Felicity wakes up to discover Ben sitting up in bed, studying. She thinks that's great and snuggles next to him. Knoll knocks on the door, and then barges in before being invited. Without apologizing for storming in, he asks Felicity whether she erased the "Georgia files." She says she didn't erase them, and Knoll states that he can't find them. Felicity tells him that she'll be out "in a second." Knoll tells her to hurry, and Ben snipes that she said she'd be right out. Knoll gives him a feeble stank-eye, which Ben vehemently returns. When Knoll has gone, Ben murmurs, "God, that guy is driving me nuts." Felicity stupidly asks, "Knoll?" Ben irritably responds, "Yes, Knoll." No, I think he's referring to Alan Greenspan, brainiac. She kisses him and gets up.
Out in the living room, Felicity, who is wearing a robe, is seated next to Knoll on the sofa. As she looks at the laptop, he says, "Sorry I'm a little anxious, it's just that the foundation called back." It seems that he has an interview and he's "terrified." Felicity congratulates him. Ben walks out of his bedroom. He snatches the newspaper, which is on the sofa beside Knoll, and slams it down on the kitchen counter. Knoll whines, "You could have just said, 'Hey, could I have the paper?'" Felicity finds the file, and Knoll whispers that Ben "is annoying the hell" out of him. Knoll gets up and complains about Ben's putting peanut butter on a bagel. Neither Ben nor I find that weird, though. Knoll whines that he toasted the bagel and was about to eat it. Would that be before or after you waltzed into Ben's room? After their little bagel contretemps, Felicity dumps the bagel into the garbage.
At the girls' apartment, Elena and DeForrest are trying to study despite the sound of distorted and pounding bass in the background. Elena gets a broom handle and bangs it on the floor in an effort to get her downstairs neighbours to turn down the music. She yells that it's Reading Week and that some people have to do some reading. That's funny, because at my school, Reading Week was held in the middle of the fall term and again in the middle of the winter term so that the students could theoretically catch up on all their work before the end of term. DeForrest gets up and stomps on the floor a few times, and the music suddenly stops. The fat suit that he's wearing looks really ridiculous and obvious. They settle back down to study, and Molly comes in chirping, "Is anybody home?" Elena informs her that they're trying to study for their MCATs (Medical College Admissions Test), and Molly promises to be as "quiet as a mouse." She carries a bag of groceries into the kitchen and immediately begins to clatter around, making a lot of noise. Elena asks DeForrest whether his place is any quieter and he mentions that he got a hotel room so that he could study in peace as well as get a good night's sleep before the test. Apparently, everyone does that before the MCATs. Elena berates herself for not thinking of that and DeForrest offers to share his room. She declines his offer until the music starts up again and the phone rings.
