Ben bursts into I Felta Thi headquarters and runs up to the Frattie Bubelattie who always wears the hattie, and demands to know where Randy is. When the frat dudes find out that Ben is Felicity's boyfriend, they tell him that she slept with Randy. Ben looks gobsmacked when they tell him that she "wasn't acting like she had any other commitments."
Richard and Molly are walking along the street, and Richard is venting his disgust for Felicity. Molly accuses Richard of being a puritan, and she suggests that she play Hester Prynne as she moves in for a clinch. Molly, using literary references on Richard is a bit dicey. I don't think he really gets it except for the "moving in for the clinch" part. Richard reminds her that he is student body president and he can't get caught up in any sex scandals. Molly suggests that they can be discreet, but Richard cries that she doesn't know anything about him, like where he's from, what his middle name is, or what his mother does for a living. The hell? What does it matter what his mother does? And who expects the student body president to not be sexually active? The University of New York isn't a seminary, is it? Molly asks if his middle name is Christopher and it is. Richard then gets totally paranoid and demands to know who tipped her off. He whispers, "My enemies are everywhere," and skulks away. Hmm, Richard Coad, that name could be shortened to Dick Coad. Does that mean that he has some sort of "dick code" that he has to live by? Personally, I just think he's a freak.
At the loft, Meghan is reading Tarot cards while Sean eats the leftover tiramisu. He finally tells her about his problems below the equator since he saw how keeping a secret affected Ben and Felicity. He says, "I don't think we should have secrets between us," and Meghan deadpans, "Yeah, that'd be interesting." After he tells her about the antibiotics, she asks what else the doctor said. Sean denies that the doctor said anything else, then he mumbles about the ultrasound. Meghan holds up the Emperor card which, when it is upside down, apparently means "weak character" and someone "who doesn't want to face facts." Sean tries to discount the cards and says his problem isn't serious. He yells, "I'm on antibiotics!" She shouts back, "Are they helping?" Sean flatly refuses to get the ultrasound. Meghan asks if he'll get one if she requests that he does. Sean won't budge, so Meghan gets angry and leaves. I don't know many men who seek medical care without turning it into a huge ordeal. I totally feel for Meghan.
