Felicity is in Dr. Toni Pavone's office, and the good doctor is blabbing about getting Dr. Morton to give Felicity a spot in some exhibition, or something like that. Then Dr. Pavone starts in about the big dry-cleaning bills that go along with smoking. She notices that Felicity doesn't really give a damn, and she asks her what's wrong. Felicity tells her about getting drunk and waking up with a stranger. Toni says, "I'm guessing that you understand how completely moronic - - " Felicity interrupts her and says that she knows. Toni then asks if perhaps Felicity was slipped a roofie. Felicity exclaims that she hadn't even thought of that. Hey, that's what I thought last week! Good call, Dr. T. Felicity concedes it could have happened, and says she's trying to find out what happened when she blacked out. She wonders how she's going to tell Ben. Toni doesn't think that Felicity should tell Ben anything until she knows what happened, but she should abstain from sex. Here's where I have to disagree. I think Felicity should tell him. She should've told him from the start. Dr. Pavone thinks that Felicity only wants to tell Ben so that she won't have to shoulder all of the guilt. I think honesty is the best policy, especially when practically everyone else in your social circle, except for your boyfriend, knows what happened. According to Dr. Pavone, "Honesty is not the most important thing in a relationship. The most important thing is to be kind. Honesty, in some cases -- like this one -- is unkind." Well, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. Felicity sits there looking stunned.
At Epstein Bar, Ben is excitedly telling Felicity that if you view "the history of the world as one hour," human beings have only been around for seven seconds. Felicity says, "I'm so glad you're likin' that class." Ben asks if she wants a refill, and he goes up to get one. Felicity notices a bunch of guys walking in, one of whom is Randy. He sees her and comes over to talk to her. He says that he didn't lose the game to see her topless, and she tells him that she can't remember much. He tries to jog her memory with tales of "dancing in Marcus' room," but the fog doesn't lift for Felicity. She spies Ben making his way back to the table, and she asks Randy to drop the subject. When Ben arrives, she introduces him to Randy as her boyfriend, and then she drops the drink that Ben has just handed her. Randy just stares as they fumble around with the glass, and Felicity says that she knows Randy from epistemology, which produces an even more clueless look on his face. Randy probably thinks that it's a pre-med course. Ben asks how he did on the test that morning. Randy stammers, "It was okay." Randy says he has to get back to his table, and he and Ben both say, "Nice to meet you." After Randy walks away, Felicity tries to regain her composure.
