As we see Felicity addressing and stamping an envelope, FVO says she has a new theory: that you can never be ashamed of the truth. Felicity concludes her tape to Sally by saying that she hopes Sally is happy in Santa Fe, and that she misses her. On the street, Felicity takes a bunch of envelopes out of her bag and drops them into a mailbox without a second thought. She walks into a college building, and opens the door to an office. Seated in her counselor's office are her parents. They stand up when Felicity enters. Felicity asks what they're doing there. Her parents awkwardly look around. Her counselor tells her to come in and close the door. Felicity stares at her parents, and then follows her counselor's orders. Her father says they're there because they "want to find out why [Felicity] is so adamant about New York." Felicity confusedly states that they were supposed to go back home and then asks, "You lied to me?" Her father claims that they didn't lie. Felicity reminds him that she asked if the flight was bumpy, and her father says they just said that they were fine. Okay, Mr. Semantics, it was still a lie of omission. Felicity asks her counselor what he told her parents. He says he told her parents to talk to her about it. Mrs. Porter says that they need to understand "this big switch," and that someone named Nancy asked whether Felicity was on drugs. Felicity can't believe they think she's on drugs. Mr. Porter says that they don't know what to think. Felicity still can't believe that her parents could imagine that she's there because she's on drugs. Mrs. Porter asks whether they did something to make Felicity angry. Mr. Porter adds that they can't get answers anywhere -- from Felicity, from the admissions office, from her counselor. Felicity's like, "Whoa, back this train up. Admissions office?" Mr. Porter says that he tried to get a copy of her admissions essay. Felicity is stunned as she realizes the mistake she has made, and says, "Oh, God. I can't believe this!" and runs out of the office. Mr. Porter says, "She was never like this before."
There's a knock at Knoll's door. He answers it to find some guy named "Larry," who we'll never see again, and who is having problems with some guy we don't see until later named "Louis." Apparently, Louis talks in his sleep. Knoll agrees that it would be annoying. Larry says the problem is that the problem is that when Louis talks in his sleep, the "subject matter" is buying knives and killing his roommate. Knoll says he'll talk to Louis. Knoll looks uncomfortable and closes the door. What was that scene about?
