In Knoll's dorm room, the seduction scene is set, with candles a-burning and soft music playing. In her own room, Felicity spritzes perfume into the air and walks through it; she then grabs a black bra and panty set out of a Victoria's Secret bag and examines them. Some time later, Felicity knocks on Knoll's door and asks whether she may come in. Knoll is all smiles. Felicity looks determined and not at all happy. She stomps in and does the blinder thing that Elena showed her, which prompts Knoll to ask what she's doing. In response, Felicity jumps on Knoll and starts kissing him furiously. She whips off her shirt and continues the kissing, pushing Knoll up against the wall. It should be noted that Felicity is not wearing a traditional bra, but a cute black camisole top. I don't know why it should be noted, but it's really cute. Knoll asks whether he can get her anything as she pulls off his clothes and her own. Felicity throws Knoll down on the bed, and he lands on a hairbrush. Once the brush is dispatched, Felicity gets on top of Knoll and continues kissing him. Felicity pulls a condom out of her top and hands it to Knoll, who asks whether they can slow down a little bit, so that he doesn't feel like this is being "nationally televised."
Just then, Knoll's door opens and Crazy Hair walks in, followed by a couple of other guys. Knoll grabs Felicity and rolls her over, then tries to shield her with his body so that the guys can't see her. The guys don't even have the decency to leave, and instead, just stand there and gape while Felicity and Knoll argue over why the door wasn't locked. Some doofus opens the door further, which of course knocks over a candle, which of course lights the dead tree on fire. The alarm starts going off. The intruding guys flee. Knoll yells out for nobody to panic, and insists to Felicity that they can still have sex. Felicity points out that the room is on fire as she crawls around on the floor, looking for her clothes. Doofus runs back in with a fire extinguisher and sprays the tree, putting out the fire. Felicity and Knoll cough and wave their hands around, trying to disperse the fire extinguisher detritus. Weird Hair points out that they have to evacuate when the alarm goes off. Knoll agrees and rubs his forehead. Throughout the entire scene, the soft music continued, creating an ironic counterpoint to the frenzied activity.
The next day, Knoll comes down to Felicity's room. Felicity says that she can't even look at Knoll, and that she was a freak. Knoll allows that Felicity was "a little aggressive." Felicity continues to talk about "the people, and the tree, and the fire." Knoll says that it wasn't what they had imagined. Felicity, her face in her hands, says that she wanted to "barrel through it and just get it over with." Knoll makes Felicity look at him. She peeks from between her fingers, and Knoll grabs her hands and pulls them off her face. Knoll opines that it needed to be a little more romantic. Felicity jokes, "What, sex by a roaring fire isn't romantic enough for you?" They both laugh. Knoll says that he got them a hotel room, and that the reservation is for tonight. Felicity says, "Tonight?" and looks apprehensive.
