Everyone is lighting more candles and walking around with flashlights. Knoll tells Avery about a "great place" from which they can see the stars, and offers to take her there. She patronises him with an "ah, that's sweet, but I'm okay here," complete with a pat on the cheek. She's making a call on her cellphone, and Knoll mutters that his backup plan was to stay there. She shushes him, and walks away. Richard flashes a light beam right in Knoll's eye and snarks, "She's like putty in your hands." Knoll orders Richard to "shut [his] piehole." Sean rushes up to Knoll to find out if his laptop is "recharged." Knoll says it is, and Sean goes off saying, "Okay, great." Does Knoll take that thing everywhere? Ben has moved out of Felicity's room and has crashed on the sofa. Felicity says that she thought he was studying, and he points out that it's difficult to do so without electricity. Feh, I say. It can't be harder than studying in a bar. Ben says that he's feeling better about the exam, which pleases Felicity so much that she suggests they sneak away without seeing the movie. Sean hears her and lets her know that he's not pleased with that comment. Sean boots up Knoll's computer and refers to him as a saviour. The apartment has several thousand more white pillar candles burning than the average cathedral, so I guess I can see Sean's confusion. He says that it'll only take a few minutes to set things up, and cautions Chris that it's "only a rough cut."
However, Meghan and Chris have disappeared again. They're in another room lighting yet more candles while Chris pours her heart out. Even though she's about to be married, she can't help thinking about Meghan and what might have been. Meghan is trying to put her off when Sean discovers them and orders them into the living room.
In the kitchen, Knoll is making what he calls "an everything sandwich" -- that is, everything from the fridge. He tells Elena that he's doing the girls a favour by using up everything from the fridge that would spoil. Meanwhile, she's draping herself around the kitchen, trying to show off her new and improved chest. When he finally notices, he points at her chest and says, "What is that?" Elena wonders if it's "too much," and Knoll thinks it would be appropriate if she were "nursing triplets." He maintains that he was joking. Richard wanders in, looking for popcorn. Elena sticks her chest under his nose -- almost literally, given their height difference. He asks whether she's cut her hair, and when she says she hasn't, he comments that she looks "different." She asks if he means "good different or bad different." He says he means "good different," and walks out of the room. This provides the proof Elena thinks she needs, but Knoll doesn't think she should "base anything on Richard." He commands her to "unenhance" herself. She says she may get implants, and he says he doesn't want to see her anymore.
