Felicity leaves a message for Tom Harris, the real estate guy that her mother mentioned. She hangs up and throws the phone down on the bed with a sigh, thinking. Suddenly, she stands up, grabs her portfolio, and races out the door.
Ben goes to the clinic to get the results of his paternity test. He's trying to be discreet, but the woman behind the counter practically yells out, "Oh, yeah, you want to find out if you're the baby daddy!" Anyway, she tells Ben that he is the father. Ben looks at the paper with the results on it for a minute, then folds it up and walks out.
Felicity walks into a gallery. She pulls out her slides and approaches the woman at the reception desk. Felicity gets the woman to look up and then introduces herself and asks if the woman will look at her slides. Before Felicity can finish her sentence, the woman coldly says that they aren't looking at new artists right now. Felicity persists, but the woman says that they just aren't interested and starts to walk away. Felicity yells at the woman to wait, then apologizes and desperately says that she's been to at least fifty galleries, and that none of them would look at her slides. The woman relents, and Felicity falls all over herself thanking the woman. The woman walks over to a light table and checks out exactly one slide before putting the slides away and handing them back to Felicity with a "thank you." Felicity realizes that they still aren't interested. Felicity thanks the woman for her time and walks out. That was kind of cool. On Dawson's Creek, Joey would have charmed the woman into looking at her slides, and then the woman would have offered her a million thousand dollars for just one Joey Potter original.
In acting class, Javier and Meghan are chosen to do their scene. They clearly are still fighting, as they glare at each other while walking to the front. However, this anger lends authenticity to their scene, and Javier, in particular, does an amazing job. The class applauds and hoots.
Ben knocks on Lauren's door. She lets him in. Ben walks in and says that it's crazy that Lauren knew she was pregnant for four months and is only now telling him, so she must want something. Lauren says she thought Ben might want to be a part of the child's life. Ben rolls his eyes and explains that he wants to go to med school, not raise a kid. Lauren says that Ben doesn't have to. Ben says it's crazy to think that he will have a kid out there that he'll never see. Lauren tells Ben that this is happening, and that it's his decision whether to be involved or not, but that she's made her decision already. Ben shakes his head and walks out.
