Episode Report Card Kim: C+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT The Fugue
By Kim | Season 1 | Episode 16 | Aired on 03.01.1999
Back at her apartment, Hannah plays through the piece again while Noel watches her intently.
In the art studio, Simon tells Felicity to get comfortable. Felicity thinks her pose is lame. Simon asks if he can pose her, and Felicity agrees. Simon kneels in front of her and positions her arms, shoulders, chin, and hair. Felicity thinks for a second and then excuses herself. She runs out to a pay phone in the hall and tries to call Noel, but of course he's not there. She hangs up.
Hannah starts playing the piece again, like, how annoyed would you be with this piece by now? Noel walks over to her and watches over her shoulder, which would also be annoying. He strokes her hair. Annoying. He kisses the top of her head. Um, she's working there. Hannah stops playing and leans into Noel. They start making out. I feel kind of dirty watching this, since they're married in real life and everything.
Through the end of the episode, the setting keeps changing between Simon and Felicity in the studio and Hannah and Noel in Hannah's apartment. Simon asks Felicity if she's comfortable. Felicity is. Simon gets her some pillows. Felicity looks upset. Over at Hannah's Hannah and Noel are making out on her bed. Back in the studio, Simon finally makes his move, and kisses Felicity. Noel and Hannah, still making out. Noel unbuttons Hannah's shirt. Simon unbuttons Felicity's cardigan. Felicity grabs Simon and starts making out with him. Noel kisses Hannah's upper body. Felicity and Simon make out some more. Hannah and Noel are mostly naked, when Noel pulls away and says they can't do this. They sit up. Hannah says that he can just stay, and they don't have to do anything. Noel says he knows, but he shouldn't be there. He apologizes. I have to admire Noel's self-restraint, especially since he hasn't gotten laid since...well, since he broke up with Hannah. Felicity, meanwhile, is mostly naked. Simon asks if she's okay. She is. He asks if she wants to stop. She doesn't. They continue making out while the rain pours down outside.
