Episode Report Card 1 USERS: B- YOU GRADE IT Help For The Lovelorn
By Kim | Season 2 | Episode 11 | Aired on 01.22.2000
Ben is on the bottom. Then Knoll. Then Elena. Then Julie. Felicity is climbing up them, much like that Melissa Etheridge video a few years back. Ben yells to ask her how close she is. Felicity says she's almost there and everyone needs to stretch. She grabs the edge and pulls herself up, then falls outside and screams. Everyone else falls down into the room and start yelling to Felicity, asking her what's out there. We see a tiny doll lying face down on a desk. Meghan picks it up and places it back in her box, saying, "Get back in there with your little friends." Sally does her Rod Serling thing again. "Felicity Porter. Stuck inside a box." She goes on to compare the inside of Meghan's box to college life, where everything is in question. And that's it.
I'm guessing that this was a stand-alone episode, and won't really have any standing on the rest of the series. Like, maybe the whole series is taking place in Meghan's box, kind of like the whole series of St. Elsewhere was taking place in the mind of an autistic boy, or Newhart was a dream that Bob Newhart had. Or maybe the producers were just bored and wanted to try a black-and-white episode. Only time will tell if this episode has any repercussions, though.
