This episode is essentially the episode where Felicity jumps the shark and becomes a paranormal (melo)drama series, while the previous episodes of season 1 were smartly written, serious and bittersweet realistic college relationship drama material. Felicity, previously grounded and scientifically minded, now starts believing that her roommate is successfully working spells on her, which is incredibly far fetched and out of places in this show. Extraneous characters are introduced as romantic partners, only to be ignored for the rest of the show. This episode is filler heavy, unbelievable and a truly disappointing shift for Felicity.
If you don't want to see more ridiculous paranormal insertions, badly introduced characters, heavy handed character shifts, witchcraft and time travel, and the like, stop here and just rewatch season 1 again.moreless
