Episode Report Card Kim: C+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Boooz
By Kim | Season 4 | Episode 5 | Aired on 11.06.2001
Previously on Felicity: Ben said that his Chemistry professor sucked, and the professor heard him! Felicity told Ben that she was entering a beauty pageant in order to get a scholarship. Felicity won "Best Evening Wear," so she didn't get any scholarship money after all. Noel, in his new capacity as some sort of advisor, got Felicity a TA job in the Art department. Don't question it. Just go with it. It will hurt your brain if you try to make sense of it all, and no one wants that.
Felicity interviews for a TA position with Professor May, a woman, as they say, of a certain age. Felicity details all of the reasons why she would do a great job, even though she doesn't have any experience. Professor May asks what Felicity thinks of her scarf, because she "saw it at Bloomingdales, and [she] just had to have it." Felicity thinks it's great, and Professor May gives it to her. Huh. That was weird. Professor May kind of talks like Carol Channing. She asks Felicity to critique a painting behind her. Felicity says that the artist has an "obvious tenderness...for the subject," but that it's kind of derivative. Felicity realizes that Professor May is the artist, but Professor May thinks Felicity did a good job with the critique, and offers Felicity the job.
Felicity is recapping her interview for Elena while they hang a giant cobweb on the window. See, it's the Halloween episode, one week late because the season was delayed. Anyway, Elena asks whether the professor was hitting on Felicity, and Felicity responds that the professor was "like, seventy years old." Okay, she so wasn't that old. Unless Felicity is using hyperbole. Felicity suggests that she and Elena dress up as old ladies for their Halloween party. Elena says that the party is going to be full of single men, so she wants to look hot, not old. I guess Elena's over Tracy already. That was fast.
Richard rolls a keg into the apartment, probably damaging the wood floors. That's how you know that I'm old. I'm more worried about the floors than the keg. Richard says that he invited all of his friends to the party, and Elena comments sotto voce, "All three of them." Richard says he heard that. Felicity asks Richard about his costume. Richard refuses to reveal it, but promises that they will be impressed, because "it's completely homemade and totally sweet." Elena guesses that it's a pie, to Richard's disgust. Javier enters, complaining that the door was wide open. Yeah, you'd think they'd be more careful about that after the incident with Molly and Tag. I can't remember what his name was on the show. Eddie? No, I think that's the actor's name. I guess it's time to throw out the pickle. Oh, wait, I've got it. James. Richard leaves, and the girls thank him for getting the keg.
