Episode Report Card Kim: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Todd Mulcahy, Part II
By Kim | Season 1 | Episode 14 | Aired on 02.15.1999
At the hospital, Felicity slowly walks towards Todd's room. She enters. Poor Todd is all bandaged up like a mummy. In fact, it could be a totally different actor than the one who played Todd in the previous episode, and you wouldn't know. Todd says hello and thanks Felicity for coming to visit him. Felicity says she would have come sooner, but he was still in surgery. Todd says that he fractured his liver, which he didn't even know was possible. Ouch. Me neither. Felicity smiles slightly and says she brought him some stuff. She pulls some goldfish crackers out of the bag. Todd says he still loves them. Felicity adds some Whoppers to the pile. Todd groans with happiness. Of course, he's probably not going to be able to eat any of those things for another few months, but it's the thought that counts. Felicity says she couldn't remember which comic he used to read, and Todd tells her, and Felicity grins because she bought the right one. Todd tells her that her gifts are awesome and thanks her. Felicity plays with her hair a little bit and then says she wanted him to know how much his visit means, and that because of him she's been thinking about things she hasn't thought about for a long time. Todd reminds her that he just got hit by a bus, and wants to know if he can ask a favor. Felicity guesses that he wants a kiss. Todd says that they'll know immediately, because it will either be electric, or it'll be nothing, and he'll go home "physically decimated but spiritually satisfied." Felicity laughs. I'm really impressed that he's so lucid given the huge amount of painkillers he must be getting. Mmm, painkillers. Todd begs, and Felicity relents.
Felicity leans down and kisses Todd on the lips. Suddenly, all of his monitors start going beeping. Felicity stands up and asks what that is, and then realizes that Todd is unresponsive. She starts freaking out. A doctor comes in and hits some alarm that causes a bunch of other doctors to run in and start using words like "crash cart" and "intubate." One of them tells Felicity to wait outside. The doctors start doing CPR and then shock Todd with the paddles. One doctor says that she's not getting a pulse, and they roll Todd off to the operating room "stat." I've always wondered if real emergency room doctors say "stat" as often as the ones on television do. Felicity, still kind of stunned, stands there. A blonde woman carrying flowers walks up and asks if this is Todd Mulcahy's room. Felicity asks who she is, and the woman replies that she's his fiancée. Felicity's all, "Wuh?" The woman says, "You must be Felicity." I remember the first time I saw this, I was almost as shocked at that revelation as I was when the bus hit Todd. I said "almost."
