By Maggie | Season 2 | Episode 22 | Aired on 05.16.2000
Now they're in the library, sitting across the table from each other, and Felicity is telling Sally that before the summer begins, they have to get through finals and she can only concentrate on Ben. He points out a couple behind Felicity who are sitting together and necking. They make some "get a room" type comments about the other couple, then engage in some heavy duty staring into each other's eyes. Felicity suggests that they go somewhere private and they race out of the library.
At what looks like the same bodega from last week's episode, Sean is picking out some "caffeine enhanced cola, vitamins, gingko biloba, Tums, and aspirin" for Julie, to help her study. She whines that she doesn't have enough time to study and Sean assures her that in two days it will all be over and she'll feel better, "just because it's done." He likens the situation to how he felt after he told her his feelings for her. He asks her if they could go out on a date when her finals are over. She hesitates then squeaks, "Okay," while biting her lip. Sean doesn't seem to register her hesitation and is excited. Julie adds, "If I survive." Sean says, "You'll survive" and punctuates that vote of confidence by bobbing his head and sort of punching the air.
Knoll and Ruby are studying at the kitchen table in his and Elena's apartment. He asks if she's hungry and she says she is. He offers to rent a movie that they can watch at 2 am, "when [their] brains are fried." Too late, Knoll. Your brain has been fried for years. Ruby says she can't stay all night because she's seeing Wade. She breaks it to Knoll that Wade wants to get married because he "wants to be in the baby's life." Ruby continues, "a lot of people get married with less than that." Ever tactfully, Knoll blurts out, "As your friend, and former perceived father of this baby, can I just say that's a crazy idea?" Knoll, that's hardly a way to talk to a friend. And what does the fact that you're the "former perceived father of this baby" have to do with anything? The answer is nothing, but somehow you have to make this and every other situation, about you. Ruby defends Wade by saying that he's a nice guy and he that he "could really help support" her and the baby since her parents are so well off. She concludes that "it would be the best thing for the baby." Knoll mutters, "So you didn't say no." Ruby puts her head in her hands.
Julie, Felicity, Meghan, and Elena are all sitting outside the entrance to a building that has conspicuous UNY banners on it. Julie wants to know if Felicity and Ben slept together. Felicity says they haven't and Elena bemoans the fact that she can't have sex. Meghan pipes up, "I think Sean is cute." They all look at her and she says, "Oh, what do I know. After that whole thing with Greg, I'm in the mood for anyone." Elena says, "Yeah, so is Julie." Julie says, "What?" Elena asks, "If you like Knoll, why are you going out with Sean?" Julie claims, "I like Sean too. He makes me laugh and I couldn't say no when he asked me out." Elena tells her she can't do that because she'll break Sean's heart. Julie says that she doesn't want to break his heart and thinks that things may work out, and they'll have a really good time. Meghan repeats, "I think Sean is cute." Julie seems stricken and she looks at Elena.
