In the aftermath of their kiss, Felicity gets all hot and bothered about Noel. She continually dreams about him. They team up for the group portion of their final project in art class, and fear that Professor Sherman will not be able to give them an unbiased critique because she hates them. Felicity and Noel spend a lot of time together, and she cannot stop thinking about him. The situation becomes more complicated when Ruby returns from Los Angeles. After much soul searching, Felicity approaches Noel with the suggestion that they get back together. Noel decides that it isn't a good idea... he recalls how badly their first attempt at a relationship ended, and thinks it would be better to commit himself to Ruby. However, Noel and Felicity nearly kiss while working on their assignment, and he begins to re-consider his decision. Ruby must return to Los Angeles for more work on the movie, and gives Noel a ticket so that he can come with her. She suspects that Noel still has feelings for Felicity. Felicity assures her that they are only friends, and tells Noel to go on the trip. Julie is approached by a record executive. Sean believes that the man has ulterior motives. Julie takes offense to this insinuation, and he seems to be proven wrong when the record company signs her to a demo deal. Ben has difficulty with his English essay because he read the wrong book. Sean helps him get his paper done before the deadline.
