Episode Report Card Kim: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT The Storm
By Kim | Season 4 | Episode 7 | Aired on 11.20.2001
Meghan walks to Ben's doorway and continues talking, but in a much softer, conciliatory tone. She says that Felicity really loves him, "so much that it's disgusting." When she doesn't get a reaction, Meghan adds that if she thinks about it too long, it makes her want to barf. Still nothing from Ben. Meghan points out that the least Ben could do is talk to Felicity and hear what she has to say. So Ben hasn't read the letter yet, I take it? Meghan sighs because the piano is all tinkly again, and then tells Ben just to do what he wants. Ben puts his head down.
Ben lies in bed and stares at the picture that Felicity drew. He sighs heavily. Out in the kitchen, Sean is on a cleaning spree. Meghan walks out and asks what's wrong, since Sean is cleaning the kitchen. Sean can't believe that Meghan is taking Felicity's side. Meghan points out that Felicity is her friend. Sean says that Felicity cheated on her boyfriend with her best friend, and wonders if that bothers Meghan at all. Meghan says that it really doesn't. Sean wonders why Meghan is defending Felicity, and Meghan says that she's just not judging her. Sean somehow leaps to the conclusion that Meghan thinks it's okay to cheat. Meghan responds, "I think it happens." Sean can't believe that he married someone who thinks that it's okay to cheat. Meghan thinks that it's stupid that they are fighting when they don't even have a problem, and that it's not even about them. Sean realizes that Meghan is right, and they hug, and then start making out. Ben walks out and apologizes for interrupting, then asks what Felicity wants to talk about. Meghan looks at Sean triumphantly.
My eyes! Noel and Zoe are still making out, and Zoe is directing him toward a couch. Zoe looks up, startled, and says, "Dad?!?" Noel lamely tries to explain why they were there together, making out. Mr. Webb isn't interested, and tells Noel that he is fired. Is that even legal? I guess it's legal in the sense that they probably have rules about making out in the workplace.
The Notorious BBG is back. Felicity explains that she told Cavallo all about BBG's extenuating circumstances, but it didn't matter. Meghan bops in and tells Felicity that Ben has changed his mind, and wants to meet her for dinner. Notorious BBG cares about Ben and Felicity, for some reason, even though he said earlier that he didn't care about Felicity's problems. I hope this storyline comes back later, or else that whole subplot was just dumb. Like I couldn't have figured out that Felicity was distracted from her schoolwork by the Ben thing. Anyway, Felicity looks somewhat gladdened, but also extremely nervous. And her cheeks are flushed. How does Keri Russell do that?
