Everwood - JB (E/M) #5: In Our Hearts, They're Still Together

by _Leikela_ (Rachel)

Welcome to the fifth Jailbait appreciation thread. Feel free to show your love for the Ephram/Madison coupling here.

Our shortened ship name is in honor of the shoutout to us in Unfinished Business.

October 20 is our OFFICIAL commemoration date of our favorite couple. The date was chosen based on the original airdate of the first Jailbait kiss in Blind Faith. We will always remember...

"A heart is a fragile thing. That's why we protect them so vigorously, give them away so rarely, and why it means so much when we do. Some hearts are more fragile than others. Purer, somehow. Like crystal in a world of glass, even the way they shatter is beautiful." - Last Looks

New thread and new festivities, yay! :: starts to chow down on takeout :: I'll be back for the campfire chat questions and with a free presents as well. Yay for October 20!

Candace, studying Jesus in a tent with Bright? Not going to get much done, eh?

sporty711 · 10-17-2004, 06:00 PM

Yay partay time!!! Great pics Candace!! Thanks for all your hard work that went into this!!

My favorite E/M make-up moment would have to be when she wrote Ephram the lyrics to the song and she made him close his eyes in the garage. It was soooo cute when she put her arms around him!

and then she kisses him

and then he plays the song for her, but realizes it really does suck ect.

and then she kisses him IN FRONT OF EVERYONE IN HER BAND

**heart melts**

MissCongeniality · 10-17-2004, 06:20 PM

Thanks, Rach.

I love your choice for favorite make up moment. Very cool.

Kim, I saw your video, but I couldn't hear the song. Maybe I dl'ed it wrong. Thanks for the contribution.

Judy, you know me too well. Bright is one distracting fellow. There's no way around me getting this stuff done though, so if any of you ladies would like to take him off my hands for a little while please do.

Will try to set aside some time to choose my faves and post them later this week. Looking forward to reading more responses.

Happy anniveersary, guys!

Nautica7mk · 10-17-2004, 11:28 PM

Suuuweeeet!!!!

I'll toast to that.

Nadia

DipsyDoodle · 10-17-2004, 11:30 PM

Hmm..It's not working?? oh wow, that totally sucks! I'm not sure, i thought everything works. I'll see whatsup.

Ok, i'm in with this favourite things.

Kiss: When Ephram was outside near his car and Madison came out...he said that she was scared to be with him or something like that...and he kissed her and he said "i thought so"..that was good.

Episode: Gotta be Just like In the Movies.

NN for Ephram: "skippy" lmao

Make-up moment: this one is easy...when she decided not to bbysit Delia anymore because Dr.Brown caught them making out...she burnt herself with water and he came to help her out..the look they gave each other was heart wrenching!..and that night, ephram went to her door and said the.."i only have two friends..." thing. and they kissed and made up.

pre-JB: When she looked at him playing the piano in the garage. Gosh, you can feel it..she totally dug him. She was soo not looking at him playing..she was just looking AT HIM!

sporty711 · 10-18-2004, 12:13 AM

omg there are way too many great e/m moments!!!

kiss: it's a tie between all of them-the saddest one being the last **tear**

another make-up moment for me: in controlling interest, when he brought the pizza and said "well, you can't eat flowers" and then she said "you've got a lot to learn" and then she turned the corner and there were flowers on her door step and he said "I'm a quick study"

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

MissCongeniality · 10-18-2004, 05:39 PM

That is a gorgeous cap! (Some of them I've never seen before.

) I loved that make-up scene too.

EPHRAM: Figured I'd skip the saga of unreturned phones calls and just ambush ya.
MADISON: With pizza?
EPHRAM: Well, you can't eat flowers. This is the more practical peace offering.
MADISON: You have a lot to learn.
[Madison walks past Ephram toward the front door and sees the flowers Ephram bought by the door and stops.]
EPHRAM: I'm pretty quick. Look, I have a feeling I screwed up. Just wanted to be sure.
MADISON: Be sure.

The other one has to be the scene after their blowout at the dinner table about Jay in Last Looks. So sad that they were still broken up after that.

Wordless moment: the two or three seconds that they were holding hands after Madison burned her hand on the stove in Unhappy Holidays. The look they exchanged had enough heat to cook that entire dinner.

Dialogue exchange:
[Cut to The Point. Ephram and Madison are sitting in his car, overlooking the town.]
EPHRAM: So I-I though of a bright side.
MADISON: Oh, yeah.
EPHRAM: Um, hmm. The condom didn't have a chance to break.
[Madison laughs.]
MADISON: You know what we need?
EPHRAM: I still miss my pride.
[Madison laughs again.]
MADISON: We need a song.
EPHRAM: Well, I already wrote you a song. It didn't work out so good, remember?
MADISON: I mean a radio song, dumbass.
[Ephram looks away.]
MADISON: That way whenever you hear it you get this goofy grin on your face and you can go "ah, that's our song" and people make fun of you.
EPHRAM: Yeah, one problem. We never agree on music.
MADISON: Fine, I'm putting on the radio. Whatever's on, that's it. You in?
EPHRAM: We could end up with a shaving jingle?
MADISON: Um, hmm.
[Madison turns on the radio to station 92.1 – country station. A country song comes on and Ephram and Madison laugh at it.]
MADISON: OK, bad idea.
EPHRAM: No, what are you talking about. It's the perfect anthem for youthful misguided longing.
MADISON: Best two out of three.
[Ephram nods in agreement. Madison turn to a pop station. They laugh again.]
MADISON: One more time.
[Madison turns to 97.5 – a rock station. Madison laughs again. Ephram looks at her with longing.]
EPHRAM: Give up.
MADISON: Never.

My favorite kisses were their first and last. Both heart fluttering and unexpected.

My favorite pre-JB moment would have to be when Ephram fired Madison in East Meets West. Too funny.
Favorite nickname for Ephram: Cowboy (No Sure Thing)

JB episode: Our pioneer episode- Blind Faith
Ephram's- Burden of Truth and Madison's- Last Looks...finally her POV!

Line about JB not uttered by E/M:
EPHRAM: Is that your not-so-subtle way of telling me to forget Madison?
DR. BROWN: No, you're never going to forget her.

OK, I'm done. I hope you all keep this thing going. I should get back to work now.

BeautifulDisaster · 10-18-2004, 10:26 PM

Favorite heart-wrenching moment: Last Looks at the beginning when Ephram goes to Madison's house to get her to come back because of Delia. She is all flustered and says "You're here to get back together with me aren't you?" Then at the end of that scene they do this little awkward dance so they don't touch each other, knowing that if they do they'd be in trouble (who would've loved to see that? I WOULD!! haha). As Ephram is passing her, she turns and looks as he walks out the door. Then after she shuts the door she puts her hand on her face and her breathing is heavy, and out the window you see Ephram standing there looking back at her. My goodness... the emotions in that scene!

Favorite tear-jerking moment: The last scene in Last Looks. Nuf said. Also Madison's speech in Unfinished Business when they broke up... as she is getting up to leave, she tried so hard not to completely lose it. I'm tearing up just thinking about them. (a little tidbit about me... I'm a complete sap lol)

I'll be back for more later.

MissCongeniality · 10-19-2004, 02:06 AM

That episode on a whole made me cry. Powerful performances by Sarah and Greg. Love them!

BeautifulDisaster · 10-19-2004, 03:04 AM

I completely agree Candace!

I can't believe nobody has posted this song...

I Will Remember You by Sarah McLachlan

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard
But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to lose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories.

MissCongeniality · 10-19-2004, 03:07 AM
