By Kim | Season 1 | Episode 17 | Aired on 04.19.1999
Noel sits at Epstein Bar, drinking. Lynn comes in and says that he knows Noel, and that Ben is coming over right away. Noel ruefully says that he forgot about Ben. Noel asks for a refill on his beer. Lynn asks if he's okay, and Noel says he's been better. Lynn asks if Noel's going to do one of those "I've seen it in the movies so I'm going to drink away my sorrows" things. Noel asks if Lynn's going to offer a running commentary. Lynn says he's not, but he's going to cut Noel off after the next beer, and then it will be time for Noel to go home to his girlfriend. Noel sadly says, "My girlfriend."
Meghan, that RA from another floor, and the Louis the Conscientious Objector guy meet in the hallway. They all eye each other warily, and then simultaneously pull out their guns, creating a Mexican standoff. Louis says, "I'm Louis, and I am for peace at Kelvin Hall." Meghan says she's not going down in the first round and asks who has her for a target. Elena calmly walks up behind the RA and shoots him, then takes his name. Louis takes the opportunity to run off. Meghan says that she hates the game, and walks off as well, passing Noel as he drunkenly walks off the elevator.
Noel knocks and enters Felicity's room. He notes that she's listening to the tape he made her. He asks what she thinks, and Felicity says it's really good so far. Noel asks if he can sit down, and Felicity moves over to give him room. Felicity asks if he's been drinking, and Noel says, "Just a little." Felicity asks if he got her messages. Noel says, "You called me." Felicity tries to explain that she didn't know where he was. Noel says that he was walking for a long time, and then ended up at Epstein Bar. Felicity says that she can tell. Noel apologizes, and Felicity says she didn't mean it like that. Noel says that he's sorry about them and everything that happened, and that it's all his fault. Felicity says that it's her fault too, and they hug. Felicity keeps saying that she's sorry. Noel starts kissing her neck and they start making out. Noel says he thinks they can do this. Felicity asks what he means. Noel says he thinks they can forget about it and erase it. Felicity asks if they should talk about it and figure out why it happened. Noel keeps kissing her. Felicity asks to talk about it. Noel says no and keeps kissing her. Felicity keeps saying that she wants to talk about it, but Noel starts pushing her down on the bed. Felicity finally shoves him off and he lands on the floor. They both seem embarrassed. Noel stands up shakily. Felicity seems shocked that she shoved him off. Noel asks, "What am I doing here?" and walks out. I remember when this aired, a friend of mine who shall remain nameless was like, "I would've just had sex with him. That would have been easier. I mean, she loved him so what's the big deal?" I wonder how differently things would have turned out if Felicity had slept with Noel there.
