Felicity and Ben are sleeping in bed, all snuggled up. The phone rings. Ben rolls over and answers it. We only hear his end of the conversation, so we don't really know what's going on. Felicity asks, "What's going on?" Ben turns on the light and scrambles for a pen and paper. He writes a number down and tells the person on the other end that he'll be there as fast as he can. Felicity asks who it was. Ben explains that it was Lauren's sister, that Lauren's in Philadelphia, and she's also in labor. Felicity asks if he's going to go. Ben says he probably should. Felicity says that he probably has to. Ben agrees. Felicity offers to go. Ben says that he wants her to, but he should probably do this on his own, and he'll take the train. He kisses her. Felicity asks if he's going to be back for graduation, and Ben says that he will. They kiss some more. Ben asks, "Hey, what happened before, are we...?" Felicity says, "We're engaged." Ben kisses Felicity all over her face until she giggles, and then gets out of bed. Can I just say that if Keri Russell and Scott Speedman are not together in real life, they are the two best actors in the world? Ben leaves the room and turns the light back off. Felicity rolls over and appears deep in thought.
Sean and Noel are brainstorming ideas at Webb Graphics when Mr. Webb walks in and totally harshes their buzz. Mr. Webb announces that they lost CGG Group as a client, because they are cutting back. Mr. Webb says that the economy is killing everybody. Noel and Sean try to think of a way to make this into a positive, but Mr. Webb says that everyone is cutting back. He launches into a speech about how, after "a few bumps in the road," Noel and Sean's work has been outstanding, but he can no longer afford them. Sean says that he and Noel can do anything. Mr. Webb apologizes and leaves the room.
Noel and Sean walk down the street, carrying boxes filled with their office stuff. Sean's box has a chicken in it. Heh. Noel tries to be positive, saying that they have contacts and experience. Sean says that the team is staying together. Noel agrees, saying that they don't abandon the team. Sean tells Noel to put his box down, and demands that Noel bump his fist. Sean stands there, fist extended. Noel doesn't want to, and tells Sean to "put that guy away." Sean says, "This guy is not going anywhere until you give me a knock of defiance." Noel looks around and then gives Sean a fist bump. Sean tells Noel to stay positive. Seriously, I think that Scott Foley should join Greg Grunberg on Alias because those two work so well together. But maybe Scott Foley doesn't want to be on his wife's show. So J. J. Abrams should create a new show starring those two. They are great together. Also, Scott Foley directed this episode, and so far, he's done a great job.
