Episode Report Card Maggie: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Final Answer
By Maggie | Season 2 | Episode 22 | Aired on 05.16.2000
At Elena and Knoll's apartment, Knoll tells Ruby that she shouldn't marry Wade, even though Knoll gives him "full credit" for wanting to do the right thing. He wants her to stay with him and magnanimously says, "If having a father, uh, a husband, is so important to you, then we can talk about that." Geez, Richard's helicopter ride would have been more romantic and heartfelt. However, Ruby is not offended by Knoll's back-handed proposal, and says that she's been waiting to hear that from him "for so long." The pregnancy hormones must be clouding her brain -- either that, or she has much lower expectations than I do. She tells him that her parents want her to come home so that they could look after her and the baby. Knoll asks if she is considering it and she says that after what he just said, she's not sure what she's going to do.
At one hour and twenty-eight minutes before Felicity's exam, she and Ben are stretched out on the bed in the hotel, fully clothed, and after joking for a few seconds they start to fool around, again. Felicity grabs Ben's "fancy new usher watch" to determine that she has an hour and a half before her exam, and puts it on the night table beside her. With that, the wrasslin' begins in earnest.
Back at the loft, Meghan urges Elena not to be the one to initiate Tracy into the 'mysteries of the universe' because "if you sleep with a religious virgin, it's like he's breaking up with God, to date you. And let me tell you from personal experience, you do not want to be the Yoko in a man's relationship with the Lord." Meghan details her experience with Chad Savage and his subsequent breakdown and obsession with her. Elena doesn't think that will happen with Tracy but Meghan is steadfast and advises her to go to church with Tracy, not to bed.
Fifty minutes before the exam, Ben and Felicity are only partially clad now. Ben asks if she wants to stop and Felicity says that she doesn't want to feel rushed. Ben says that there isn't any rush because they have the room all night and she can go take the test, then come back. She says okay and they resume kissing. We get a close up of the watch on the nightstand, which stops ticking at exactly 4:11 p.m..
Now things really start to heat up. Elena and Tracy are in her bed, getting ready to rumble, when she starts to have doubts. Obviously the seeds that Meghan planted are starting to grow. Julie and Knoll are in the loft scarfing down Meghan's cookies and getting cozy. At the hotel, Ben and Felicity take breaks in practicing their Greco-Roman holds, to consult Ben's watch, which still says 4:11, but they're too hot and bothered to really realize that the time hasn't changed for a long time. Richard accompanies Sean to his storage space where he picks up some suits to wear on his date with Julie. Out on the street, he decides on one in particular since it favours his bone structure. Somewhere en route from the storage locker and the loft, Sean has picked up a bouquet of flowers for Julie. Knoll and Julie start to kiss.
