Plot Outline:
Sean follows Ben and Felicity with his camera and pesters them to admit their attraction. Greg asks Felicity to manage his campaign for student council president. Felicity is alarmed to discover that she disagrees with Greg's position on virtually every issue. She finds that her views are more in line with her friend Leila's campaign. After Leila's fear of public speaking leaves her ill, Felicity reads her speech to the students. Leila drops out of the race, but urges Felicity to run in her place. Hoping to show Felicity that he has some direction, Ben takes an internship on Wall Street. He spends all of his time babysitting a broker's visiting son. They bond while playing basketball, but the boy hurts his finger. Ben comforts the child as Greg tends to the injury, and Felicity is very impressed. Felicity, with encouragement from Ben, decides to run for student council president. Greg throws a fit and breaks their date to the Sadie Hawkins dance. He later shows up and apologizes. Felicity and Ben exchange longing glances while dancing with their dates. Richard also runs for president, using the platform "Free Pizza on Fridays." Tracy accepts another girl's invitation to the dance because he believes Elena took too long to ask him. He backs out of the date to go with Elena, but she balks at violating the "girls' code." Elena and Felicity convince Julie and Noel to attend the dance together.
