Felicity walks up to Todd and says hello. He says that it's probably a bad time, but that he was going to drop something off and saw her sitting in the lobby. He hands her a small gift. After a beat, Felicity takes it. Todd tells her to open it and says it's nothing. Felicity tears off the paper to find one of those mini-license plates with her name on it. Todd reminds her that she always said she could never find one with her name on it. Felicity smiles and says that she not only remembers that, but every time she's in a toy store, she looks at the rack to find one. Todd admits that he had it specially made. Felicity smiles, and Todd says that it's stupid. Felicity says that it's really sweet, but that it's not a good time in general because of all of her obligations, including her boyfriend. Todd admits that Noel seems like a good guy. Todd swallows a couple of times and then tells Felicity to take care. Felicity thanks him again for the license plate. Todd walks off sadly and waves goodbye. Felicity tells Sally, "I thought that was it [eye-roll]. That was not it."
Felicity and Julie check their mailboxes. Julie reminds Felicity about the application from Carol's office. Felicity remembers. Julie says that she applied for the job and that they called her yesterday. Felicity asks if she's going to take it. Julie says that she has training that day and asks if she looks okay. Felicity checks her mail and asks Julie if she's talked to Carol yet. Julie says that she hasn't, but admits that she has a fantasy that they can get to know each other before the truth comes out. Felicity walks up to the counter and hands over a slip to claim a package. Julie says that she wants to get to know Carol before she says anything. Felicity assures Julie that she looks great. The counter guy puts this giant box up on the counter. Julie asks what it is, and Felicity says that she guarantees it's from Todd. She tells Julie that if anything happens today, good or bad, to call and they can meet to talk it over. Felicity's a good friend. Julie asks Felicity if she needs help with the gigantic box, but Felicity says that she's got it. She puts her mail in her mouth and struggles to pick up the box and carry it off.
Ben enters some numbers into a calculator and then looks sad. He walks up the stairs to Sean's room and says he needs to talk. Sean reads a letter he's been working on about his breakfast cereal invention. Ben says that the letter sounds good, and then admits that he's out of money and he was hoping that he could owe Sean rent. Sean sighs and says that he would agree, but he can't. Ben says that he understands. Sean says that his monthly mortgage payments kick his ass, so until one of his ideas hits, he has to supplement his income with roommates. Sean keeps going on and on about how he hates roommates, and hates not being able to walk around naked, and not being able to watch porno, and Ben looks like he wants to interrupt but is also frightened. Sean concludes that since the other guys moved out, Ben is his only source of income. Ben says that he understands. Sean looks at Ben, who sighs heavily. Sean says that Ben can be late one month, but he can't carry Ben beyond that. Ben thanks Sean profusely and says that he'll find a job right away. Ben compliments Sean's letter again, and walks off.
