TEXT: [Worthington <unk> Joey's English class. As Professor Wilder reads Joey's paper, the camera reminds us about the end kiss from Season 4.] Wilder: (reading) And then, just like that they were kissing. She didn't know how they got there. She had no idea. The thought of kissing this boy hadn't crossed her mind in years, which was weird, because once upon a time, that was all she ever thought about. And then, just like that, it was over. He coughed, she shuffled her feet... And she laughed to herself. It had been one of those moments, one of those moments where you shuck your status as mere mortal and achieve, however briefly, true greatness. She had shared many such moments with this boy, but now he was leaving and... Nothing would ever be the same again. (addressing the class) So, what do we think of Joey's story, guys? Alex? Alex: Incredibly banal. Wilder: Tell us how you really feel, Alex. Wow! Alex: It's a hallmark card about a high school crush. Who cares? Girl: Well, I thought it was brilliant. The way that she described the moment leading up to the kiss, I was right there with her. It's like Joyce Carol Oates meets...Judy Blume. Alex: You say that like it's a good thing. Wilder: Hey, let's not knock Judy Blume. Without her, my younger self would never have been able to decode the random acts of madness perpetrated by that marvelous creature known as the teenage girl. So, Miss Potter, I've got some good news and I've got some bad news. The good news is... Class is over. Today's torture has come to an end. Joey: The bad news? Wilder: You are obviously a writer... (He tosses her paper on her desk with a bright red <unk>C<unk> on the cover.) Which means the torture has just begun. (addressing the class) All right, everybody, I will see you next week. Alex, you're up next! I can hardly wait. [Hallway <unk> after class. Joey rushes after
