4. Regarding why Felicity broke up with Ben… I think it’s too simple to say she broke up with him because for right now his life is in order and hers is not. I don’t think that’s what’s going on. I feel like once again they did not work through anything at the end of S3, combined with her life in general being unstable in many areas, and add in the fact that she cheated so she broke up with him due to guilt over what she did. I think it’s a matter of punishing herself and doing something that Ben would have done regardless once he found out she cheated. And I can’t even imagine what it’s going to be like once he does find out. She needs to tell him.
So basically how I analyze the break up is Felicity confronted Ben on Janet and of course Janet kind of was into Ben but he told her he had a girlfriend, and was not interested... it feels like Felicity wanted Ben to say they kissed or he messed up because it would absolve her from the guilt of sleeping with Noel almost.. like an eye for an eye, we’re even. When Felicity found out he was so faithful she completely freaked out and broke up with him. She looks like she cannot stand being around him right now because the guilt and pain consumes her too much. That is why she broke up with him. I just hope she has the courage to tell him that she cheated very soon. It is not fair to just break up with him without being completely honest. You are already hurting him, Felicity by breaking up with him... he deserves to know the truth about what you did with Noel. Only then will you be able to start to heal together.

I honestly think the writers forgot about the avery angle and really wanted to play with the triangle again. Even if you take in the avery stuff. I think 4A Felicity is SO MUCH WORSE THAN anything involving avery. I think while she was leaning on Noel as a friend she didn't think he was an option until he kissed her. Most people would cut off the friendship right there. I don't think she is in love with Noel, but loves the idea of having him as an option if things with Ben don't work out. That in and of itself is wrong. It would be like Ben still having contact with Avery after everything that happend between felicity/avery/ben. I also think that she was a tool to make this stupid triangle happen again. But, I do think that 402 was the end. The rest is Noel just being a psycho.
