Lauren and Felicity talk in the living room. Lauren asks gently if Felicity is the ex-girlfriend Ben talked about. Felicity smiles and says that she is. Lauren asks how long they went out. Felicity says that it was about a year and a half. Ben returns and joins them. Felicity says that Lauren said that Jack Tripper is doing well. Ben says yes, and then there is the awkward pause to end all awkward pauses. Felicity finally breaks it by standing and saying that she's going to help Meghan in the kitchen. I know that Ben is angry, but if he's so angry that he can't be civil, he shouldn't have showed up. It's not like he didn't know that Felicity would be there.
In the bedroom, Elena types away on her laptop, presumably working on her applications. Trevor enters and wonders why she hasn't joined the party. Elena quickly hides Meghan's quiz. Trevor hands her a flower, and they start kissing, and end up on the bed. Trevor says that he finished the Cliff's Notes. Elena looks thoughtful, and Trevor asks her what's wrong. Elena says that there are some questions on her application that she can't answer, like naming the planets between the earth and the sun. Trevor laughs that if those kinds of questions are on the application, he's a dead man. Actually, if he can't pass his classes, he's kind of a dead man anyway, but that's a whole different storyline. Elena asks if he knows the answer, and Trevor says that the answer is Mars and Venus, but he's sure that she can look it up online. Elena pulls away and says angrily, "That's not the point." For the rest of the episode, it really bothered me, because I thought that he was right, and I couldn't understand why Elena got so upset. I used the mnemonic that I learned in the third grade, "My Very Efficient Mother Just Served Us Nine Pies." Anyway, it wasn't until just now that I realized that the first M stands for Mercury. Oops. I guess I'm not smart enough to date Elena.
Noel and his bar chick walk down the hallway of a hotel together. They get to the door, and Noel tries to open it with the key card, but fails. The woman takes the card and opens the door. They enter the room.
Back at the apartment, everyone has sat down to dinner. Javier clanks his glass with his spoon, and stands to deliver a toast. He says that this may be their last Thanksgiving together. Sean asks if he's trying to bring down the room. Javier says, "We all know, especially with all the craziness in the world, that nothing lasts forever. Well, nothing but the love that we have for each other." Felicity and Ben both look thoughtful. Javier continues, "So forgetting all about our little soap opera, all the dramas, and I'm not pointing any fingers, let's all give thanks for each other." Everyone toasts and starts eating.
