FVO says that she decided to ask Noel, even though she was sure he'd say no. Cut to Noel telling Felicity that he'll go, because he has two weeks to kill until his internship in Berlin starts. Is it really Felicity's place to be inviting people along? Felicity and Noel kiss, but they are interrupted by Guy knocking on the door. He walks in and tells Noel that there is a problem with their final project for their web design class. Guy explains that they have to finish the project while camping out for tickets for The Phantom Menace. Oh, dude. Let me save you some time. Don't bother. Guy admits that he's one of those crazy guys on the news that camps out. Felicity asks how long they have to wait in line. Guy says he has to be there for forty-eight hours, but that Noel can come and go as he pleases. Noel pissily says that they won't get much done on their project while standing in line. Felicity thinks it kind of sounds like fun, and then she falls over the bed onto the floor. She sits up, kind of freaked out.
Tarot Card: "Strength." Word: "Action." Fade in on Meghan dealing out tarot cards as Felicity asks her to stop with the spells already. Meghan says she won't stop and, in fact, has an even better one to do. She asks Felicity for a fingernail clipping. Felicity looks disgusted and says she has to go to class. Meghan yells out that she's still doing the spell. Felicity shoots her a dirty look and walks out as FVO says that she definitely should have taken Meghan more seriously.
Felicity and Elena sit in McGrath's seminar. FVO says that she asked Elena to come on the trip, but that Elena said no because she wanted to have some more sex with McGrath. I mean, "look for a hospital job in the city." And again, what's up with Felicity inviting all these people? How big is this car, anyway? Felicity tells Elena they need to go to the library. Elena offers to meet her there, because she wants to have some sex with McGrath first. I mean, "she wants to ask McGrath a question first." The other students file out. Elena walks up to McGrath and nervously brings up their date. McGrath asks if Elena is free Thursday night, and they set up a meeting place. Elena looks really beautiful. And young. McGrath is a scumbag.
Felicity, Noel, Julie, and Ben sit at Epstein Bar, planning their cross-country route. Julie wants to stop in Chicago, for the blues clubs. Shut up, Julie. Noel wants to see where Close Encounters was filmed. Felicity suggests Yellowstone Park. Aren't those last two pretty far apart? Ben says they can go wherever they want. Felicity says she's always wanted to drive across the country. Julie proposes a toast to the trip. FVO says that the four of them were planning the trip, but that none of them knew how complicated it would get. Felicity knocks Ben's glass to the floor, and it breaks all over. Ben leans down to sweep it up, and Felicity apologizes. Ben looks up and sees Nicole sitting at the bar and staring at him. Again, at her boyfriend's workplace, like, she isn't even trying to be sly, is she?
