Episode Report Card Kim: A+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Thanksgiving
By Kim | Season 1 | Episode 9 | Aired on 11.23.1998
Felicity walks determinedly down to Knoll's room and knocks. When there's no answer, she slaps a Post-It on the door that says, "Give me back my pit!"
Ben calls his mom to tell her that his ticket got messed up. His mom apparently says that she forgot he was coming home, and Ben pretends that doesn't hurt his feelings. Sean enters, and Ben gets off the phone. Sean tosses Ben a candy bar and tells Ben to eat as many as he possibly can, in order to expand his stomach capacity so that he can eat more turkey at Thanksgiving. Ben laughs. Sean asks when Ben is leaving. Ben reveals that he's actually staying, and probably going over to Felicity's and Julie's dorm. Sean half-assedly invites Ben to his brother's party. Sean offers Ben another candy bar, and leaves.
Felicity sits on a couch, playing with her hair. Julie leafs through the Yellow Pages and babbles about there being a "free-range turkey shortage of epic proportions." Felicity, self-absorbed as always in the first season, says that Knoll is definitely acting weird. Julie claims that Knoll and Hannah are "readjusting," and that Knoll is probably just feeling overwhelmed. Felicity says that it felt strange not to be able to go to Knoll's room and have him answer the door, happy to see her. I think that Felicity doesn't like Knoll; she likes the positive attention that he gives her. Julie suggests that Felicity wait until Hannah leaves, and then brings the conversation back to turkey. Felicity brings it back to Knoll, so Julie throws down the phone book. Felicity agrees to set up the dinner while Julie shops for turkeys. They're buying the turkey the same day they plan on eating it? Yeah, that'll work out. Do they understand how long it takes to cook a turkey? Clearly not.
Felicity washes her face in the bathroom, and when she stands up, Hannah is standing next to her. Hannah asks to borrow Felicity's moisturizer, and Felicity hands it to her. Hannah looks at the tube and notices that it's "zit cream." Felicity claims that her roommates must have left it, and hands Hannah the proper tube. Hannah starts saying that men are unbelievable, because they panic when you call them on things that they said. Felicity, brushing her teeth, asks whether Hannah is talking about Knoll. Hannah reveals that she and Knoll have been talking about her moving to New York, and that Knoll has been acting weird about it. This causes Felicity to stop brushing her teeth momentarily, but she soon resumes and comments that Knoll has been acting weird lately. Felicity talks around her toothpaste, saying that Knoll is probably just "readjusting." Hannah can't understand her, so Felicity spits out the toothpaste and repeats herself. Hannah says that she doesn't want to fight all the time. Felicity tells Hannah that Knoll talks about her all the time. Hannah gives Felicity a tight smile and thanks her for saying that. Felicity leaves.
