By Maggie | Season 2 | Episode 1 | Aired on 09.25.1999
Then we're back to Felicity sitting on the bed in the half-light telling Sally that it might not be all that bad living with Meghan and being co-R.A.s, and that they have forty-six advisees, and that she is nervous. Next we see Felicity and Meghan's first meeting with their advisees. For some reason, both Felicity and Meghan are wearing their hair up, I guess, in an effort to look more advisorly. They stand in front of a room full of freshpeople who look more or less what first-year university students look like, or at least Hollywood's perception of first-year students. While Felicity tells them the cafeteria's operating hours and those of the student union, Meghan pours cold water on Felicity's earnestness by telling them that the food sucks. When Felicity tries to play it off, Meghan contradicts her by emphasizing that the food is the worst and all the students laugh. A young woman in the back asks, " Does Health Services fill prescriptions?" Felicity answers yes, then Meghan asks, "What kind of prescription? What's wrong with you?" For some insane reason, the young woman responds, "Birth control." Yeah, that's a great way to get to know the people living on your floor, by telling them that you need to get your birth control prescription filled. However, it gives Meghan an opportunity to tell the student not go to Felicity for contraceptive advice because Felicity has only had sex once, and to stay away from Health Services. She goes on to say, "Oh, and the guy she had sex with, she barely even knew." All the while Felicity is glaring and hissing at her. Meghan says that when she went to Health Services last year to get a refill of "Zomig for migraines, because I was living with [Felicity], they gave me 20 Zyprexa, which is an anti-psychotic." Felicity finally fights back and states that that might not have been a mistake, then she bulls ahead and tells the student to check it out for herself. Felicity wraps up the meeting with an invitation to "come talk to us at any time" and wishes them all a great year. Meghan and Felicity leave the room and Meghan says that she thinks that the meeting went pretty well. Felicity says, "You just announced my sexual history to a group of strangers!" and Meghan replies, "Is one a history? And hey, I have news for you, no one cares." Soon they are joined by a freshman who introduces himself as Brian Burke who tells them that they "run an exceptional meeting" and he asks if what Meghan said about Felicity's one sexual experience is true.Felicity firmly tells him that it is none of his business but Brian counters that he was not the one who brought it up, and he goes on to ask if advisees can get involved with their advisors. Felicity quickly answers no, but Meghan butts in with "Well, it didn't stop her last year." Felicity tells Meghan that their living together is not going to work and that she is going to the housing office to ask for a transfer. Brian then says that he is going to have to transfer and that Felicity should think of him for once. To that Felicity asks incredulously, "Who are you?!?" Brian outstretches his hand and says, "People call me Burkey." Felicity excuses herself and walks away. "Burkey" admires her departure and asks Meghan if Felicity is "always this moody."
