Splendor



Ben takes a train and a taxi to get to the bed & breakfast where Felicity and Greg have planned to spend their weekend. He wants to apologize to Felicity and tell her he loves her. Greg goes to get firewood from the main house. Felicity is in the kitchen. Ben knocks on the window and scares the crap out of Felicity. She goes to the door and yells at him. She tells him she doesn't want him in her life and slams the door in his face before he can apologize. Greg returns. He kisses Felicity, but her mind is elsewhere. She tells him Ben was there. Greg says Ben is psycho. Felicity says he isn't. Greg is upset that Felicity is defending Ben. He asks why she isn't happy that Ben is gone. She says she just can't stop thinking about it. Greg says she can't stop thinking about Ben. He tells her he'll be in the car. They return to the city.

A water pipe has burst and flooded the dorm. Students bunk in the cafeteria.

Tracy has Elena and Noel's wall paper removed and the walls painted, so Elena and Noel stay at Sean's loft.

Ben returns to the loft. He's told that Felicity is back and that she's staying with her advisees at the cafeteria. Elena, Noel,and Julie advise him not to go down there. He says he won't.

Felicity apologizes to Greg and asks if she can take him to dinner. She tells him Ben is her past. He agrees to go out with her.

Ruby asks Felicity if she really followed Ben to New York - Noel told her. Felicity says she always thought that if they knew one another they'd be in love. The note Ben wrote in her yearbook after graduation confirmed what she believed. She tells Ruby she was running away from things as much as she was running towards them. Ruby says Felicity got to date her fantasy - whatever Ben wrote must have been pretty great. Later, Felicity pulls out her highschool yearbook and reads Ben's note.

Javier can't believe Felicity wouldn't allow Ben to apologize. He says Ben has changed - she's blind to the new Ben - she must need glasses. Javier takes off his glasses and puts them on Felicity. He tells her Ben was almost in tears.

Julie invites Felicity to stay at the loft instead of the icky cafeteria. Felicity asks if Ruby can come too since she's 5 months pregnant. Julie says it's ok with her.

Meghan shows up at the loft and asks if she can stay. The house is pretty full at this point. Elena,Noel, Julie,Tracy,Meghan, Felicity,Ben, and Ruby are all there. Sean comes home with huge bags of games like Trouble, Boggle, Battleship, Backgammon, Operation and Mastermind. He declares it 'Game Night'. Ben and Felicity look at one another from across the room every now and again. Sean gets a call from the Independent Film Channel. They want to buy 'Docuventary'. He kisses Julie. Everyone, including Julie, is stunned.

Wade, the father of Ruby's baby shows up. He and Ruby have plans to discuss the baby. Greg shows up to meet Felicity for their dinner date.

No one really feels like playing games after Felicity and Ruby leave. Sean and Meghan end up playing Operation.

Ben asks Meghan and Sean what Felicity sees in Greg. Ben says Greg can kiss his ass. Meghan smiles and says Greg can kiss hers... Meghan tells Ben she knows Felicity still has feelings for him because she's been listening to Sarah McLachlan again. Meghan claims Felicity only listened to Sarah when she first came to New York, before she and Ben drove cross-country, when they broke into the university pool and now. She tells Ben that Greg knows how to work it and if Felicity spends too much time with him, Sarah will be back on the shelf. Ben thinks Meghan is full of bull. Sean thinks she may be right. Ben doesn't walk - he runs to the door to go tell Felicity he loves her.

Greg and Felicity are having dinner. Greg tells her it bothers him that she's staying with Ben. Felicity says she's only there because Julie invited her. Greg tells her Ben stopped by the health center to apologize to him for leaking info about his drug arrest.

Julie asks Sean what the kiss was all about. He says he was excited. He's madly,insanely and passionately in love with her - he has been for a long time. Julie is speechless.

Ben shows up at the restaurant where Felicity and Greg are having dinner. He tells Felicity he's made lots of mistakes - the biggest was letting her go. He says he now realizes he was the luckiest guy on the planet when he was with her. He was afraid before and doesn't want to lose her again. He accuses her of being afraid to take a chance because she doesn't trust him anymore. Greg is sick of Ben. He punches him in the jaw. Ben ends up on the floor. Felicity kneels on the floor and asks Ben if he's alright. Greg asks if Ben is going to show up every time they go on a date. He leaves. Felicity tells Ben he should put ice on his face, then she runs after Greg leaving Ben on the floor.
