Previously on Felicity.
Sometimes I'm so depressed, I can't get out of bed.
I'm not I'm not depressed.
Hi, Dr.
Pavone.
This is Noel Crane.
The reason I'm calling is because I'm I was hoping to get a referral.
I love you.
If this had happened a year ago, I would have understood.
I would have felt like I deserved to be cheated on.
But I don't.
I don't deserve it.
- Hey, I'm sorry I'm late.
- That's okay.
I'm sorry.
Can I help you? - Yeah, I asked for 2% milk.
- That is 2%.
No, it's regular.
- I made that one myself - Yeah, with regular milk.
Excuse me.
Is there a problem? I'm the manager.
I asked for a latte with 2% milk.
This girl used regular.
- I can't have that.
I'm on a weight-loss program.
- Ah, really? - I can taste the fat globules.
- Fat globules.
That's not good.
No, it's not.
All right.
Why don't we do this.
Why don't I give you back your four bucks, and you can go buy your I'm not coming here again.
Okay.
- Thanks.
- Sure.
Hey, hey, I've been meaning to talk to you.
- I should have called you.
- It's okay.
No.
I said I was gonna call you, and I didn't.
So I'm sorry.
How are you? - I'm good.
- Good.
I'm glad.
I'm glad you're glad.
Do you want to get together and maybe get something to eat and talk? Uh, yeah.
Yeah.
Why don't you come over? We have so many leftovers.
Okay.
Okay, good.
Then I'll see you there.
- Okay.
- I mean, I'll see you here.
You know.
Look, I don't think that's the best idea.
I've been thinking a lot, and I think we need to move on.
Okay.
I think it's the best thing for both of us.
Right.
Okay.
Okay, I'm gonna get back to work.
* Can you become * * Can you become * * A new version of you * * New wallpaper * * New shoe leather * * A new way home * * I don't remember * * New version of you * * I need a new version of me * * New version of you * * I need a new version of me * Oh, that couch is gonna make a hunchback out of me.
- What's wrong with you two? - Ben wants to move on.
What does that mean? He wants to get a new apartment? He wants to see other people.
Oh, Mother Mary and Joseph.
I'm gonna tell him he needs to find a new chemistry tutor.
Don't.
He needs your help.
I don't want him to do badly.
Look at this.
Her heart is breaking into tiny pieces, and she's still an angel.
If I was an angel, none of this would be happening.
This might not help, but when Tracy and I broke up, I kept busy so I didn't think about it.
Yeah, I'm gonna go to the studio today.
And you're seeing Streetcar with me tonight, right? - I don't know, Javier.
- What do you mean? You have to come protect me against Miss Lonelyhearts.
This widow in my theater class has a huge "crunch" on me.
- She does? - Okay, I don't like your tone.
For your information, a lot of women like gay men more than straight guys.
Right now, I do.
The class is going.
What if she asks me out? - Say no.
- I can't.
She's so sad, like a puppy dog with one of those big cones.
You have to come.
Please! Okay, I'll go.
Oh, good.
And wear something alluring.
All right, I'm gonna go to the studio.
See you later.
- Bye.
- Ciao.
Bye.
- Bye We have to do something about her and Benjamin.
- I know.
Like what? - I don't know.
I can't sit here like a bump on a frog.
I have to do something.
Oh, God.
I wish I could have that.
Okay, so I'll just put the check in your box.
Well, perfect, great.
Yeah.
No, thank you so much.
Okay.
Okay, bye.
- Guess what? - What? - I extended the lease on my sublet.
- Really? I am officially, for the next three months, a resident of New York City.
- That's great.
- I really feel like it's the right thing to do.
Just leave my old life and my ex and start over.
What? - Nothing.
- You think I'm running away? I don't think that.
New York is great.
But? But I was thinking, after we see my dad, maybe you would have dinner with me.
Do you mean a date? No, I don't mean a date.
I mean dinner.
- What? - How old are you? I'm Look, I've dated older women before.
So it is a date? - I've had dinner with older women before.
- Okay.
So, what time did you want to pick me up? - I can pick you up whenever you want.
- How about 7:00? - Pick you up at 7:00.
- Okay, 7:00.
I can do that.
- Bet your father's back in his room.
- Yeah, he probably is.
Let's go upstairs.
- What time is it? - It's noon, actually.
I've been waiting for you to get up.
Listen.
When is Noel getting out of here? Huh? I don't know.
Listen to this: Comfort Cologne.
It's cologne for men, and it smells like their favorite foods, like mac and cheese, - brisket, lasagna.
- Didn't he say he'd be out a month ago? This is really good, right? - What? - Oh, that's good.
That's great.
I want to hear your idea, but all I can think about is that I haven't slept in a week because Noel is up watching Nick at Nite reruns.
He is? I love Nick at Nite.
So do I, but not at 4:00 in the morning.
Either we're putting a wall up in our room, - Not happening.
- Or we're getting rid of Noel.
- No, we're not asking Noel to leave.
- Why not? I'm not taking Ben's side, but the fact is Noel is the interloper.
The one who lopes, leaves.
Duh.
Everybody knows that.
What is he still doing here, besides keeping me up all night? - Hey! - Relax.
I'll be out in a week.
- Uh, look, Noel - What? She's right.
I mean, what am I doing here? What's the matter with you? He said it himself.
I'm right.
Hey.
What are you doing here? I was worried about you.
It looks like with good reason.
That's dark.
You want to go to lunch? Yes.
Um, just hang on.
What is it? A painting.
I know that.
I mean, what is it? Is it an oil spill, or is it your emotions running around? Um, it's not an oil spill.
I don't know what it is.
I guess I'm still trying to figure that out.
It's really good.
That's what I keep telling her.
She won't listen to me.
- Who's that? - Owen.
Who's Owen? He's the grad student who T.
A.
's the class before mine.
- He's really cute.
- He's annoying.
I've asked him 5,000 times to clean up, and he never does.
- He obviously likes you.
- He does not.
- You should ask him out.
- What? - I'm serious.
He's adorable.
- You ask him out.
Hey, Owen.
- Yeah? - Do you have a girlfriend? No.
Why? - Felicity was wondering.
- God.
Okay, we're going to lunch.
- Bye, Owen.
- Bye.
I'm gonna kill you.
Hey, Benjamin.
Ah, yes, we need to talk.
- What's up? - You know, last week I was Senor Rude.
You weren't.
You were fine.
Okay, well, I'm going to make it up to you.
You and I are going to go to the off-off-off Broadway production of A Streetcar Named Desire.
- Oh! Tonight? - Yes.
I can't go tonight.
I got plans.
- What, like a date? - Yeah, like a date.
Man, you move fast.
Okay, look.
The truth is, I'm dying without Samuel, and I can't be alone.
- Javier, I can't go.
- Dying.
Look, you're almost a doctor.
Do something.
Help me.
- What? - Go to the play.
Otherwise, I may not make it through the night.
All right, Javier.
Maybe I can change my plans.
Yes, break that date.
Right away.
- I said maybe.
- Okay, okay, but you're gonna go, right? I feel like I'm falling.
And the things I used to grab onto, the things that used to hold me in place, like, like work, and friends, and home, they're, uh, they're snapping like twigs.
- That sounds frightening.
- Yeah, it is.
I can deal with it.
I mean I don't even feel like myself anymore.
- You want my opinion? - Yeah, I guess.
- That's what I'm paying for, right? - Right.
Well, given what you've told me about the past few weeks - Months, actually.
Months.
- Right.
And your family history, and the insomnia and anxiety, it sounds like a mood disorder.
- What's a mood disorder? - Like depression.
So what I'd recommend is therapy and medication.
Drugs? Yes.
They're extremely effective for symptoms like yours.
You don't understand.
I don't I'm not sick.
I don't have symptoms.
Okay? I have problems.
I've been going through a lot lately, but it's all outside stuff.
It's not inside of me.
I'm fine.
If you'd been through what I've been through the past couple weeks, you'd feel bad, too.
You're probably right.
I would.
Noel, I'm just here to listen and make some suggestions.
I feel like you don't know me, and you're already recommending medication, though.
- Just feels a little extreme to me.
- It's just a suggestion.
I know.
Man, that sucks.
What sucks? You didn't even notice.
Notice what? Well, somebody cleaned up.
The floors, you could practically eat breakfast off of them.
Oh, my God.
I cleaned your brushes, too.
Thanks.
So, what was that about before? I mean, your friend, she was Oh, Elena.
Yeah.
You know what? She's, uh, just a little out of control.
Out of control.
That's funny.
So you're not looking? - No, I'm not looking.
- That's good to know.
Yeah.
I actually have to get going, so Big date? No, I am meeting a friend, and I'm going to see a play.
- Have fun.
- Thanks.
Hey, listen, um Thanks for cleaning up.
I do appreciate it.
Sure.
- All right, I'll see ya.
- Bye.
- Hey.
- Hey, what are you doing here? Javier invited me.
What? - Oh, my God.
What is he doing? - I don't know.
Do you want to go in? It's supposed to be really good.
- Hi, you have the tickets? - No, I don't know.
Oh.
Felicity, hi.
Hi, hi.
I was meeting Javier.
- Aren't we meeting Javier? - Yeah.
Yeah, you know what? Javier probably isn't showing up.
Why don't we see if they've got more tickets? No, you know what? Take mine.
- No, no.
- Please, please.
- It's supposed to be really good.
- Thank you.
Sure.
Um, you know, I'll see you guys later.
Okay.
Are you okay? I'm all right.
Let's go in.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, I'm fine.
Come on.
Javier? Hey, do you know where Javier is? Um, he's taking a bath.
Are you okay? Javier, are you decent? I'm coming in.
How could you do that? It was so embarrassing.
Oh, you're back already? Oh, it's not even intermission.
- You made us look like idiots.
- I was trying to play Cupid.
I thought Stanley and Stella would be inspirational.
They're passionate and in love like you and Benjamin.
Ben and I are broken up.
We are broken up, okay? I don't understand.
Are you trying to make this worse? - Meghan's psychotic at Thanksgiving, - Meghan's always and you're asking guys I work with if they have girlfriends, and you're acting like some weird, covert matchmaker.
Of anyone, you guys should understand how hard this is for me.
- We were just trying to help.
- We want to see you happy.
- We're sorry.
- Yeah.
No, I know.
I'm just So, what happened? He brought Lauren.
Lauren? Thanksgiving Lauren? Yeah.
I mean, I guess she's the one he's moving on with, or whatever.
The chances of that happening are zero.
There was a definite vibe between them.
Did I say zero? I meant less than zero.
- This is it.
- It's nice.
- It came furnished.
- It's a nice place.
- Have a seat.
- Okay.
- Um, a drink? - Uh, yeah, sure.
I have water.
Water's good.
Here.
Thank you.
About what happened before, before the play Oh, the little uncomfortable reunion on the street? Yeah.
I'm sorry about that.
That's okay.
Your friend Javier was trying to play yenta.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess so.
Um, anyway, I am really sorry.
That's okay.
I had a really nice time tonight.
Yeah, so did I.
Good.
It's Lauren in New York.
Leave a message.
Hey, it's me.
- You there? - Sorry.
Pick up the phone.
Hey.
Uh, yeah, you know what, I can't talk Because I have somebody here.
Did you want me to go? No.
Okay.
Well, no, we've gone over that.
Do we need to talk about this right now? - Just hold on a second.
- I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
I'm gonna go.
- Tomorrow night.
I'm not doing anything.
- Okay, okay.
Don't worry.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
I've never had so much trouble swallowing food in my life.
Looking at that girl's face and the empty chair.
Stella.
It's gonna be all right after she goes and after you've had the baby.
It's gonna be all right again between you and me, the way it was.
Do you remember the way it was? The nights we had together? It's gonna be sweet when we can make noise in the night the way we used to.
And get the colored lights going without nobody's sister behind the curtains to hear us.
Talk about animal magnetism.
- Where? - No, you.
Oh, my God, Javier.
I could literally feel the heat.
I'm telling you, you put Marlon Brando to shame.
Oh, well, if only I looked that good in a tight T-shirt.
No, I think you look better.
Okay, I gotta go fix my dryer.
You know, you haven't told me what happened last night.
- I missed you.
- Oh, yeah, um Sorry about that.
Uh, I had to do an emergency love connection, or as it turned out, love catastrophe, for a couple of friends.
If you want to see it again, I'll go with you.
No, I don't want you to do that.
I'm just going to, to rent the movie.
I could, um, bring dinner and watch it with you? Okay, look, Rita.
You are very nice and a very woman-like woman, but - I'm not your type.
- I'm sorry.
- No, that's okay.
You know what? I understand.
I'm not a lot of people's type.
I still think you're very talented, Javier.
- I'll see you later.
- Thank you.
- Hey, are you okay? - Yeah, uh - I should have called you.
- Why? What happened? - Just my ex.
- Is that the guy that called yesterday? Yeah.
He wants to get back together.
Is that Is that good? I don't know.
We can hang out another time.
- Yeah, I think probably I should be by myself.
- Okay.
- Did you talk to your dad? - No.
I think he's getting his CT results today, and I'd like to know what they are.
Yeah.
Are you okay? Are you sure you don't want me to stay? No, really, I'm okay.
- I'll call you, okay? - Okay, okay.
Hey.
Oh, my God.
I was just thinking about you.
- Really? - Yeah.
- I haven't seen you in forever.
- I know.
It's been a while.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
Yeah, I'm great.
You know, I'm just going to the studio, if you feel like having a cup of coffee or something.
No, I'm just gonna head back.
Hey, if you change your mind, you know where to find me.
- Yeah.
- Seriously.
I mean I miss you.
I miss you, too.
I'll see ya.
I thought you'd be here.
I brought you some hot chocolate.
That's Thank you.
That's really sweet.
There's whipped cream.
I hope that's okay.
Yeah, that's amazing.
Thank you.
So, you're pretty intense, huh? What do you mean? Just the way you are.
You always want the studio clean.
You're here late at night, working.
Alone.
Yeah.
I like it here at night.
I know.
Intense.
I mean, look at that.
It's swirling pain.
Oh, yeah.
Looks more like an oil spill.
Look, I don't know anything about your personal life, and it's certainly none of my business, but this is college.
You're allowed to have a little fun.
Yeah, I do have fun.
Just making sure.
Hey, Owen? - Yeah? - Do you want to go out sometime? And have fun? Yeah.
Yeah, I'd love to.
- Thanks.
- Sure.
- What floor? - Eleven.
You already got it.
God.
- Wear a skirt.
- That'll look like I'm trying too hard.
And you're not trying now? Well, okay, this looks stupid.
Why am I doing this? Because you're tired of suffering, and it's the right thing to do.
Yeah.
So you think a skirt, huh? Yes.
- Perfect.
- Oh, God.
Are you Here to see Felicity.
- God, this is so weird.
- Who cares? You look great.
Coming! - Hey.
- Hi.
Hey.
Um Owen, this is Ben.
Ben, Owen.
- What's up? - How you doing? - Oh, we were supposed to study, weren't we? - Yes.
- It was nice to meet you.
- You, too.
You look great.
Are you ready to go? We should go.
Yeah, yeah.
- You have a coat or something? - Yeah, my coat.
Yeah.
Okay.
- So, you ready to study? - Yeah.
I've read all this stuff on depression, about how it's a disease, like diabetes, and about how it's hereditary.
Uh, about the symptoms.
Self-loathing and hopelessness.
But I'm not that guy.
I'm the hopeful one, the one who solves other people's problems.
I mean, I was an R.
A.
I'm a guidance counselor.
- I bet a really good one.
- Yeah, I am.
People come to me.
- Who do you go to? - Me? You tell me your brother was here over the holiday, right? - And he told you about his depression.
- Yeah.
Do you go to him when you need help? Yeah, I do.
He's great.
Exactly.
See, Noel, having depression doesn't mean you're a weak person.
If anything, it means you're a more empathetic one.
It's just, uh Growing up, my brother used to go through, uh, through this phase where it was like he didn't seem to hear anyone around him.
It was like he was looking up at you from the bottom of a swimming pool.
He was older, so at the time, I just I thought that I was boring him.
And now? Now I realize that he could have drowned while we were all talking at him.
So, this medication, how long would I have to stay on it? I don't know.
Forever? Maybe.
Noel, I'm not gonna let you drown.
Good.
I don't want to.
So, do we talk about the guy at your door, or pretend like that never happened? That Yeah, that, um He's my ex-boyfriend.
Sorry about that.
Recent? Uh, yeah, I guess.
Yeah.
So, I'm potential rebound boy.
- No.
- That's okay.
I've been rebound boy before.
It's actually much better than it sounds.
Were you in love with him? You ask a lot of questions, Owen.
A guy's got to know his competition, right? Um, well, Ben is seeing someone else now, so Oh.
What a pig.
He's a total jerk.
Right? No, Ben's good.
He's great.
He really is.
You broke his heart.
It was complicated.
I guess it usually is.
Yeah, I guess so.
Maybe you just weren't getting what you needed or something.
No, no, no, um Ben really is great.
It was my fault, completely.
You're right.
Sometimes I ask too many questions.
We could move on to hobbies.
I have completely mastered snowboarding.
And, um, I can play the kazoo.
Really? You can? Yeah.
Who can't, really? Hey, it's me.
Just I don't know why I'm calling.
Just to say hi, I guess.
So, hi.
Uh, you don't have to call me back.
If you want to, you can.
Um, but you know, if you don't, or you're out late, uh, then don't.
Uh Whatever.
I'll I'll probably talk to you later.
Okay, bye.
I really had a fun time tonight.
I'm glad.
I mean, that was the goal, right? For you to actually have fun.
Yeah, and I did.
So, thank you.
You're welcome.
Okay? No? I'm just, um Not ready.
No.
I mean, I had a really good time with you.
I understand.
I know it may not seem like it now, but you're gonna find someone else.
May not be me, but it's gonna happen.
Yeah, I know.
- And promise me something.
- What? Tomorrow morning, in the studio, don't feel weird.
We had fun.
This was fun tonight.
Yeah, it was.
Good night, Felicity.
Good night, Owen.
- You ready? - Just play it.
Hey, it's me.
Guys are all the same, the second you move on.
I don't know why I'm calling.
Just to say hi, I guess.
So, hi.
He has no idea what to say.
You don't have to call me back.
If you want to, you can.
- He's dying.
- Shh.
But you know, if you don't, or you're out late, uh, then don't.
He wants you back, and it's really pissing him off.
I'll probably talk to you later.
Yeah, he's pissed, at his sorry self.
- What are you doing? - I'm gonna call him back.
No, you're not! - I'm not? - No! - Make him squirm.
- I don't want to.
Girl, that's how it works.
Trust me.
Hello? Hey.
It's Lauren.
Oh, hey.
You busy? Uh, no.
What's up? Nothing.
I don't know.
Just walking.
I bought a tea, but it's too hot.
So I just thought maybe I should just chuck four months of sobriety and get a chilled marini.
Where are you? Uh, three blocks away.
- Do you want to come over? - Yeah.
Okay.
Javier.
I wanted to give you something.
- It's a lint brush.
- Oh, that's great.
Well, you said your dryer was broken.
That happened to me once, and I had lint everywhere, so I really Okay, listen, Rita.
I got to tell you something.
I'm a lot like Blanche, okay? You know how, in the play, she hides the truth to protect herself and other people? Oh, Javier, we're all a lot like Blanche.
That's why Tennessee Williams was such a genius.
Okay, I'm a lot like him, too.
- You're a genius? - I'm gay.
Oh, yeah, I know.
- You do? - Well, it's pretty obvious, isn't it? Well, I don't know about that, but How come you want to go out with me? Javier, my husband is never coming back, but I'm not looking to replace him.
It's just, don't you ever get lonely? Lots.
I lost my husband, too.
I mean, he's still alive, but I miss him.
So, maybe we can miss our husbands together? - Oh, that would be sad and nice.
- So, let's do it, huh? You swept me over.
You and your little lint brush.
That was my plan.
That was a good plan.
You must have read that Art of War by that Sun Sun.
- How you doing? - Okay.
- You all right? - Yeah.
- Can I get you something? More tea? - No, thank you.
All right.
Come sit down.
- I'll just throw my stuff - Yeah, throw it.
That's fine.
So, why don't you tell me what happened.
Well, about a week ago, I e-mailed him.
Right.
And that's when he started calling you? - Yeah.
I just got thirsty for him, you know? - Yeah.
And our relationship is, it's like drinking.
- I mean, one sip, bam, you're off the wagon.
You know? - Yeah.
Now he wants to get back together with me.
And I can't.
It is so bad for me.
I just I don't want to feel this hole in my heart anymore, you know? I know.
Yeah, I know.
I just want to forget it for tonight.
Just one night, okay? Just tonight.
Blumberg Productions, home of Shmeghan Shirts! Press one for customer service, two for investor relations, or three for Shmeghan by mail.
Hey, it's me.
I got your message.
Um, and Well, I'll be up for a little while if you want to talk.
Uh, otherwise, um, we'll talk later.
Okay.
Bye.
