Felicity totally busts into Knoll's room in the middle of the night, demanding to know what right he has to draw the line. Knoll sleepily asks whether Felicity is going to force him to talk about Ben. Felicity asks whether Knoll is happy with "a conditional friendship," and accuses him of setting boundaries in their conversations. Knoll clarifies that he's setting one boundary. Felicity realizes that it's because he has feelings for her. Knoll claims that he's happy to be friends with her as long as it's not all about Ben. Felicity throws Hannah in his face. Knoll admits that he still has a long-distance girlfriend, but it's complicated, since he has feelings for Felicity. Felicity wonders when it became all about Ben, and wants to know how Knoll can insist that he's fine and still have feelings for her. Knoll points out that she's doing the same thing to Ben, because she was fine being friends, and still "doing his homework for him and following him around like some lovesick schoolgirl." Felicity screeches, "You know what? Maybe I am a lovesick schoolgirl." What a terrible comeback. I hate to say it, but Knoll is totally right. Felicity stomps out.
Blair and Ben test some sort of game that Sean invented, while Sean tries to explain the rules. Ben asks whether Blair has talked to Elena. Blair says that Felicity is helping him out. Ben rolls his eyes over Felicity. Blair asks what's wrong, and points out that Felicity pushes Ben's buttons. Sean still blathers about the rules. Blair says that Ben might think Felicity is trouble, but she's got a good heart and Blair likes her. Ben tosses a game piece, and Sean calls for overtime, but Ben and Blair have had enough.
In another RA meeting, Marissa says that she thinks one of her advisees is running a sex line from her room, because there is "constant exaggerated moaning" coming from the room. At first, Marissa thought that she was "a real self-satisfier," but now she thinks differently. Knoll brings up his "friend" again, saying that he drew the line. Marissa asks what happened. Knoll says that the girl got pissed off, so his "friend" is thinking about going back and redrawing the line. Everyone is upset about that idea. Marissa explains that would risk the girl drawing her own line, and that his "friend" needs to stick with the first line.
Julie plays guitar while Krakow listens. Julie finishes and Krakow tells her that the music is fantastic. Julie looks pleased and launches into another piece she has written for a different scene in the movie. Krakow watches her play, then leans forward and kisses her. Julie manages to keep playing while he is kissing her. Finally, she puts down the guitar and lays back and Krakow gets on top of her. He keeps trying to put his hand up her shirt, but she keeps grabbing his hand and moving it. Things begin to get a little more intense, and Julie stops Krakow, explaining that she wants to go slow. Krakow agrees and backs off.
