Previously on felicity...
- How long would I stay on it?
- I don't know.
Forever?
Maybe.
- Who's that?
- She's in a.a. With ben's dad.
She's a recovering alcoholic,
and they're not dating.
Cross your fingers.
I got your message. Um...
And, well, I'll be up for a
little while if you wanna talk.
Okay.
Bye.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- How you doin'?
- Good. I was on my way...
- To work?
- Yeah.
I haven't seen you in forever.
Yeah. I canceled all
my shifts this week.
Oh.
Hey, did you ever
get my message?
- I called you back.
- Yeah, I did. I did.
I've been meaning to call
you back. I've been really busy.
Oh.
Um, I have an o-chem
exam this week.
I've just been studying
every night, so...
Oh. Well, I'm sure
you'll do great.
I better. I can't study
any more than I have been.
- Good luck with that.
- Thanks. I'll see you later.
- Okay.
- Okay.

How are the meds?
Um, okay.
I mean, my situation
hasn't changed.
I guess things are better.
What's better?
I don't know. Just, uh,
Things, you know?
It's like they're clearer.
Like, um...
Like before, I was looking
through a dirty window,
And now it's clean.
What do you see when
you look out that window?
That I really need to get a job.
I mean, I found one.
This place called web group
graphics, and it was great.
It was great...
Until I screwed up.
Is that what you
want to do... Graphics?
What I really want to do
is start my own business.
What's been holding you back?
I don't know. I keep getting
sidetracked somehow.
You don't know?
Mm-mmm.
Didn't you tell me that you
didn't look for a job this summer,
That you spent all
your time with felicity?
- It was the summer.
- Mm-hmm.
I guess I could've looked
for something, huh?
Why don't we try this?
Why don't you spend
less time with felicity
Until you get things
back on track?
You mean my life...
Minus felicity.
You think you can do that?
I don't know.
It's so weird. He's
such a student now.
Well, good for him 'cause he's not
doing diddly-squat around here anymore.
That's because he found
something that he loves.
He set his goal,
and he's doing it.
Wait. You have painting, but
you didn't cancel all your shifts.
Yeah. Maybe I should.
That benjamin is
such a bad influence.
Seriously, though, I
told noel six months ago
About this amazing artist,
this painter, jeremy cavallo.
All I wanted was to get into his
honors program, and now I work for him.
I see him every day, and I'm
not taking advantage of that.
That's just like
me and tito puente.
You studied with tito puente?
Oh, god, no, no. He live in the
apartment upstairs from me.
Every day I would come
home, and I would think,
"I should go meet tito."
But I never did, and then
he moved, and now he's dead.
Well, that's terrible.
Well, it's worse for him.
I just wasted an
opportunity of a lifetime.
You know what? I'm
gonna go to cavallo today,
And I'm gonna show
him my new stuff,
And I'm not gonna give in until
he lets me into that program.
Good for you. That's fantastic.
Now that you solved
that little dilemma,
Would you be interested in taking
over benjamin's thursday shift?
Please?
Okay. I'll do it, but
that's it. Seriously.
No more, no more. And monday.
- Uh, no, javier. No.
- Okay, fine.
Okay, they're the largest
department store in the world,
But they can't retail a
couple schmeghan shirts?
What's that about?
- That's her.
- Maybe she'll buy a shirt.
- Hey.
- Hey, you!
Hey, you, you, you!
I hate you! I hate you!
Bye! Happy holidays!
It's apartment 403.
My sister is so great.
Mm.
Stop feeling rejected
for five minutes.
Prepare to worship her.
Hey, you know what's
gonna be great?
Lila is gonna wear
the sock shirt, right?
Then all her friends are
gonna wear sock shirts.
And you and me? Millionaires.
- Sean, my sister's not
wearing a sock shirt.
- Why not?
Because she's cool.
Oh, my god.
Nice to see you, too.
Lila, are you...
I gained a little weight.
Thanks for noticing.
I'm lila,
And I'm addicted to doughnuts.
Hi. I'm sean. I'm
married to your sister.
Sorry I missed you in europe,
But way to go blowing mom
and dad's mind with that wedding.
Is there a bathroom? The ride
from new hampshire took forever.
I feel skank-ola.
Uh, yeah. It's right over there.
Hey! Got a great shirt for ya.
Sounds good.
Okay, is she, uh...
I think she is.
I was mainly focused on
texture with that piece.
And there I was just trying
to create a sense of movement.
I like the composition.
But?
It's good.
But not great.
My advice is to
just... Just keep at it.
Thanks. I will.
Professor cavallo.
I want to try to get into your
honors thesis program... Again.
And, um...
So if you could be honest,
Brutally honest,
I would appreciate it, I think.
You have no cohesive theme.
You have a lot of
ideas, a lot of energy.
But this is a
submission for a thesis.
So the work should
deal with a singular idea.
You're right.
You're so right.
Thank you. This was
incredibly helpful.
Could I show you my work again
When there's more
of a cohesive theme?
I'll look forward to it.
Okay.
In the past, there's been some confusion about
which topics will be covered on the test.
Let me be clear. This is
a comprehensive exam,
And I'm telling you now
so there are no surprises.
There will be a section devoted
to the chemistry of carbohydrates.
Are we dead?
Particularly the fischer proof
of the structure of glucose.
My office hours are changing.
They're expanding till 9 p.m.
Take advantage of that.
That's an extra hour
of your time and mine.
I'm available.
I just want to pass.
- When do you want to study?
- I'll see when elena's free.
- Just you and me.
- She's our tutor, man.
Every time we get together,
you guys mess around.
- No, we don't.
- Yes, you do. Every time.
- Okay, so next time we won't.
- We gotta focus.
Yes, okay.
When did you get
so uptight? Come on.
I'm sorry.
You all right?
I got it. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Noel.
- Hey.
- Hey. What are these?
Uh, just ideas.
They all say "noel
crane graphics."
- Yeah.
- Noel...
It's just a business
I'm starting.
- Oh, my god.
- It's nothing, really.
It's what's on these pages.
I love what's on these
pages. These are so great.
Especially this one.
Look, I gotta go.
I'm meeting a printer.
Okay. Guess what. I'm applying for
cavallo's honors program again,
If you can believe it.
Wow. That's great. Maybe
you could get his input...
I'm sorry. You know, I
mean, since you know him.
That's exactly what I did.
He said things need to be more
cohesive, more like a thesis.
I have no idea what
I'm gonna choose.
Okay. If you need any help...
Really?
Yeah. I mean, I'm busy, but...
I haven't even thought about it
myself, but that would be great.
I might take you up on that.
Okay. Good.
Maybe you're right.
I mean, I'm saying yes to questions
that she hasn't even asked yet.
- Why do you think that is?
- I don't know.
I mean, I guess I
want her to be happy.
Why?
Because making her
happy makes me happy?
She's my friend.
We talked about this,
noel. It gets you off track.
Yeah, I guess sometimes it does.
So maybe I should
stop doing that?
Sounds like a good idea to me.
Hey.
Um...
You've been here awhile.
What are you doing?
My sweaters reek of pot.
You've been getting high?
My roommate does. Not me.
My god. You are becoming mom.
Okay, look.
I'm your big sister, and you
can tell me anything, right?
Right.
You know I'll help you
no matter what it is.
I'm here for you.
You can't tell mom and dad.
Oh, lila!
Promise me. Swear.
I swear.
Hey.
I had a feeling
you might be here.
Can I come in?
Sure. Sure. Yeah.
So...
What do you think about pinatas?
I like them?
Yeah. I do, too,
But I was searching through
the dictionary for inspiration...
That's after three hours of sketching
and reading walt whitman poems...
And I came across
the word "pinata,"
And I thought they're colorful,
they're full of surprises,
Which you only get to once
they've been knocked around a little.
And the truth is, that's kind
of how this year has felt to me,
Like I've been shaken up and...
Like I'm waiting for the
surprise to come out.
So what do you think?
Is that too stupid?
Pinatas as a cohesive theme?
Um, no. No, I don't. I don't...
Mm-mmm. It's good.
Ohh! You hate it! Oh, god!
No. It's just, uh... Um...
You know, there's
this stuff going on.
Sort of emotional stuff.
But that's what I would deal
with... The emotional aspect.
The paintings would
just be representational.
Is that what you meant?
- Not really.
- Oh.
Um... I mean, it's a good
idea. It's a great idea.
But I was...
I was sort of talking
about me this time.
Um...
Look, I know I said that I'd
help you... With your stuff.
And I want to. I do.
But...
Oh, god. You're trying
to start this business,
And I just barged in here.
No, you didn't just
barge in, you know?
It's... It's not
just the business.
I'm trying to get my
life back on track.
So you're saying...
I mean...
What are you saying?
I'm not sure.
That maybe we shouldn't
be spending time together.
I love spending time with you.
I do. I mean...
I just can't right now.
Okay.
So, um...
Anyway, I should
get back to work.
- Yeah, of course.
- Yeah.
Hey.
I like the pinata thing.
Thanks.
- So?
- Is there a "p"?
- No, there's no "p."
- Wait, wait!
Give me the pen! I'm not
gonna give you this pen.
- I will give you a hint.
- I don't want a hint.
Think chemistry.
I'm going to the library.
- Ben?
- Just a second.
Ben, wait up.
I'm sick of being the
only one that's focused.
You wanna waste your time screwing
around, fine. But don't waste mine.
- Relax. It's just a test.
- I thought this was
important to you.
It is. But this is college.
There are other
things besides studying.
No, there's not. Not for me.
Come on. It was just a
game of hangman, man!

How about prudence hall, m.d.?
She sounds nice.
Thanks, meg. You're the best.
I knew you'd help
me take care of this.
What do you mean,
take care of this?
I know some people
think it's a sin,
But I'm in high school, and
I'm not gonna have a baby.
Um, lila...
What?
Have you looked in
the mirror lately?
You don't have
any other options.
You could have
this baby tomorrow.
How about instead of calling
a doctor, we call mom and dad?
No! No! I told you I
don't want them to know.
Yeah, but you're
on their insurance.
They're gonna find
out sooner or later.
- Why can't you pay the doctor?
- I don't have the money.
Great.
- Where are you going?
- I thought you were
gonna help me.
- I am!
- By calling mom and dad?
I don't need that kind of help.

Guidance. Noel crane.
Uh, mr. Crane?
I don't want to
interrupt you, but...
- I'll talk to you later.
- There's a fire
in the building.
- What?
- Yeah, a big one.
Why aren't the alarms going off?
I called 911. We should go.
Come on!
Everybody out! Come on!
Everybody, come on!
I hope no one's in the studios.
All the paint and turpentine.
Hey, the fire's in
the art department?
That's where I saw smoke.
I'm gonna see if anyone's
there. You get out of here.
- You're going there?
- Tell the fire department
I'm on the second floor.
- I don't think
that's a good idea.
- Second floor, east wing.
Ah!
Come on.
Felicity!
Felicity!
Noel!
I can't open the window!
No! Don't open it!
It'll let oxygen in.
Get down on the ground
and cover your mouth, okay?
Oh, god.
Noel, I can't get out of
here. What am I gonna do?
Stay calm. I'll be
right back. Stay calm!
Okay.
Take my hand.
Hey, whatever
you got on tap, man.
These are soggy.
Yes, those are soggy.
So how'd you do?
I don't know. How about you?
Aced it.
Yeah, yeah, I bet you did.
Look, about before, I shouldn't
have brought elena along. I'm sorry.
Don't worry. It's me, too.
I'm stressed out right now.
Why don't you
just call her, man?
- Call who?
- Call felicity.
It's not that.
It's... It's this test.
I just want to get this
o-chem test behind me.
Yeah. Right. Sure.
Then why don't we see if
our grades are posted?
They're not gonna
be up till tomorrow.
Yeah, well, let's check.
Knowing hodges, he can't
possibly wait all night
To fail 40% of
his class, can he?
All right. Yeah. Sure. Let's go.
- All right.
- Thanks.
- Here. Put this on.
- Thank you.
They said that the damage
was contained to our floor.
I heard 'em say something
about an electrical fire.
- Was anybody hurt?
- I don't think so.
We should get out of here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ready?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Oh, my god. Pink snow.
I swear, when you least
expect it, the city's so beautiful.
You can never describe it
to someone who wasn't here.
Hey.
Can I help you two?
- We wanted to see how we did.
- Come on in.
That was some test, huh?
There was a lot of
questions, a lot of... Chemistry.
Yes, that's true.
Here we are, mr. O'donnell.
I got a 79?
Yes.
- That's great.
- Dude, I passed.
A 79. I can't believe this.
You can teach, man...
Professor.
Thank you.
And mr. Covington.
You got a 95?
That's an "a," man!
- You got an "a" in o-chem!
- Thank you, sir.
- You're welcome.
- Ninety... You got an "a!"
- This is unbelievable.
- Yeah. Thank you very much.
I... I'll get this.
How pregnant is she?
Very pregnant.
Five, six months. But
that's just an estimate.
Oh, this is just great.
This is just lovely.
I can't wait for the
booths to find out.
Mom, the same thing happened
to april in tenth grade.
I'm sure the booths
will understand.
- It did not.
- Yes, it did. Angie's a klepto.
What about the school? What
are we supposed to tell them?
Definitely next semester is out.
Mom, lila's pregnant.
She's wandering the streets
of new york city alone.
- Are you worried about her?
- I think that's a given.
No, it isn't! All you've done is
talk about how this problem...
Lila's problem... Affects you.
What are you gonna tell
your friends and the school.
Well, someone needs
to consider her future.
Mom, she's terrified of you.
She is not. That's ridiculous.
You're the first person
she should've gone to.
But she came here and made
me promise not to tell you.
Doesn't that tell you something?
Doesn't that break your
heart? It sure as hell breaks mine.
- Lila?
- Hey. Hey, you.
I'm coming down.
I'll be right back.
Oh, my god. My
bag is at the studio.
Oh, good. I still have my keys.
Um... You want to come in?
Uh, you know, I should go.
I could make hot chocolate.
Maybe we could just sit
and talk just a little bit.
Yeah.
We should both get cleaned up.
What time is it?
It's almost 9:00.
God, this day, it just
feels like... A lifetime.
Are you sure you can't
come in? Just for a little bit.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm glad you're okay.
Yeah, thanks to you.
All right.
- She's really upstairs?
- Yes.
I'm sorry. I didn't
know what else to do.
If it makes you feel any
better, you were right.
About what?
I went to a clinic. I
don't have any options.
Lila, I'm here for you,
no matter what you need:
A place to stay, advice,
My favorite sweater...
In a few months.
I mean, you have me, but
what you need is a mother.
She's gonna make this my fault.
No, she won't. I won't let her.
And I can't just come
live here with you?
We need to talk to mom and dad.
- But maybe?
- Yeah, maybe.
It'd be so great.
Come on. I'm freezing.
Come on. It's okay.
Okay.
So our first order
actually sold out in a week.
And you found that people
like wearing socks for sleeves.
Oh, yeah. They love it.
Yeah. Meghan's so smart.
This whole thing was her idea.
That's nice to hear.
Hi, mom.
Oh, my god. Lila.
- I'm sorry.
- Shh. It's okay.
Everything's gonna be fine.
I'm sorry.
Shh, shh, shh.
The fire, I mean, it
wasn't just crackling.
It was like the air made noise.
It was terrifying.
But noel saved
you. He's your hero.
I don't know what would've
happened if he hadn't been there.
Oh, god, I don't even
want to think about that.
It's too awful.
Wait. What are you doing?
I'm throwing these out.
They're stinky from smoke.
- I want to keep them.
- Oh, really?
It's just gonna remind
you what happened.
Yeah, I want to keep 'em.
Okay. Well, at least
put 'em in ziploc bags.
Otherwise, your whole closet's
gonna smell like a barbecue.
That smells fantastic.
- You want one?
- Yeah. Yeah. Sure.
You want cheese? You want salsa?
- Better have cheese.
- Yeah.
- Did you want salsa or what?
- Whatever you got.
- What's going on?
- I had that test today.
- How'd you do?
- Good.
Shut up. Good?
No, I did. I got an "a."
- What? That's incredible.
- Yeah.
I mean, not that
I'm surprised, but...
Whoa. What happened to you?
There was a fire in the
administration building.
Are you okay?
Yeah. Thanks.
- Anybody get hurt?
- No, but felicity was there.
Is she okay?
Yes. Yeah, she's okay.
She's a little freaked
out, but she's okay.
I'm gonna go get cleaned up.
- Felicity?
- Hey, come in.
Telephone.
Is it noel?
Benjamin.
- Hello?
- Hi. It's me.
Is this too late to call?
No. It's fine.
- How are you?
- I'm... All right.
Noel said you were in a fire.
Yeah, yeah, but we're okay.
Okay, good.
I just wanted to
call and make sure.
Well, thanks.
Elena said that you got
an "a" on your o-chem exam.
Yeah. Yeah, it's not
a big deal, though.
Oh, yes, it is a big deal.
So elena and javier are
there, right? You're not alone?
No. I'm... I'm fine.
Okay, good.
But thanks for calling.
Yeah.
And congratulations on the "a."
That's, you know...
Yeah.
All right. Bye.
Okay, bye.
I'm really sorry
about your work.
Yeah.
I think I'm gonna
need an extension.
I really liked what
you were doing.
Thanks.
It's the kind of work that
students in the honors seminar do.
I assume you're
still interested.
Oh, my god. Yes.
Your pinata took another hit.
Let's see what
spills out as a result.
Where are they moving you to?
Oh, just some temporary
office downstairs.
Did you make that?
No.
- 'Cause it's really realistic.
- It's for you.
Thank you.
Cavallo's letting
me into his class.
- The honors program?
- Yeah.
That's great.
Yeah. I'm pretty
excited about it.
But I keep thinking about
what you said yesterday.
Are we really not
friends anymore?
No.
I mean yes. Of course.
Of course we're friends.
It's just, um...
I just need to change
some things about myself.
But why do you want to
change? I love the way you are.
Yeah. Well...
You need to get back on track.
Yeah. I do.
Well, then, that's good.
So you did it.
Yep. I think so.
What happened?
I don't know.
It was weird letting
go of something
That I thought was so important.
But it doesn't feel right for me
to wait around for her anymore.
Okay.
Yeah.
