Felicity is wearing a bathrobe and brushing her teeth when Ben comes in to talk to her. Apparently, Felicity said that she wanted to see a play, so Ben got them tickets to see The Dinner Party but they're for that night. Since they obviously can't go because of Ben's injuries, he suggests that Felicity go with his dad. She tries valiantly to get out of it until Ben actually begs her to go.
Molly is braiding her hair in the bathroom when Meghan barges in to return the bottle of wine she got from her. Meghan tells Molly that she doesn't need it because Sean broke up with her. She complains about being "vulnerable and whatever" because she never does that. Molly replies that she'd gathered as much. Meghan takes a slug of wine and pronounces, "This is why I hate relationships."
In a booth at Epstein Bar, Knoll reads to Elena from one of Jane's e-mails. Jane told her friend that she wishes a guy would say, "This food is really good, but I'd rather be at home making love to you." Elena just glares at him. Knoll guesses that she thinks he's a monster, but instead she blurts out, "I cheated on Tracy." Knoll says, "What?" Elena elaborates, "With Finn." Knoll spits, "Finn?!? Elena, that boring little Tom Cruise wannabe, Finn-Finn? Ack!" Excuse me, Knoll, but Finn is hot and, therefore, not even in the same hemisphere as you and Tom "Broken Nose and Only Four Feet Tall" Cruise. Knoll calms down slightly and asks when the deed was done and whom else she's told. Elena says she's only told him. Knoll rips up his copies of Jane's e-mails and declares that they both have to tell the truth to Tracy and Jane. Elena points out that she has much more to lose, but Knoll insists that they can't carry around secrets any longer. He puts out his hand and says, "Deal?" Elena hesitantly agrees and shakes his hand.
Sean is wearing a yarmulke and reading in his hospital bed when Mr. Morgenstern reveals that he's a rabbi and that he thinks that Sean should propose to Meghan. Sean reads my mind and asks, "Are you a real rabbi?" Mr. Morgenstern does that "guiding light" thing I predicted he'd do, and he tells Sean not to go on a "crash diet with God" because "God's not a fad, He's a way of life." Sean nods and pretends to understand.
Tracy arrives at the girls' apartment, and Elena thanks him for coming over and asks him to sit down. She says that before she gets to the reason why she called him over, she wants to tell him that being his girlfriend "for the last year has been the most incredible experience." Before she can say much more, Tracy interrupts and simply will not let her continue. He takes out a piece of paper and explains that it took him "all of physics lab to write [it]" then reads, "Elena: E is for everything you do so well; L is for your long luscious legs and locks; E is for every time my heart flutters when you walk into a room; N is for never wanting to be apart; A is for always and forever. This is what you mean to me; this is how it will always be. My love for you is so, so strong. Right here is where I belong." Suddenly, I'm reminded of why I only ever dated liberal arts majors in university. Seriously, I guess the sentiment is sweet enough and my bitter English-major heart likely would have softened a bit if I had received an "M is for the many essays you proofread; A is for all the times you explained alliteration…" note. Tracy says, "Not bad for a biochem major, right?" Elena tearfully admits that no one has ever written a poem for her before. When Tracy asks what it was she wanted to tell him, she just says that she loves him. Tracy coos, "Love you too, baby. Don't you know it?"
