emotion in this scene, because I don't think he's capable of that. Felicity leaves.
