Plot Outline:
Meghan uses Felicity as her guinea pig as she practices her spells. Felicity doubts Meghan's powers, until she suddenly becomes very clumsy and forgetful, seeming as the result of the spells. Noel's friend Guy forces him to work on their group project outside a movie theater as he tries to secure tickets to "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace." Ben has to find a new way home to Palo Alto because he must use the money his mom sent for a plane ticket to pay off his gambling debts. Felicity finds him a man who is willing to pay him to drive his car to San Francisco. Felicity, Ben, Noel and Julie plan to drive across the country together. Noel learns that he cannot make the trip because his internship starts earlier than expected. He decides that he must take the internship, even though the separation may hurt his chances of reconciling with Felicity. Lynn's girlfriend continually makes passes at Ben. He turns her down, but breaks up with Julie because he feels stifled by the relationship. While working late at Dean & DeLuca, Felicity and Ben nearly kiss. Felicity lays the blame on one of Meghan's spells. Dr. McGrath treats Elena rudely in class in order to hide his attraction to her.
