Episode Report Card Kim: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Family Affairs
By Kim | Season 2 | Episode 8 | Aired on 11.20.1999
Previously, on Felicity: Ben tells Sean that his new paramour is married. Maggie tells Ben she wants to have an affair with him. David tells Felicity he wants a relationship with her. Elena searches high and low for a storyline of her own.
Felicity is on the phone in her room when David knocks on the door. He blew off work to see her, which might be romantic, but also strikes me as irresponsible. But I'm anal like that. Felicity is trying to leave a message for her parents, because she doesn't know where they are. And in Felicity's world, where it's all about her, it's impossible for her parents to leave the house without telling her, I guess. She tells David she thinks her parents are mad at her for not coming home for Thanksgiving, and that she told them she has too much classwork. They don't believe her, probably because no one says "classwork." David asks her if she does have work to do, and Felicity admits that she really doesn't. David asks if she has plans for Thanksgiving, and says, "If you want, we could hang out at my place, get some frozen turkey dinners and have a non-crazy, pressure-free Thanksgiving." Felicity kisses him and they lie down on her bed, revealing her product-placed iBook on the desk. My boyfriend asks me when this show started being sponsored by Apple, since that's the second obvious product placement in two minutes. Felicity tells David to wait a second and she goes and sticks a Post-It on the door, and then returns and prepares to get naked. Predictably, Meghan walks in and tries to tell Felicity something, but Felicity is too busy being outraged that Meghan didn't adhere to the Post-It rule of not barging in. I have to say, that is very college-esque. Every set of roommates has a sign that means "Get lost because I'm getting some." One of my neighbors used to draw a smiley face on the whiteboard on her door, which cracked me up. Anyway, Meghan says, "You finally get a little and now you're like some freaky sexaholic." Felicity can't believe Meghan called her a freak and David tries to calm Felicity down. Meghan says she barged in as "a favor, nympho," and was planning on telling her about what is in the lobby, but since Felicity is being a bitch, she'll let her find out for herself. Cue the knock at the door and enter Felicity's parents.
Felicity is making a tape to Sally in the half-light, as usual. She spends less time in the daylight than Angel, and he's a vampire. Felicity explains that although she loves her parents, she wants them to go home. She's not ready to share that she cut her hair, dropped pre-med and is sleeping with a photographer.
