Episode Report Card Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Crash
By Maggie | Season 2 | Episode 5 | Aired on 10.23.1999
Felicity is sitting on the end of bed recording a tape for Sally and telling her Elena's theory that Knoll is worrying about the next guy Felicity is going to date. Felicity thinks that is sweet but declares that he doesn't have anything to worry about because she is very happy to not be dating.
On her way into art class, Professor Sherman Tank stops Felicity to gush over her assignment. Felicity is taken aback because last week Sherman Tank was all about rolling over Felicity's drawing. However, Professor Sherman may have an ulterior motive, as it seems that she is pimping for her son. Yes, she actually asks Felicity to go on a blind date with her son, and even though she admits "it is a little unprofessional." A little unprofessional -- ya think?!?!? It seems that Mama's Boy is a grad student at the fictional University of New York and he's a photographer. Felicity stammers incoherently.
Felicity tells Elena at Epstein Bar that of course, she said no, because she has a boyfriend, but then she remembers that she told Sherman that she didn't have one when Sherman asked. Elena doesn't understand why Felicity is getting "all worked up." Felicity suspects that Sherman will rev up her tank and roll over her and her drawings again, should Felicity decline to go on the date. Elena tells her not to worry because "fixing people up is something old people like to do." Well, that's never really been the case in my world, and I'm really grateful for that. Julie shows up and joins them at the table just as Elena is mentioning blind dates. Julie asks, "Who's going on a blind date?" Elena tells Julie about Professor Sherman recruiting Felicity to date her son, and then Elena leaves to meet with her new lab partner. Felicity and Julie share an awkward moment and then Julie offers to share her bag of muffins with Felicity for breakfast. Um, you're in a restaurant. If you want breakfast, shouldn't you order something off the menu? Sadly, there are no servers around to kick Julie and her bringing-outside-food-into-a-restaurant ass out into the street. Julie asks Felicity if she is going to go on the blind date. Felicity says no and Julie tells her that she likes blind dates and "actually, [she] likes dates." You don't say, Julie. So, Julie goes on to tell Felicity about A-list and B-list guys, and that you date B-listers to get over breaking up with A-listers. Yeah, well, maybe that's what self-centred little brats do. Julie uses the term "dating muscle" and I still don't have the stomach to further elaborate what she means by that.
