Episode Report Card Maggie: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Final Answer
By Maggie | Season 2 | Episode 22 | Aired on 05.16.2000
In the loft, Meghan is in the kitchen clattering around while Felicity and Ben are sitting on the sofa, reading. Ben asks her what she's making and she replies, "Smart cookies." Ben is stumped by the concept and Felicity explains, "You remember the smart powder from last year? Meghan thinks it helps you study." Meghan interjects, "It does help. It just tasted so bad no one could swallow it. So, now it will be in tasty cookie form. Believe me, you people will be begging for these puppies when you're up late, cramming for finals. Damn! I forgot the eggs." Meghan heads for the door and Felicity and Ben smile at each other. Before leaving, Meghan warns, "Don't touch anything," and out she goes. Once they are sure she has gone, Felicity and Ben start making out. Again. I think Meghan was referring to her cookie dough, but I wish she had also warned them to keep their hands off each other. It's getting old.
Tracy and Elena are sitting on the sofa studying, in her apartment. Tracy closes his book and says, "Let's have sex." Elena looks astonished and says, "What?" Tracy gets up and says, "I've gotta take a test right now." Elena shouts, "Wait a minute, you can't say something like that and go off and take some test." Tracy explains that it isn't just some test, it's his "North American Indians final." Elena says, "What about waiting until you're married?" Tracy says that he's thought about his morals and values and then when he looks at the tube top Elena is wearing, his resolve wavers. I would have thought the tube top would have been a turn-off, since it is so damn ugly and it gives Elena the "fried egg boob" look. Elena looks down at her "two, over easy" and says, "So, it's working." Tracy laughs and says, "Yeah." They both laugh and he promises to call after he's taken his test.
Back at the loft, Felicity and Ben haven't left the sofa and they're still groping each other. Felicity sits up and declares that they're kidding themselves. She declares that they'll have stay apart until they are both finished their exams. Ben will be finished tomorrow and Felicity will be done two days after that. Ben wonders how that is going to work and Felicity says that when they're not at Dean & Deluca, they won't hang out together. Why would either of them have hours scheduled in the middle of finals? Anyway, Felicity thinks that when they're at the loft, Ben can stay in his room and she can stay on the couch. I don't know why they are all studying together anyway. Unless you are taking the same course, what good is studying together anyway? Maybe it's just me and the fact that I had very few exams during university. I always opted to write twenty-five page papers instead of exams, then the night before the paper was due, I cursed myself for not choosing to take the exam. Doesn't sound that tough? Well, just keep in mind, that this was during the dark ages of the mid-1980s, and I didn't have a computer, just an electronic typewriter, with a one-page memory. Why, I remember that I had to walk one block across campus, up hill, in waist-high snow, with no shoes...Uh, where was I? Oh yeah, Felicity packs up her books and says she's going to go study at the library. Of course, she and Ben have to kiss goodbye, which turns into another marathon session.
