Plot Outline:
Ben encourages Molly to break up with James. She instead invites him to move into the girls' apartment for a while. Molly insists that James has agreed to join her in seeking treatment. James persuades Molly to skip her meeting to get high with him and cuts off her hair. Ben accidentally stumbles upon a gun with James' belongings. He tells Felicity about Molly's problems. Ben and Felicity confront Molly and proclaim that James cannot stay. Ben (without Felicity's consent) also declares that Molly must either stop using drugs or leave. She angrily moves out. A student files harassment charges against Dr. McGrath, and asks Elena to testify. Elena learns that McGrath invented a story about a sick ex-wife to get girls to sleep with him. Elena realizes that the undeserved grade in McGrath's seminar cleared the way for her to take certain advanced classes. She concludes that she is a complete fraud. Tracy, at Felicity's urging, gives Elena a pep talk and stresses that she is one of the smartest people he knows. Elena testifies against McGrath, who is fired. Although the dean assures her that she is not in any trouble with the administration, Elena decides to re-take the class. Meghan's old friends accuse her of selling out. She questions her life and breaks up with Sean when he refuses to go out to a fetish club on the Sabbath. Meghan storms out after her friends insult Sean. She returns home to discover that he had actually gone to the club in a leather outfit with pants that exposed his rear end. Felicity helps Noel with a computerized cartoon.
