The fourth and final season of Felicity also represents the heroine's fourth and final year at the University of New York in Greenwich Village. Having had a falling out with her dad over "wasting" her education, Felicity vows to finance her senior year all by herself. She also hopes to get into an honors program -- and, failing to do so, she finds comfort in the arms (and bed) of her off-and-on beau Noel Crane (Scott Foley). Elsewhere, Felicity's other boyfriend Ben (Scott Speedman) has returned from EMT training in Kansas City determined to become a doctor; to no one's surprise, the marriage of Elena Tyler (Tangi Miller) and her fiancé Tracy (Donald Faison) doesn't come off, whereupon Elena launches a relationship with Ben's fellow pre-med student Trevor (Christopher Gorham); and to everyone's surprise, Ben's idealistic ex-roommate Sean (Greg Grunberg) weds Felicity's extremely eccentric ex-roomie Meghan (Amanda Foreman) -- with Felicity, an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church, performing the ceremony! In other developments, Noel uses a huge inheritance from his ex-wife to arrange for Felicity to get an assistant teaching position and to start his own web-design business with Sean. That business is swallowed up by Webb Graphics, and shortly afterward, Noel begins a relationship with Zoe (Sarah Jane Morris), his new boss's daughter. Also, Ben has a fling with Lauren (Lisa Edelstein), his dad's former mistress -- and subsequently agonizes over the fact that Lauren is pregnant. And finally, despite resorting to cheating to get a term paper done, Felicity finally graduates, as Ben moves to Arizona to be with his new "family." Interrupted by a four-month hiatus, season four resumes as Sean and Noel go back into private business again, spooky Meghan gets a job as a psychiatrist, and Ben -- minus Lauren and the baby -- comes back into the life of Felicity, now in pre-med at Stanford University. When Elena is killed in a car accident, Felicity spirals into a deep depression, breaking up with Ben in the process. Resurfacing at the wedding of Noel and Zoe, Felicity is given an opportunity, via a spell cast by the "bewitching" Meghan, to see what her life would have been like had she never broken up with Noel -- thereby setting the stage for the outrageous "double surprise" that brings Felicity to its riotous conclusion.
