Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on felicity...

You can totally say no,

But I have two tickets to a
concert and it's for tonight

And I wondered
if you'd go with me.

- Like a date?
- Yeah, I guess like a date.

Uh... Sure. Yeah.

So you are using
julie to get back at me.

- No. Is that what you're doing?
- You wouldn't understand.

You're right. No, I
don't understand.

Whatever he did to make you
break up with him wasn't enough.

You will never be over ben.

- Sorry I'm late.
- That's okay. Thanks for coming.

Yeah. I actually can't stay very
long. I have to get to my new job.

You got a job? Where?

I'm the new guidance
counselor at uny.

Oh, right.

- What?
- I mean, congratulations.

Yeah. It's just a stepping stone
until something better comes along.

Something will. I
know that for a fact.

Not an actual fact, but...

The reason I wanted
to see you, um...

Well, I wanted to give you this.

It's uh... For your
new apartment.

Thank you.

Noel, we can make this
work. I know we can.

And I know that you think I
want to be with ben, but I don't.

He's done terrible things to me.

He's done terrible
things to you?

My point is, I want
to be with you.

You have no idea what I've
gone through to be with you.

I never thought that I
would say this to you...

It's just... Felicity,
it's not the right time.

Noel, now is the only time.

I'm sorry.

- I should go.
- Wait! Noel...

Okay. Listen to me.

Noel, this is going
to sound insane.

But remember when I said

That you have no idea what I
went through to be with you?

That's because...

I am not here like
you think I'm here.

I mean, I'm here, but...

I came from the future.

- Excuse me?
- I traveled back in time

So I could be with you.

Well, that's a long...
That's a long trip.

- I'm serious.
- Okay.

I came back the night
before your wedding.

- My wedding?
- Yeah.

You were... Or are... Or will
be... Marrying this girl named zoe

Who I know you don't know, but
she works in this graphics house

Where you're gonna get a job.

Anyway, my point is,

Meghan did this spell so I could
come back here and be with you.

- You don't believe me.
- No. I mean yes, I believe you.

- I believe you, felicity.
- No, you don't.

I do. Do you believe you?

Yes. Noel, I am
not making this up.

I know that. I was
just checking.

I should go. I have
to get to my new job,

Which, you know, you knew about.

- See?
- Right.

So I'm gonna think about this.

You know, about
what we talked about.

And thank you for this.
It's really... It's great.

Um... Okay.

Bye.

- Borrowed your camera.
- Fine.

- It's for my photography class.
- I said fine.

What bug crawled up your butt?

I just destroyed five years
of friendship with noel.

Okay. You've only
known him three.

Oh, I forgot about
those time travel years.

I told him I came from the
future and now he thinks I'm crazy.

Yeah. If I were you, I wouldn't go
around blabbing that to everybody,

Especially someone like noel.

- Meghan, I need to get back.
- Not this again.

Korsakoff can't be the only guy
who's written a time travel spell.

There has to be something. Even
if it just gets me near the future.

All right.

- There is this one book.
- Great. Give it to me.

Hold on. This is hardcore wicca.

There's blood and
guts. And not just yours.

I'm not sure you can handle it. I
used it once. I still have a scar.

I'm desperate. Where
should we set up?

You're on your own
with that sucker.

So freshmen year, when you
and felicity went cross country,

What was your
most favorite place?

I don't know. It was all fun.

Well, I know I'm gonna
go to dollywood.

- I'm sorry. What's that?
- Dollywood.

It's dolly parton's theme park.

Right. Yeah, we must
have just missed that one.

That's your loss, it's
supposed to be amazing.

- I'll send you a postcard.
- Okay, thank you.

Man, that road trip
was such a long time ago.

Yeah, it was.

- What?
- Uh...

No, I was just thinking...

Look, you can totally say no.
But maybe I could come with you.

What about school?

I don't know. This whole pre-med
thing isn't really working out.

I just failed another test
and my professor hates me.

- You're gonna drop out?
- Well, I'm gonna come back.

But when I know what I want
to do. I don't know right now.

I would love for you to come.

Yeah. My god, it would be great
to have a friend to do this with.

- Hey.
- Hey, man.

- What you doing?
- Planning a road trip.

That sounds like fun. Can
I talk to you for a minute?

Yeah.

Oh. I have to go anyway because
I have go see a guy about a car.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- I'll see you later.
- Okay.

So, what's up?

- Have you talked
with felicity lately?
- No. Why?

Uh...

I think that she's doing dr*gs.

- I'm not... I'm not kidding.
- Noel, she's not doing dr*gs.

- Well, there's
something going on.
- Like what?

Like she keeps saying
she traveled back in time.

- What?
- She said she was
at my wedding.

In the future, I marry
some girl I don't even know.

- She was obviously joking.
- She wasn't. There's something wrong.

It's open.

I'm in here.

Hey.

- Who d*ed?
- Hmm?

Oh, these. You know how it is with a
new boyfriend. They always spoil you.

- A new what?
- Here.

- What's this?
- It's your stuff.

Three socks, the toothbrush, a
speedstick and your tae bo video.

Okay, wait. This
is all I had here?

No, there was more. I threw
it out. It's time to start over.

- Wait. Who is this new guy?
- Paul.

- I call him sweetie,
he's so sweet.
- What is he, a florist?

I love these.

- Oh, would you get that?
- Sure.

- Meghan rotundi?
- Look at that. More flowers.

Great. Just what
she needs. Thank you.

- Hold it.
- What? Hey, what are you doing?

It's for my photography
project. Oh, sunflowers!

God, he's so funny. We have
a joke about sunflowers.

He's so funny! Look,
you want to read it?

- No, I don't. I'm gonna go.
- Okay.

- Oh. Don't forget your stuff.
- Thanks.

Thank you.

A little easy on the cuticles,
honey. Clean them, don't butcher them.

Hello. Anybody here?

Don't these fans understand
I need my private time?

- Hey, baby.
- Don't "hey, baby" me.

- You told me you had rehearsal.
- I did?

You said you couldn't help me
with my spanish exam because of it.

- Oh, that's right, I did.
- You were lying to me?

Not technically.

After all the favors I've done
for you, you couldn't do one thing!

It appears you don't
understand something.

Opening night is next
week and I'm the big star.

Oh, I understand. I just
hope that it's worth it.

You've already lost a husband,
now you're losing a friend.

Hold that polish.

- Elena.
- What?

- Did you do that?
- Do what?

Take the money out of
the register. It's all gone.

- No, I didn't take the money.
- We've been robbed, then.

What do you expect? You're back
there getting a manicure, you big star.

What ever happened
to the honor system?

"I in she, she in me

"Aphrodite of the sea

"Drop my blood into the potion

"Set this time travel
spell in motion."

Ow.

- Oh, my god. You scared me.
- Sorry. I'm sorry.

- Uh... How are you feeling?
- Okay.

Good. Good.

I haven't uh... Seen
you in a couple of days.

- Noel talked to you, didn't he?
- Nope.

Yes, he did. He talked to me.

He's a little...
Well, he's worried.

He says you're talking
about time travel.

I knew he didn't believe me.

So, it's true. You are
talking about time travel.

Yes. I came from the future to be
with noel and now I'm trying to get back.

- Right.
- I've thought about this,

How I can prove to you
that I'm telling the truth.

- Call your dad.
- What?

He's sick. He'll be okay but
he's having liver problems.

Your mom saves his life.

And there's this woman,
lauren. He's her aa sponsor.

Just call him so that you
know I'm not making this up.

I gotta get back to this, but
please, don't forget to call.

I won't. I'm gonna call him.

- Noel.
- Hey, did you talk to her?

- Yeah.
- And?

You were right. There's
something going on.

- I know. Check this out.
- Okay.

- It's the criteria
for psychosis.
- What are you talking about?

Just listen to this.

"Criteria a. The presence of
delusions, which are fixed, false beliefs,

"Not shared with members of the
individual's culture or religion."

- She's got that.
- Yeah, she's got that.

"Criteria b. Onset usually
occurs before the age of 25."

- Man, yeah.
- It least she doesn't
have criteria c.

"Grossly disorganized and
bizarre speech and behavior."

Actually, when I just saw her,

She was pricking her finger
with a needle and she was chanting.

What?

She's trying to do a spell
to get back to the future.

So basically, she
fits all the criteria.

Yes, she does.

What do we do?

I have no idea.

Coming.

Hey.

What's going on?

Can we talk to you?

Sure.

- Did you call your dad?
- Yeah, I did. He wasn't home.

But I left him a message.

Okay, before we get started, we want
you to know how much we care about you.

Yeah. And we are on
your side no matter what.

Yes.

It's just, we've been...

We've been talking about this
whole time travel business.

- And we're worried about you.
- Well, don't be. I'm fine.

I'm sure you are. But what
would you think if you were us?

I would think I was nuts. I know,
you guys, it sounds impossible.

But it happened. It's
real. It's absolutely real.

- What if it just seems real?
- What?

We brought this for
you to take a look at.

You guys think
this is psychosis?

We just... We just want
you to talk to someone.

I really... I shouldn't
have come here.

I just got talked
into it by my friends.

Why don't you tell
me what's going on?

If I do, you'll just think
I'm crazy too. I mean...

Okay, maybe I could
tell you hypothetically.

Okay.

What if I thought...

Hypothetically, uh...

That I'd... Traveled
back in time?

What would you say to that?

I would say that it
must be very scary.

And then I'd ask you
how it affected your life.

Well, it's affected everything.

How?

Uh...

At first I guess I thought it was fun,
knowing what was going to happen.

But now I'm just...

- In a panic.
- About what?

About not being able to
get back to my real life.

I mean, that's what
I've been trying to do.

Maybe I could
help you with that.

- Hey.
- Hi.

So, are you getting
ready for your road trip?

- Yeah.
- It's great that
you're doing this.

You've been wanting to
road trip since freshman year.

- Sean, are you okay?
- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm great. Never better.

Okay. I'm gonna go
put these in ben's room.

- What do you think
of this guy paul?
- Oh, meghan's new...

Do you think he's
rich? He's probably rich.

I have no idea. I
haven't met him yet.

Probably really
good-looking, too.

- Don't know.
- Doesn't matter.

What am I going to do? Compete
with a rich, good-looking guy?

Why not? You guys had
something really good together.

Yeah. We did. Till I wrecked it.

Sean, this is about
you and meghan.

If you're lucky enough to find
somebody you're great with,

I wouldn't let them go.

You're really gonna
do this trip with julie?

Yep.

Hi. How is she?

She's fine, but she's gonna have to stay
here for a few days so we can watch her.

- Can I see her?
- Sure.

- Is that okay?
- Yeah, yeah, of course.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

- They think I'm crazy.
- No, they just
want to watch you.

What do you think? Do you think
what happened to me was real?

Or... I mean, am I sick?

I want to believe
it's real. I really do.

- But...
- It's crazy.

The important thing... The only thing that
really matters... Is that you get better.

Yeah. Maybe this
is the only way.

I'm scared.

I know.

- I'm gonna need your shoes.
- What?

And your jewelry. You'll get
them back when you're discharged.

In the meantime, you
should wear these.

I also need to check to see if
you're wearing a belt or any strings.

Oh. No, no belt.

Thank you.

Ok. Now the rules.

Pretty simple. No
hitting, biting or spitting.

- Biting?
- Some patients
get out of control.

We might need to use restraints.
If you see that, just stay calm.

Meals are served
three times a day.

There's a payphone down the hall.
Use your own money or call collect.

I guess that covers everything.

- Let me know
if you need anything.
- Thank you.

- You locked her up?
- What would you have done?

I don't know, something crazy,
like support her, be her friend.

She's not hurting anybody.

Meghan, she was dripping her
own blood into a boiling pot.

- That is part of the spell.
- Exactly.

She's doing spells.
That's bizarre behavior.

That's a criteria for psychosis.

My god. This is like
the salem witch trials.

I'm surprised you didn't
just burn her at the stake.

- We were just
trying to help her.
- Some help.

If the next time you
see me, I'm not smiling,

Try not to hospitalize
me for depression.

Zoe? What are you doing here?

- I'm sorry. Do I know you?
- Oh, my god. It is you.

No. Sorry. You don't know
me... Yet. My name is felicity.

Hi.

- Do I look familiar
to you at all?
- No.

- Why? Have we met?
- That's a really
tough question.

This is gonna sound crazy. Well,
maybe not, considering where we are.

But you're going to be engaged
to a really great friend of mine.

- Patrick?
- Noel.

I don't know any noel. I think you've
got me confused with someone else.

No. You're zoe webb, right?
Your father's dominic webb.

- He runs webb group graphics.
- How do you know all this?

Uh... It's hard to explain.

But just this, your being
here, is proof that I'm not crazy.

- Look, I really have to go.
- I understand.

Thank you, though.
This really helped.

- Hello?
- Zoe's here.

- Felicity?
- You don't know her
but you will.

She marries noel and her father
dominic runs webb group graphics.

I wouldn't know any of that
if I hadn't been in the future.

- Hello?
- Yeah. I'm here.

- So, it's proof.
- Okay.

- You don't believe me?
- No, I do.

- But maybe this is
part of the illness.
- But I saw her. She's here.

I know, but remember the criteria.
Isn't that one of the symptoms?

What, so you think i...

You think she was a
hallucination or something?

I don't know.

- Maybe you should
talk to the doctor.
- Uh-huh.

Look, why don't you
try and get some sleep?

Yeah, okay.

Felicity, it's going
to be all right.

No, I know. Sorry to bother you.

- Good night.
- Good night.

♪ High and low

♪ But only then

♪ Will I know

♪ How we fell from grace

♪ Will we ever leave this place?

♪ I believe

♪ I believe...

Hi.

Yeah. Yeah, this is he.

I'm sorry. What did
you say your name was?

Noel. Noel, wake up.

- What?
- Wake up.

What are you doing in my room?

Some woman named lauren just
called me. She said my dad is sick.

Wow. Uh... I'm sorry. You
want to talk about it?

Felicity was right. She said
this was going to happen.

She said dad would have liver
failure. How could she know that?

- There's got to be
an explanation.
- Like what?

- Maybe her parents found out.
- No, lauren didn't
tell anybody.

I know you want to believe
her. Trust me, I do too.

I think I do believe her.

- Come on. Are you sleepwalking?
- No, I'm not sleepwalking.

You know what?
Just go back to sleep.

You actually believe that felicity
traveled back in time? Come on.


Yeah, I guess I do.

Sign here.

Good luck, zoe.

- You're going home?
- Finally.

Hey, uh... I'm sorry
about yesterday.

I guess I've been a
little panicked lately.

Look, when I first got here,
I was really scared too.

- It gets better.
- It does?

Yeah. A lot.

Zoe. Your father's here.

Okay, I'll be right there.

So this guy noel. Is he cute?

He's very cute. And you
two are happy together.

Good. I could use
some happiness.

- It was nice meeting you.
- You too.

Hey.

- Oh, my god! It's so good to see you!
- Sit, sit, sit.

- What's going on?
- Look, um...

Lauren called me last night.
My dad is sick. You were right.

- What?
- I believe you.

You do?

- I can't explain,
but you're not crazy.
- Oh, my god.

I am so sorry for putting you in
here. I didn't know what else to do.

- What are you doing?
- I'm gonna get you out of here.

- Come on.
- What?

It's room 465.

Open up. It's nurse
gregory. Come on.

Come on. Open up. It's okay.

It's all right.
Come on. Let us in.

Come on.

- Name?
- Javier quintana.

- Age?
- I am 29 years old.

Okay, I'm 33.

- And you are the manager
of this store?
- Yes.

And on the day of the robbery,
how long were you in the back room?

Not more than a minute or two.

What are you writing?
Ask me that one again.

- Everything's fine.
- I want to do over.

There are no do-overs
in lie detection.

But it thinks I'm lying and
you're gonna b*at it out of me.

Let me save you the trouble
on this, okay, sipowicz?

I'm guilty. I was in the back getting
manicure when the whole thing went down.

So arrest me. I'm a
criminal. I'm guilty of vanity.

- Throw all the books at me.
- Sir, you're
embarrassing yourself.

- Oh.
- We want to know
if you took the money.

Oh, no. Of course I didn't.

Hey, look at that.
It didn't move.

- What the hell are those?
- Silk flowers.

All these, they're all gonna
die. Okay? Not these babies.

Silk. They'll last forever.

- What's your point?
- Have dinner with me.

I can't. I have plans with paul.

- Come on. You can't be
serious about this guy.
- Uh, yeah. I am.

Really? Paul? I mean, look around. He's
clearly overcompensating for something.

Do you think the only guys I
can get are one-balled losers?

No. No, no, no. All I'm saying is,
you're on the rebound, okay?

It makes you overlook
certain things.

You know what? I just
thought of something.

- We should go
to dinner together.
- Really?

Yes. First I have to do this
presentation for my photography class.

Paul was going to help me but with
this whole arm thing you'd be better.

Oh, god, he's got an arm thing?
That's terrible. I'd love to help.

Okay. It's at three o'clock.
- 00.

It's gonna be so much
better with you there.

I feel like any minute guys in white
lab coats are gonna come drag me away.

I'm not gonna let that
happen. Don't worry.

So, tell me.

What uh... What happens
to us in the future?

You came back for noel. Why?

- Because you cheated on me.
- What?

- It's a long story.
- Felicity, I would
never cheat on you.

But you did.

After I slept with noel,
you wouldn't forgive me.

You ended up with lauren.

So I cheated on you with lauren?

No. I mean, not exactly.

It was uh... With claire.

Claire? Who's claire?

This girl that you met once we
got back together in palo alto.

You kind of followed me
there after graduation.

We were doing our last
year of pre-med together.

- I was still pre-med?
- Yes.

That's what I keep telling
you. That you can do this.

Anyway, that's when things
started to unravel for us,

And, uh...

One day I walked
in on you and claire.

That was pretty much the end.

I don't know what to say.

That's okay. I mean, it's not
exactly a normal situation.

No, it's not.

Felicity, I'm sorry.

But you're here now
and I haven't cheated.

And I'm not going to. Not
with claire or anyone.

Not ever.

- Really?
- Really.

My project is called
retribution: when love curdles.

First slide, please.

This is me after my boyfriend
dumped me out of the blue

For another girl he
hadn't seen in over a year.

Slide, please.

This is my boyfriend... My
ex-boyfriend... Asleep... Alone.

Because the girl he dumped me
for can't stand him. Huh! Big surprise.

Note. He drools.

Slide, please.

- Slide, please!
- Hey.

This is my ex holding flowers
given to me by my imaginary boyfriend.

- Imaginary boyfriend?
- Duh.

You can't leave yet.
There's still the q&a.

- This is mean.
- And dumping me
for julie was nice?

I never set out to hurt you.

Why don't you run
crying to julie?

You better hurry before she
leaves on a road trip with ben.

Have fun with your
fake boyfriend.

I hope you get married
and have imaginary kids

And live in never-neverland.

I hope so too, then I'll
be far away from you.

Not far enough for me.

Felicity, is that you?

- Hey.
- Hi. You look good.

- She was gone for like a day.
- I know. I think she looks good.

Hi.

- Noel's called like 100 times.
- He said you busted her out.

- Are you some superhero?
- She didn't need to be there.

I could have told you that.
Oh, wait, I did tell you that.

Do you want anything?
Tea or cookies or...

- Or would you rather lie down?
- You guys, I'm fine.

Yeah. Can you guys
give us a minute?

Oh. Uh... Yeah.

If you need
anything, we're here.

Boy, that ben. He's a sucker
for a damsel in distress.

- They're just
excited to see you.
- Yeah, I know.

But you do look good.

You do.

Yeah.

It's noel.

I should talk to him.

- I brought you
cookies just in case.
- Thank you.

Hey, it's ben.

What are you doing? A summer of
e.m.t. Training doesn't make you a doctor.

Noel, calm down. It was
the right thing to do.

The hospital wants
you to bring her back.

- No. I'm not doing that.
- Let me talk to her.

- Noel, come on.
- Just put her on the phone.

- She doesn't want
to talk to anybody.
- It's okay. I can talk to him.

- Hey.
- Hey. I don't know
what's going on,

But it doesn't sound
like a good idea.

Noel, I didn't need to be there.

Forgetting about us...

And everything, I just want
to make sure you're okay.

Noel, I am okay.

Mr. Crane, I don't want
to interrupt you, but...

- Just give me a minute.
- Is someone there?

Yeah, but it's okay.

Actually, let me call you back.

- He thinks I'm crazy.
- He's just worried about you.

- I have to go back, ben.
- To the hospital?

No, to the future. I
can't stay here any more.

Everyone thinks
I'm out of my mind.

I don't. I don't think
you're out of your mind.

- Ben, I gotta go back.
- Why?

- Why don't you just stay here?
- Ben...

Everything that's happened
doesn't need to happen anymore.

We could do senior year all
over again and we could do it right.

Maybe...

Maybe you didn't
come back for noel.

Maybe you came back for us.

- Hey.
- Hi.

- I wondered where you'd been.
- I went to get the car.

- Is this it?
- Yep. Pretty unimpressive, huh?

It's all right.

Yeah. Looked a whole lot
better a couple of days ago.

- Look, julie...
- I was coming to say good-bye.

You leaving?

A friend of mine's
meeting me in nashville.

She's a dolly parton fan...

I think, you know, you
should stay here with felicity.

Be with her. She
needs you right now.

And you would totally not appreciate
dollywood and that would drive me crazy.

- Send me a postcard, yeah?
- Course.

- It's good to see you.
- Good to see you.

All right.

Yes!

Bye.

I'm trying to cancel
some earrings I ordered.

Is elena here?

I want them credited to my account.
I'm the sender. Yes, and the recipient.

I know the card
says paul korsakoff.

There is no paul
korsakoff. I made it up.

What?

What do you mean he has an
account there? Are you sure?

How are you spelling korsakoff?

- What is this?
- My elementary school
spanish book.

I thought it might be helpful. Oh, just ignore
the love poems to my teacher. Señor carlos.

So, guess what. I got fired.

- What?
- D&d is bye-bye.

That is so wrong. Those
tests don't mean anything.

They measure your
level of stress.

I guess my stress level is
okay because I passed the test.

They fired me for getting a
manicure. They're saying I'm negligent.

I guess I have been.
Towards everyone.

That test is wrong. I am a liar.
I lied to you, I lied to myself

That success is more
important than anything

And now I have no job, no samuel,
and misery is my only friend.

- Oh, javier, you still have me.
- How can i? You really forgive me?

Yes. As long as you help
me with my spanish test.

Okay. But it's been a long
time since señor carlos.

- How long?
- That is none of your business.

Do you think noel's avoiding
me? I mean, it's late. Where is he?

He's avoiding us both.

I'm gonna check my voice mail
and see if he left a message.

- Are you sure I get
an "a" in this class?
- Yes.

'Cause I don't understand
any of this crap.

My dad called again.

Now that I'm pre-med, I
swear he has me on speed dial.

- You want something to eat?
- No, I'm okay.

Hi. My name's felicity porter.

I got a message that an officer
trilling wanted to speak to me.

Hi, my name is felicity porter.

Yes.

I'm sorry. What?

That's what I thought you said.

Um...

Sure.

Okay.

I got you some
chips just in case.

What?

Noel's dead.

- What?
- I just talked
to the police and...

There was a fire in the administration
building, just like before.

Except this time he d*ed.

Are they sure it's noel?

They want us to go...

Pick up some of
his personal items.

Okay.

It's okay.
