Felicity arrives at Dean & Deluca, where Javier is behind the counter! Yay! Javier! This season just got a lot better. Felicity apologizes for taking his pen. Javier asks whether she drinks a lot of coffee, and Felicity says that she had an amazing night last night. Javier asks about it, so Felicity tells him that she was almost killed in a robbery, and then stayed up all night with a guy she's liked for a long time. I know this all worked out for the best, but is that really the kind of thing you want to reveal in a job interview? Javier says that it's an amazing feeling, and they bond about it. Javier asks about a plus-sized clothing store in which Felicity worked, in Berkeley. Javier wonders whether "the fat women" hated Felicity; she replies that the women weren't fat, and that she really liked working there. Javier asks whether she can start the next day at noon. Felicity smiles but never really answers.
Knoll is shaving in the men's bathroom when Elena busts in and asks about something Knoll stuck on her door. Knoll reminds her that they're in the men's room, but Elena really doesn't care. Knoll explains that, as the RA, he was required to decorate for Halloween. Elena is upset that he posted a witch on her door, instead of a skeleton or a ghost. Knoll asks whether she would rather have a pumpkin. Elena says she doesn't think that anyone likes Halloween. Clearly, she has never watched Roseanne. Knoll asks her what she is doing for Halloween, and Elena replies that she has work to do. Knoll points out that they all have work to do. Elena says that she actually does her work. Knoll tells her that he's going to "that party," and invites Elena along.
Felicity and Ben are at the police station, checking out mug shots. Ben leafs through the pages quickly, and Felicity reminds him that the detective told them to take their time. Ben says that none of the guys looks familiar to him. Felicity says that he can't tell if he's not really looking, and Ben gives her a look like, "Get off my stinking back!" The detective comes over and asks whether they've found anything. Ben quickly replies, "No!" but Felicity says she has found one. She shows the detective a drawing and says that her perp (look at me with the cop talk) would look like that, except ten years younger and twenty pounds thinner. Ben sarcastically says, "Oh, except for that," and Felicity defensively says that she's just trying to give the police an idea. The detective asks Ben whether he's found anything; Ben says that he hasn't, and that he needs to get going to "meet Paul." The detective tells him to come back the next day. Ben tells Felicity he'll see her later, and in a small voice, Felicity says, "Sure." After Ben leaves, the detective tells Felicity that the process is "difficult for some people." Felicity replies, "Apparently."
