Episode Report Card Kim: C+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Boooz
By Kim | Season 4 | Episode 5 | Aired on 11.06.2001
Ben walks into the hospital, only to find Snark waiting there. Snark says they aren't allowing visitors yet, but that Trevor is awake. Also, Snark heard that Ben handled the situation pretty well. Snark admits that Ben may have been right, and that he could have been more helpful, and that he also might have said that benzenes weren't going to be on the test, so it was his mistake. Snark gets up to leave, and tells Ben that he'll see him in class. Ben thanks him. Snark walks out, but turns to say that he has a son Ben's age. What? What does that have to do with it? His son is a fuck-up too, so he's harder on his students? I don't know.
Back at the Al-Anon meeting, Ben says that his dad would be drunk and disappear for days, and when he did show up, he would pretend that his family didn't exist. Ben says that when you're a kid, you want to fix things, and help, and he thinks he's trying to become a doctor so that he can help. Ben concludes, "It's funny that something so good could come out of something so bad."
Ben walks into Trevor's hospital room. Trevor looks pretty much fine, joking that he's thinking of becoming a zookeeper. Ben says that Snark let them back into the class, and he needs a lab partner. Trevor says he'll think about it, and then pretends he doesn't want to. Aw, boys who can't admit that they like each other. So cute. When Ben leaves Trevor's room, he finds Felicity waiting for him. They smile at each other and hold hands. Judging from the preview, that's the last happy Felicity and Ben moment we're going to get for a while, so savor it.
Back at the Al-Anon meeting, Ben tells the group that he realizes that he's not the best student, but maybe it's more important that he cares a lot. Yeah, try that one out on your medical school applications, Ben.
Next week: I can't even talk about it. Okay, fine. Noel tells Ben that he's already "had" Felicity. At least I won't have to see those scenes in the promos anymore.
