Episode Report Card Kim: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Revolutions
By Kim | Season 2 | Episode 16 | Aired on 04.04.2000
Felicity and Julie walk down the street, eating their doughnuts. Unlike some shows I could mention (*cough* Dawson's Creek *cough*), they are dressed appropriately for the cold, rainy weather typical of New York in April. Julie asks Felicity if she ever has nightmares, and Felicity says she had one recently about Meghan's box. Hey, look at the continuity on Felicity! They brought up Burky's "crunch" and mentioned the Twilight Zone episode. Color me impressed. Julie says she's been dreaming about Zach lately, and she feels like "a war veteran, having flashbacks from the battlefield." I think the writers knew that everyone was really, really hating Julie this season so they brought up this storyline again so that the viewers would feel sorry for her again. Well, that and it's realistic that rape would have a lasting psychological impact. Maybe I shouldn't be so cynical. Felicity asks about the dreams and Julie says she just can't sleep. Felicity mentions the counselors at the health center, and Julie says she went last year, when it happened, but that technically she is still supposed to schedule her third appointment. Felicity suggests that she do that. Julie says she's not ready yet and then changes the subject by talking about how good the doughnuts are. Felicity agrees that they are "too good." Mmm, doughnuts. Sorry, I was having a Homer moment.
Felicity is on the phone in the health center with someone who apparently has a body part that is "swollen to the size of a squash ball." A very cute woman walks up to the counter and waits for Felicity to get off the phone. Some people on the forums thought that perhaps this was the actress who played Margaret Yang in Rushmore, but I found out it's not. The name of this actress is Keiko Agena and she has guest-starred on Beverly Hills 90210 as an ice skater, and on ER as a patient. That may be why she looked familiar. Anyway, once Felicity gets off the phone, the woman asks to make an appointment. Felicity verifies that she's a student there and then suggests 6:00, since that's all they've got. The girl agrees and gives her name: Leelah Foster. That's how they spelled it on the official site, anyway, but I would have spelled it Leila. Felicity asks what the appointment is for and Leelah lowers her voice and says she needs to get the morning-after pill because "the condom broke." Then she realizes she really didn't need to give a reason and laughs ruefully and says, "As if you care." Felicity says she's sorry and then looks thoughtful for a moment. She tells Leelah to hang on while she checks if they can get her in earlier.
