Elena comes to Felicity's room to passively-aggressively badger her some more about dropping out of Pre-Med. She asks to see what Felicity has drawn, and when she shows her a sketch of a hand, Elena pronounces that it is "pretty good." Maybe Felicity can do sketches for anatomy textbooks, and then they'd both be happy. Felicity worries aloud about the critique, AGAIN. Okay, we get it! Elena says, "I don't want to get all mushy or anything, but um, I'm proud of you, you made a tough decision and you're sticking to it." Instead of stopping there, she has to stick the knife in once more, and say that Felicity is making her life hell. Way to be supportive, Elena.
Felicity walks into the art class and hands Professor Sherman, who is thankfully still not revealing her boobs, her sketch. The professor asks the class for comments. When no one volunteers, she starts viciously deconstructing the drawing. Then all the toadies in the class start trashing the drawing. Professor Sherman Tank praises a lame-ass drawing of a knapsack over Felicity's drawing. Hey lady, why don't you learn to draw on some eyebrows before you start dissing other people's drawings? Why the hell would people who are drawing experts take the class? That's why they're there, TO LEARN and to be coached, not to be humiliated. Man, I so would not put up with they Gestapo teaching tactics that are prevalent on hour-long television dramedies. Knoll finally pipes up, "I think the detailing is nice." Sherman Tank immediately derails him and moves on to trashing the perspective, "which doesn't work at all." Yeah, I've got your perspective, RIGHT HERE!
Back in the classroom, Felicity is staring at her drawing and Knoll comes up and stands by the easel. Felicity blithers about possibly being "on a psychotic break" and having to rethink dropping out of Pre-Med. Knoll reminds her that Sherman Tank is notoriously hard on new students. Well, who else would be taking the class that is the prerequisite to all other drawing courses? Knoll tells her that her hair isn't so bad and that he likes it. Felicity says, "What was I thinking?" Knoll thinks she's referring to her haircut, and she says that's not what she meant. She apologizes again for hurting him. He says, "Turns out Brigid is gay, by the way." She says, "I know."
At the loft, Sean, Julie and Ben assemble for breakfast and Julie makes her patented mean bowls of cereal. Ben says, "Y'know, I'm not the biggest omelette fan." And Ben and Sean ask ratus girlus to stay. She accepts.
