Now they are in the Security Office (or so the handy sign on the wall tells us). The guard asks them if they know how much trouble they are in, for breaking and entering and underage drinking. Ben tries to take the blame but Felicity says she didn't have to go with him. They look at each other as if that was a meaningful statement. Maybe it refers to their summer trip -- she didn't have to go with him? The guard gives them a look, like "Stupid kids." Ben says, "I'm sorry," and Felicity says, "Don't be." Ben can't believe she did it.
Felicity walks into her room to find Meghan on the phone, talking about her major. It turns out that Meghan is talking to Felicity's dad. Felicity takes the phone, but says she will call him back later. Meghan says the telescope rocks, and that she's been watching the psychos across the street. Felicity asks her if she's ever had a feeling where you see a different side of your parents, and they stop being parents. Meghan says, "Yeah, they become..." and Felicity finishes, "...people." Meghan says she learned that when she was five. Felicity tells her what just happened at the pool and notes that she is in real trouble, and that she might even get expelled. Meghan says that maybe Felicity's life will finally get interesting.
Ben comes home to find Sean still awake. Sean wanted to tell Ben he was right about what he said in the market. Ben thinks Sean is referring to his advice about Felicity, so he starts telling Sean how they broke into the pool and got caught, and that he hasn't had that much fun since last summer. Then Ben goes on to say that he's been stupid and that the fling with Maggie was just "a lame reaction to following your bad advice." Sean thanks him sarcastically, and says he was actually referring to Ben's statements about Julie, and asks if he should say something to her soon. Ben says he should, and asks where Julie is now. Sean says she is sleeping, after "a great time with that music jackass." Ben laughs.
Julie is running across the street with her guitar when she gets hit by a bus. Oh wait, that was last season and it was Todd. Julie makes it to the recording studio where a helpful tech informs her that Eric has a reputation as quite the ladies' man. Julie is so shocked she forgets to put on her headphones. I refuse to devote any more time to that storyline. Thankfully, they cut just before Julie was going to start "singing."
Ruby hears a knock and opens her door. It seems like no one is there, but then she sees a three-armed frog talking to her. Of course, it's Knoll. Ruby says, "What is it?" and Knoll says, "A peace offering." Ruby says, "No, I mean, what IS it?" and Knoll looks at it and says he doesn't know, but Elena made it. Ruby says it's cute, but she's still mad. Knoll apologizes and says he got lost up there. Ruby says that he is a great TA and he tells her that she's a brainiac. Nice to see a relationship based on lies, isn't it?
