By Kim | Season 1 | Episode 22 | Aired on 05.24.1999
Felicity continues packing, and there's a knock at the door. Ben walks in hesitantly. He smiles and says that Felicity has been avoiding him. She agrees. Ben says he got her message, and that he doesn't agree with her decision; he thinks she should come with him. Felicity starts to say that he's really kind, but Ben interrupt to say that he's not being kind, and that it's just what he wants. Ben says he understands what she's saying about Noel and Julie, but that he thinks she wants to go with him. Felicity resolutely says that she's going with Noel because they have a whole plan. Ben points out that he and Felicity had a plan, too, until she changed her mind. Felicity says that if she went with Ben, she would be the devil. Hee! Ben asks what she means, amused, and Felicity says that "it would be a direct affront to both Julie and Noel." Ben is still not convinced. Felicity says that if they went across country, they both know it wouldn't be platonic. Ben says, "So?" Word, Ben. Felicity is exasperated, and Ben says that they'll make it platonic, because he just wants to go with her. Felicity doesn't see how it could work.
Ben stares at her, then at the bed, and then walks over and sits down. "Bolero" starts playing again. Ben tells Felicity to sit down next to him. Felicity warily asks why, and Ben assures her with a grin that he's not going to do anything. Felicity smiles, walks over, and sits down next to him. Ben announces that they are in the car. Felicity says it's stupid. Ben says that he's driving. Felicity swallows hard, clearly warm for his form. Ben says, "Oh, I'm sorry. Did you want to drive?" Felicity laughs and says it's fine. Ben pretends to look out at the road and comments, "This is a smooth ride, wouldn't you say?" Hee! Felicity giggles and they both crack up. Felicity asks what happens when they go to a motel and there's only one bed. Didn't they see the episode of Happy Days where Joanie and Chachi snuck out to go to the concert and their car broke down and they had to sleep together so they each kept one foot on the floor? And then the bed broke so Chachi slept on the radiator or something? That was a good one. Ben considers this question, and then leans back so that he is lying down. He tells Felicity to lie down, too. She scoffs, but then lies down next to him. Oh, just do it. Ben looks over at her. They stare at each other for a minute. Ben stares at her mouth. Felicity pops up and says that it could never work. She tells Ben to leave. Ben says he knows she wants to go, or that she's at least thinking about it. Felicity dubiously asks how he knows that, and Ben points out that she's started wearing the necklace he got for her again. Felicity opens the door and tells him he has to go. Ben walks out and Felicity follows.
