Episode Report Card Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Hello, I Must Be Going

Docuventary clip: Molly, the new roommate from London, is at a hotdog cart on the street. She tells Sean that she's doing her junior year abroad, and she's studying "fashion, photography, orgasmology." Sean gets very excited at the prospect and wants to hear all about the course. Molly admits that she was just kidding and that she was trying to give him the "hook" he needs for his film. She asks him what happened to his nose.
Felicity and Elena are in the kitchen of their apartment, where Felicity is whinging about Ben being emotionally distant. Molly pipes up, "Guys are Venus Flytraps -- something emotional lands on them and they just shut up." Felicity admits that she's worried about Ben. Molly brings up Ben breaking Sean's nose while playing basketball because she thought that Felicity already knew about it. Molly is busy making what sounds like "Bubbles [sic] and Squeak." For someone who appears to have lived and worked in Britain for some time, according to her résumé at the Internet Movie Database, she is quite unfamiliar with national dishes. Bubble and Squeak is made with various leftover vegetables, and since Molly has been in the apartment all of five minutes, I doubt she's au courant with the contents of the fridge. Besides, is it likely that there's boiled cabbage hanging around? I'm surprised she's not making Spotted Dick for dessert. Speaking of him, I'm grateful he hasn't shown up in this episode, thus far. Julie arrives and lords it over Felicity that she's has been "hanging" with Ben, and the reason she knows more about his situation than Felicity does is because she and Ben have a "history."
Felicity and Ben are at the loft, and she repeats what Julie has told her. Ben states that he's not filing a report. He gets angry and says he doesn't want to talk about it. He wants space to think about it. Felicity says she understands and gathers up her stuff and leaves.
Commercial for the Phillips CD recorder, which takes making mixed tapes to new heights. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 stills seems like crap from what I've seen of the trailers. Attention Hollywood, that was a one-off success, forget about a sequel. An ad for Pepperidge Farms Milano cookies is trying to teach me that sharing is overrated. Maybelline employs Christy Turlington and several other supermodels to shill makeup. Last week, the Wendy's commercial had a NASCAR theme; this week it's eastern enlightenment and sitar music. The WB is still pushing the Gilmore Girls down our throats.
