By Kim | Season 1 | Episode 19 | Aired on 05.03.1999
Dean & Deluca. Lynn walks in and harasses a customer in an effort to razz Ben. The customer is unfazed. Lynn demands a coffee and a free brownie, which Ben gives him. They talk about swim team practice, and Lynn invites Ben to go bowling with him and Nicole. Ben says he can't go, and then shows Lynn his paycheck from Dean & Deluca. Lynn comments on how little money it is. Oh, I'm sorry we can't all have the glamorous and wealth-building job of...bartender. Whatever, Lynn. Ben asks Lynn to bet the money. Lynn doesn't think Barry will take such a small amount, so Ben tells him to double it, and he'll worry about covering it if he loses. I'll bet he's regretting buying Julie's stupid guitar about now. Lynn doesn't want to, but Ben says he needs it. Lynn urges Ben to go bowling with them, and offers to pay. ["Woo, big spender! That's five whole dollars he's saved Ben on his entertainment budget!" -- Wing Chun] Ben finally agrees, and then signs his check over to Lynn.
DocuCam. Felicity walks down the hall and asks Sean what he's doing. Sean says it's a docuventary, and that he really needs to talk to Felicity, who's not interested. Doesn't she already know what he's doing, since she saw him at Epstein Bar? Felicity walks by with her head down. Sean turns the camera around and narrates, "There she goes. Felicity Porter. The unknowing co-star."
More DocuCam. Guy interviews that he's very complex and that girls don't understand him. He thinks he'll get tons of chicks when he's older. He might start by getting a haircut. Julie interviews that some people think Hannah was being manipulative, but Julie just thinks she was lonely. Elena interviews that Felicity is her girl, and that they go through things together.
Noel works on a docuventary graphic. Felicity knocks on the door and Noel yells, "Richard, go away." Felicity says that it's her, and Noel tells her to come in. She pauses inside the door and says it feels like she hasn't been in there in so long. Noel agrees and pleasantly asks what's up. Felicity brings up her pasta theory, and I'm surprised "The Pasta Theory" wasn't the episode title. But then they had that one later on called "The Aretha Theory," so it might have been confusing. J.J. Abrams sure likes his theories. Noel remembers the pasta theory, and saw that the special was linguine on Monday. Felicity explains that she missed a crucial McGrath seminar, so now she has to do a final project with charts and graphs, and Noel is great at those. Noel asks what she needs. Felicity says she wondered if she could use Photoshop when he's not using his computer. So the wrong software for that. She should be using Excel. Noel tells her that she can use it now. Felicity asks if he's sure, and Noel says he was just fooling around with stuff for Sean's movie. Felicity sits down, and Noel lies down on his bed and picks up a book. Felicity asks again if it's okay. Noel says they can't keep having this conversation. Felicity turns back to her work. Noel totally watches her work and then asks if she needs a new layer. Felicity says she does, so Noel stands up and grabs the mouse, brushing her hand in the process, like he couldn't have just yelled out the keyboard shortcut or whatever. Felicity thanks him and he sits back down.
