Krakow sits down at a table with Julie, Felicity, and Elena. He's all excited because some alumnus is coming to speak to his film class, and that Krakow's film was selected to be shown. Felicity congratulates him. Krakow says he knows it's a long shot, but apparently last year a sophomore got a movie deal in a similar situation. Elena grouses, "Don't get your hopes up." Krakow comments on her attitude, and there's an awkward pause. Krakow asks Julie whether she'll write some music for his movie. She agrees, and says that she's proud of him. They kiss, and Krakow leaves to do some work. Felicity gives Julie a look, and Julie says she knows that kissing in public is "like a statement." Elena asks whether they've screwed yet. Felicity is shocked and then apologizes to Julie, who admits that they haven't, but adds that she likes him. Felicity smiles at her, but then her face falls when she sees Ben in line to get food. Julie asks, "So what's going on? Are you and Ben..." Felicity fills in, "Screwing? No. Talking? No." Felicity excuses herself from the table.
Felicity walks up to Ben and asks whether he's not talking to her. Ben says that he's talking to her right now. Felicity invites him to sit at their table, but Ben says he's getting his food to go, and takes off.
While they listen to "Up On The Roof" for no apparent reason, Felicity talks to Knoll about the Ben situation. Felicity thinks that before the paper thing happened, something was developing between the two of them. Knoll pretends to listen, but distractedly taps his fingers on his leg. Felicity worries that Ben is ignoring her, and asks for any advice. Knoll doesn't respond at first, but then says there's something he has to do. After a pause, Knoll says, "I'm going to draw..." He stops, and Felicity encourages him to go on. Knoll says that he's going to draw a comparison between what she's going through and something that happened to a friend. Felicity brightens at this. Knoll pauses for a while and then advises Felicity to go to Ben's apartment and say that she left something there, and while they're looking for it, they'll have a chance at a conversation. Felicity smiles and gives Knoll a hug, telling him, "You are such a good friend. I can't stand it." Knoll rolls his eyes and replies, "Yeah, me either."
Felicity walks into her room, only to be immediately assaulted by Meghan, asking if Felicity touched her box. Ah, the box. Felicity doesn't know what Meghan is talking about, but Meghan is all upset because her box moved, and calls it an invasion of privacy. Felicity wonders why their room is a double, since it's big enough to be two rooms, and has two doors. Hell, it's big enough to house a small family. Meghan tells her not to change the subject, but Felicity says that there wouldn't be a privacy issue if there were a wall. Meghan announces that she's taking her box with her. Felicity asks her to please do that, but Meghan says that reverse psychology won't work on her, and leaves. With the box.
