Episode Report Card Kim: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT A Perfect Match
By Kim | Season 4 | Episode 11 | Aired on 12.18.2001
Felicity walks outside and hails a cab. At the same time, Ben exits the hospital and stands there, thinking. Felicity gets into her cab, then looks up at the sky to see snow falling. Ben also looks at the falling snow, then starts walking, eventually breaking into a jog, and then a sprint. Ben runs down the crowded streets of New York in the snow.
Javier pushes the elevator call button. The elevator arrives, and Ben pops out. He asks if Felicity is there. Javier says that she already went to the airport. Ben asks which one, and when Javier says, "La Guardia," Ben hurries back into the elevator. Javier asks if Ben is going after her, and that it's so romantic. He asks if he can come with Ben. Ben says no. Javier says he understands that Ben wants to be alone with Felicity.
Felicity sits in the crowded airport, reading a book. Ben rushes in, sees her, and then stands there staring. Felicity looks up from her book and sees him. He starts walking towards her. Felicity asks what he's doing there. Ben says that when he saw the snow, he thought her flight might be delayed. Felicity confirms that it was. Ben reminds her that she wondered why he stopped by the night before. He says it was because he missed her, and he wants to start over. They kiss. Lots. When they break apart for a moment, Ben asks if she's still going to leave. Felicity laughs and says she's not, then hugs Ben with tears in her eyes. This is my favorite episode of the season.
The snow continues to fall outside as Ben and Felicity lie in bed together. They're naked! You know what that means! Ben watches Felicity sleep, then leans over and kisses her on the cheek. She wakes up and sleepily says hello. Ben tells her that it's still snowing out. Felicity is glad. Ben asks what she wants to do. Felicity replies, "Everything." Ben says he has to go to the hospital, but later he wants to take her out on a date. They stare at each other happily for a moment, and then Felicity tells Ben about the dance, even though she's sure that he thinks it's stupid. Ben says that he'll take her. Felicity also wants to go sledding in Central Park, and Ben agrees to that too. There's a knock at the door, and Ben yells out, "Go away!" Felicity adds, "Please?" Meghan says that Ben's mom is on the phone. Ben sighs, and says that he'll talk to his mom, and then they'll go sledding. Felicity giddily agrees. Ben gets up and grabs the phone from Meghan, walking out of the room. Meghan spots Felicity in bed and looks at her like, "Don't I know you? I didn't expect to see you here." Felicity giggles happily. Meghan asks why Felicity isn't in California. Felicity says that Ben came to the airport, and Meghan tells Felicity never to doubt her spells. Felicity promises not to as Ben walks back in. Meghan comments, "Nicely done." Ben walks in and sits on the bed, putting his face in his hands. Felicity asks what's wrong. Ben tells her that his dad can't get the liver, because the transport team is stuck in Philadelphia due to snow. Felicity comforts him. Man, they gave me, like, one scene of happiness before they had to bring the drama?
