Noel is tapping away at his laptop when Sean walks into the loft, rolling a rack of Schmegan shirts. Sean asks Noel how many clients his new graphic business has. Noel says that he doesn't have any. Sean tells Noel about this sporting goods store that needs a website. Sean was trying to sell them Schmegan shirts, with no luck, but he did get a lead for Noel, and they have a meeting this afternoon. Noel thinks it's great, and then realizes that Sean said, "We have a meeting." Sean thinks that Noel needs his help. Noel isn't sure about it, and worries that it'll affect their friendship. Sean suggests doing it on a trial basis, and promises Noel that it'll be huge. Noel seems somewhat enthusiastic about it.
Ben sits in his father's hospital room, watching a game on television. Jack Tripper asks Ben to turn the television off. Ben wonders if something is wrong, and Jack says he was wondering the same thing. It seems that Lauren came to visit that morning (she's still in town?) and told Jack that Ben and Felicity broke up. Ben looks disgusted, and Jack says that Ben shouldn't be mad at Lauren, because she didn't want to talk about it. Ben says that it's not that. Jack wants to know what happened. Ben shakes his head and pauses, and then admits that Felicity cheated on him. Jack says that Ben still loves her, and asks if Ben thinks that she'll do it again. Ben doesn't. Jack tells Ben that pride is a stupid reason not to see someone. Ben says that's not it. Jack asks what it is, then, and Ben doesn't know. Jack says he's been lying in bed for a long time, and has had a long time to think about mistakes that he's made. Ben doesn't really want to hear it, but Jack says emphatically, "Love someone. That's the only thing that really matters." Ben's mom bursts in and says she just talked to the doctor. Jack insists that they're not doing the surgery where Ben's mom can be a donor. Ben's mom says that's not what she was talking about; they've found a donor, in Philadelphia. Ben's mom and dad hug, and Ben watches them and smiles. A real smile.
Javier talks on the phone to Rita. Apparently, Rita was watching some videos alone and got depressed. Felicity, Elena, and Meghan listen in, amused. Javier promises to come over soon and ends the conversation. The girls start asking about his conversation. Meghan thinks they were supposed to watch porno together. Javier informs her that it's "a video-mating service." Felicity says she has to leave, or she'll miss her flight. She puts on her coat. Javier begs her to stay one more day and go to the dance. Meghan tells Javier to leave Felicity alone. Felicity hugs Elena and Javier goodbye. Meghan doesn't want a hug, because she's not good at goodbyes. Felicity leaves, telling her friends that she'll see them in a few weeks.
