Why cant we just keep making more episodes? Thomas asks Bell to which she replies, I think we should do shows withother people. Bell then tries to console Thomas. Rob, we shared the most intimate thing two people can share: a television series on UPN, she adds.
Thomas then chalks up her disinterest to the theme song. At the end of the teaser, Thomas shows up outside Kristens window with a boombox in the air like John Cusack in the filmSay Anything,blasting Hyndes gritty rendition of We Used To Be Friends.
