Noel returns home from the walking tour. Sean is making dinner and Ben is sitting at the table. Sean asks how the tour went, and Noel says it was pretty cool. Ben quietly tells Noel that in the future, Noel should give Ben's messages directly to him. Noel doesn't know what Ben is talking about, because Ben is being a jerk. Ben reminds Noel about the message from Snark. Noel explains that it was important, and he thought that Felicity would see Ben first. Ben says that Noel should just tell Ben directly next time, and Noel agrees. Ben walks into his room. Noel looks at Sean like, "I have no fucking clue, but I'm trying to be nice because I think he's crazy and might kill me for no reason."
Sean follows Ben into his room and asks what that was all about. Ben sighs and tells Sean to come in and close the door. Cut to Sean saying, "Oh, my God," Ben having clearly just spilled it about his impending fatherhood. Ben says that Noel doesn't know. Sean promises to keep it to himself. Sean points out that, legally, Ben could keep Lauren in New York, because fathers have rights. Ben wonders if he's supposed to get into some legal battle. Sean says that he could. Ben doesn't want to do that. Sean pauses and says he's heard that Santa Fe is beautiful. Ben breaks it to Sean that Santa Fe is in New Mexico. Aw. Poor Sean. He tries.
Javier performs his commercial audition script for Elena. He's way over the top, but extremely cute. Except that he mispronounces "lumbar" as "lumber." But it's cute. Elena applauds. Meghan bitches about Javier's mispronunciation. Elena tells Javier to try it again. Meghan asks if he's going to "do the whole thing like that." Javier wonders what she's talking about, but Meghan tells him to forget it. Meghan walks into the kitchen. Javier follows and accuses Meghan of playing mind games. Elena tells Javier to relax, and Javier screams, "No, she should relax! She's trying to steal my dream!" Meghan denies it. Javier says she doesn't care about acting. Meghan agrees, but says that she cares about the $3000. Elena hears about the money and thinks that maybe she should audition, too. I wish she would, if only to get some screen time. Javier says that a real friend would drop out of the competition, and Meghan says that a real actor wouldn't care. Javier vows to nail the audition, and tells Meghan that she shouldn't "come crying spilled milk" to him when it's over. Meghan says that the only one who will be crying after the audition is Javier. That Meghan. She's sassy. Also, are she and Sean still married? Doesn't she live at the loft? Why is she hanging out at Elena, Javier, and Felicity's place?
