In the living room, Knoll tells Felicity that Elena "will be out in a minute." Sean asks whether anyone knows where Meghan and Chris are, because he's "only showing this movie to a capacity crowd." Then he barks at Felicity, who is drawing something, "Hey, hey, hey, you're not going to sketch through the entire movie, are you?" Knoll calls to Avery, who is down the hall looking into a compact mirror, to come on. She calls back that she'll be right there. Ben comes out into the hall to ask Avery about calling the guy she knows who can get him copies of the test. She is more than happy to oblige.
Meghan and Chris are seated outside the apartment in the corridor beside the elevator. Chris comments that Sean seems like a nice guy. Meghan groans, "Wait'll you get to know him, he is such a pain in my ass." There's an image I didn't need. Pass the LSD, please. They both laugh, and Chris says how good it is to see her. Meghan asks Chris how she likes her new look, and Chris says, "I think the Goth works for you." Meghan says that they should get back in, because Sean will be freaking out. Chris asks her to wait, and wonders, "Do you ever think about that summer anymore?" Meghan says, "Uh, yeah, whenever I hear the Macarena, which is rare, so that's good." Chris states that she's serious, and Meghan admits that she does, sometimes. Chris reminisces that at the beginning of the summer Meghan was "just Becky's friend, but September there was no one [she] was closer to." Meghan says that she's happy for Chris and Gary. Chris thinks that she may have "idealized" their entire "relationship." Meghan denies that it was a relationship, and Chris asks her about "that last night." Meghan looks away and stammers, "It was..." Chris says, "It was amazing and we just never talked about it." Hmm, I guess that means they were doing the "forbidden dance" instead of the Macarena. Meghan reminds her that it was four years ago. Chris confesses that she was in love with Meghan then, and that she still may be. Meghan is speechless. There's a loud crack of thunder and all of the lights go out. Meghan and Chris hear yelling from inside the apartment.
Felicity wonders what happened, and Ben concludes that "the storm must have knocked out all the power." Felicity rounds up a candle and Knoll, with a phone in hand, reports that "according to Con Ed, most of downtown Manhattan is blacked out." Richard exclaims that they won't have to watch the movie, but Sean informs him that he has "eight hours' worth of batteries," and that they can still watch it. Felicity lights another candle and Meghan walks back into the apartment. Felicity thinks it's "kinda fun," and when Meghan doesn't do back-flips of joy, Felicity asks her if anything is wrong. Meghan replies, "No, not really,"walking past her.
