Elena walks into the mailroom in her dorm. Blair walks in and says hello, adding that he left her a hundred messages. Elena says she doesn't want to talk to him. Blair asks what's going on, and whether she wants to get some food. Elena says, "I'm warning you. Walk away." Dude, listen to her. Blair doesn't, asking what's wrong now. Elena turns and decks him. Blair falls to the ground. Elena says, "I saw you. I saw you with her. Stay away from me." Elena walks off.
Felicity highlights some stuff in a book at Dean & Deluca as FVO says that it was a challenge to balance her school work, her work study job, her job at Dean & Deluca, and studying for McGrath's exam. Felicity tells Sally that she felt like everything was under control "until it happened." Javier walks up and asks Felicity if he looks thinner. He tells Felicity to look carefully, and does a slow turn. Felicity notices Todd walk in and asks if she can take her break now. Javier thinks that means he looks fat. Felicity says that Javier looks great, but that her friend is there. Javier tells her to ask Todd what he thinks. Felicity gives Todd a big hug. Todd says she looks great, and they sit down at a table. Todd asks if she minds if he just jumps in. Todd says, "I've come to kiss you." Felicity looks confused. Todd says that, at one time, they had a pretty intense relationship and almost kissed. Felicity's like, "We did?" Felicity says that she was only twelve. Todd says that he just wants one kiss. Felicity says that she has a boyfriend, Noel, and that their relationship is pretty serious. Todd says, "For once in my life, I'm disregarding logic. I'm taking this huge romantic risk." Felicity says that she's actually done that, and that it doesn't turn out the way you would expect. Todd stands up, but doesn't seem that upset. Felicity says it was good to see him again, and tells him to have a safe trip back home. Todd says that he came to New York to get that kiss, so he'll call her. Felicity looks kind of disgusted as Todd leaves.
Felicity and Elena sit in the lobby of their dorm and talk to a woman who took McGrath's seminar when she was an undergrad. The woman says that it's weird to be twenty-four years old and have one of the most profound experiences of her life behind her. Felicity can't believe that McGrath's seminar was that good. The woman says that McGrath "challenges you in ways you could never predict." Elena chuckles and says that McGrath also has "a sexy thing going on." The woman very seriously agrees. Felicity asks what they should expect from the exam. The woman starts listing off the topics and Felicity and Elena start taking notes. Felicity looks up from her notes and sees Todd standing in the doorway, waving goofily. She excuses herself and tells Elena that Todd is there.
