Episode Report Card Maggie: C- | 3 USERS: B YOU GRADE IT I'm Going to Kansas City -- Kansas City, Here I Come
By Maggie | Season 3 | Episode 17 | Aired on 05.22.2001
Back in Dr. Pavone's office, Felicity confesses that she didn't tell Ben that Knoll kissed her. Dr. Pavone thinks that's "interesting." Felicity whines, "You're the one who said that kindness was more important that honesty." Dr. Pavone quickly points out that she wasn't making a judgment, and asks Felicity why she didn't tell Ben. Felicity maintains that it was because the kiss didn't mean anything, just like it didn't mean anything when Avery kissed Ben. She says that knowing about Avery and Ben's kiss didn't make her "feel any better"; besides, if Ben knew, he'd "hate Knoll forever." As opposed to his current plan to hate Knoll for the foreseeable future. Dr. Pavone wonders why it would matter if Ben hated Knoll forever since Knoll is no longer in her life. Felicity stammers that she's not ready to believe that her friendship with Knoll is over.
Knoll opens the door of the loft to find Ruby "Tuesday" Reboundgirl and her daughter, Eva "You're Not Havin' My Baby" Wadesdottir. Knoll seems barely animated, and when Ruby kisses him a little too long for it to be a "just friends" greeting, Knoll's eyes grow wide. After the kiss is over, he looks like he might need a dose of salts. Inside the loft, Knoll gets two bottles of water out of the fridge and marvels over how big Eva is. Ruby states that she's in the "eighty-fifth percentile." Knoll says, "Wow," but then has to ask what the eighty-fifth percentile means. Ruby gives a brief explanation of the infant growth chart and mentions that Eva "was so good on the flight." Knoll attributes Eva's health to Ruby's being a good mother, and declares that he can't believe she is a mother. Ruby agrees that it's hard to fathom. Knoll thanks her for coming; she says that she's been wanting to come for a long time, and that his graduation "was the perfect excuse." He smiles weakly and says she looks "great." She talks about how hard mothering is, but asserts that she has no regrets. Eva gurgles a bit. Knoll asks whether she was able to work things out with Wade. She says they tried but that they were "not meant to be." She asks, "How 'bout you? How's everyone?" As he starts to answer, Felicity comes in and rushes to hug Ruby. As Felicity gushes over the baby, Knoll is all shifty-eyed and still looks like he needs those salts, or perhaps some castor oil.
Elena "Looks Are Not Important" Tyler and DeForrest "For the Trees" Reboundboy walk off the elevator in the girls' building. He's carrying a large pink stuffed rabbit. She wonders, "Who gets on a roller coaster five times in row?" DeForrest announces, "A real man," and hands her the rabbit. They both stop dead in their tracks when they see Tracy "Don't Mess With A Missionary Man" Formervirgin loitering outside Elena's door. Elena asks what he's doing, and Tracy stands there stammering and shifty-eyed. The men in this show definitely need more fibre in their diets. Tracy says he's there to deliver an envelope. Elena asks him what it is; he hands it to her and tells her to read it. Tracy greets DeForrest, "What's up man?" They shake hands, and Elena apologizes for not introducing Tracy sooner. DeForrest says, "Yeah, what's happenin', man." Tracy looks at his shoes and says, "It's good to see you again." I guess he's directing that to Elena because I assume that he sees his feet on a regular basis. I mean, it's like he has to strain to his feet over a fat suit, like DeForrest. He mumbles, "It's nice meeting you, man" to DeForrest, then heads for the elevator. Elena glares at him over her shoulder as she unlocks the door.
