The dorm plans a party. A student insists that she can handle the party planning alone, and introduces Noel to her cousins, who seem to be "connected." Noel asks Felicity to save him a dance. Felicity excitedly plans to invite Ben to the party, and is upset when he hears about the event from Julie before she gets the chance to talk to him. Julie continues to resist Ben's advances. Meghan informs Felicity that something is obviously going on between the duo. Felicity sees the two together at the party, and confronts Julie. Julie sneers that she is tired of putting aside her feelings in order to protect Felicity. Felicity meets floormate Elena Tyler. A disc jockey accidentally plays one of Felicity's tapes to her friend Sally. Everyone hears a passage in which she talks about sex. She runs off, humiliated. Ben crashes in Felicity's room after getting locked out of his apartment. She stares at him while he sleeps. Felicity has difficulty locating the textbook for her inorganic chemistry class, and irritates the professor with her constant attempts to suck up. A computer error forces Ben to take a drama class. He initially makes a mockery of an assignment about an important personal possession, but later impresses the class with a monologue about his keys. He explains that they symbolize the fact that he is now free from his father, as he believes that the whole family is better off without him in the house.
