Episode Report Card Kim: A+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Felicity Was Here
By Kim | Season 1 | Episode 22 | Aired on 05.24.1999
Julie sits in the window seat in her room. Felicity walks in and Julie gives her the bitchiest look that every bitched. I mean, she has every right to be upset, but I hate her, so I'm going to pretend she's the one who sucks in this scenario. Because she sucks in every other scenario. Plus, if she really overheard the whole conversation, she would know that Felicity was trying to do the right thing, at least a little bit. Felicity apologizes that Julie heard the conversation, and admits that she should have told Julie everything up front. Julie says that would've been hard, and asks how you tell someone that you're trying to steal her boyfriend. Felicity insists that she wasn't. Julie says she feels stupid because she kept asking Felicity about the other woman, not realizing that Felicity was the other woman. Julie twists the knife: "He's a good kisser, isn't he?" Felicity looks like she wants to vomit. She tells Julie that she didn't plan it, and adds that she's so sorry. Julie says, "I really don't care what you are. You can be sorry or not. It doesn't matter to me. You're just a lying bitch." Whoa. Felicity looks like she's been slapped, and starts crying. She whispers that she doesn't know what to say. Julie tells her not to say anything, and just to leave. Felicity says that she's not going with Ben. Julie tells Felicity just to get out. Felicity says that she's going to Berlin with Noel. Julie says that she's not so sure about that, because she told Noel. Wow. What a sucker punch. I'm sure the argument could be made that Felicity deserved it, but I'm not going to make it. Felicity whispers, "How could you do that?" Julie doesn't answer. I have to say that this whole scene could have been very soap-opera-like, just looking at the dialogue, but both actresses made it seem very real. Especially Keri Russell.
Felicity pushes open the door to Noel's room and softly asks if they can talk. Noel doesn't answer right away, and then crabs that he wants the plane ticket back. Felicity slowly takes off her backpack, and then pulls out the ticket. She starts to hand it to Noel, but he won't look at her, so she just sets it on the desk. She waits, in case he is willing to speak to her, but he totally ignores her, so she leaves.
Felicity sits on a bench outside an office, looking lost. Felicity goes in to see her guidance counselor. Oh, this was before the days of Toni Pavone. Damn. Felicity explains that she hopes she's learned something this year, and that it hasn't been a waste. Felicity adds that she didn't know anyone when she came to New York, and that even Ben was a stranger to her. Felicity says that people she had never met became so important to her, and that they felt like real friends. Felicity starts crying and guesses that the counselor gets kids all of the time who crying at the end of their freshman year about how it all turned out. He asks whether she's still thinking about becoming an R.A. Felicity doesn't think so, because she doesn't know whether she's the best person to give advice. The counselor points out that she's someone who's been through it. He asks Felicity whether he'll see her next year, and she laughs.
