By Kim | Season 1 | Episode 5 | Aired on 10.26.1998
Felicity arrives at class to see Ben already sitting there. Felicity marches up to him and tells him that she knows what he is doing. Ben doesn't get it. Felicity says that they shared a moment, and that now Ben is freaking out, so he's blowing her off. Ben still doesn't get it. Felicity points out that he invited her to the party, and says that she felt stupid in her costume. Ben retorts that it was Halloween, so she shouldn't have felt dumb. Felicity asks him about "those 2 AM calls." Ben claims that he was just worried about her. Felicity points out that he was only worried about himself, and that he was lonely and freaked out. Ben wants to know what the point is. Felicity replies, "The next time you need a friend at 2 AM, call the Pink Power Ranger." Heh. That would have been better if she had added a couple of finger snaps and perhaps a head roll or two. Felicity walks over to sit down for class, and Ben gets up and follows her. He whisper-yells to Felicity that not everyone is like her, "crazy sensitive and always judging everybody." Felicity responds, "I don't always judge everybody. I always judge you." Ben says that he can't live up to her expectations; he adds that he can make out with anyone he wants, and that Felicity can't make him feel guilty about it. Ben admits that they had a nice moment the other night, but that it doesn't mean anything. He walks away, and Felicity looks crestfallen. From the front of the room, Julie turns around and looks at Felicity.
While we see Felicity working at Dean & Deluca, FVO tells Sally that she's been acting insane and obsessed over a guy who is "just a guy." Felicity thinks she really needs to let it go. Yeah, that'll happen.
Ben and Krakow play a Playstation game in the loft. Krakow asks Ben about Julie, since they dated. Krakow admits that they kissed, and that Julie shut him down. He wonders whether he should "give her another try," but he doesn't know what Julie wants. Ben says that he has to take a walk, and Krakow says that he has to work on his movie. They both leave.
Krakow works on his movie. Julie walks into the lab and says hello. She sits down and says that Krakow treats her like an actual person. Krakow says that she is a person. Julie brings up the kiss, and Krakow thinks that he screwed up their relationship. Julie explains that she got freaked out, and got a chill, and that she doesn't want to mess up whatever they have. Krakow says that's cool, and that he was just acting on an impulse, but that he's not "the most experienced guy of all time." Krakow babbles that they are just friends, and Julie leans over and kisses him.
