Javier and Noel have returned to New York City, and are eating in Epstein Bar. Noel tries to cheer up Javier by discussing the Lionel Richie autograph, and when it doesn't work, he suggests that Javier just call Samuel. Javier says that he probably should, because he loves Samuel, and then says, "I don't know how you do it, Noel." Noel asks what he means, and Javier replies, "Live without the one you love." Ooh. I think that line is going to cause problems in the future, because Noel appears to be thinking it over. Just as Javier picks up the phone, it rings. Of course, it's Samuel, who apologizes. Javier starts cooing and explaining where he's been. Samuel doesn't believe that they met Lionel Richie. Javier starts arguing about it, and Noel points at Lionel's love advice. Javier says, "Honey, you're right," and then gives Noel a thumbs-up to indicate that it worked. Javier listens to what Samuel is saying, which apparently quickly turns into sex talk. Javier says, "I'm allergic to leather. No. Latex is okay." Noel starts protesting, and Javier gets off the phone.
Elena finds Felicity still in bed. Felicity looks miserable and says that she doesn't want to be a TA, because they sing the theme to "Miss America" when she walks into the room. Elena says that Felicity doesn't have to take that. Felicity thinks her students are right. Elena tells Felicity, "You have to stop apologizing for who you are and what you've done. You're not the first person to screw up on the way to figuring out who the hell they are. You gotta own your mistakes and get some strength from them." Now, that's the first good advice I've heard on this episode.
Felicity walks into her classroom, wearing her pageant evening gown. She admits that she was in a beauty pageant and asks whether there are any questions. The students remain silent, so Felicity says that they should get started. Just then, Jeremy Cavallo walks in. You know, the guy who was teaching that seminar that Felicity didn't get into? That guy. He asks Felicity what she's doing. Felicity says that she's the TA. He asks whether she always comes to class like that, or if it's a celebration of his first day. He's the new teacher. Felicity is embarrassed.
Meghan walks into a class and sits down. What is Meghan's major, anyway? ["I thought it was Psychology." -- Wing Chun] A girl comes in and sits next to her, dressed just like Meghan. Another girl walks in, also dressed like Meghan, and sits down. Meghan looks at them both in shock. Cut to the loft, where Meghan is throwing clothes down to the floor. Sean enters and asks what she's doing. Meghan walks down the stairs wearing her Jackie Kennedy outfit. Sean notes that Halloween is over. Meghan says that it's not a costume; it's her new look. Sean likes it, and Meghan tells him not to steal it. Sean looks at all the clothes on the floor, and holds a pair of pants up to himself. Heh.
