Plot Outline:
Ben focuses all of his attention on studying as he prepares for his organic chemistry final. Felicity decides to follow his example and devote more time to her artwork. She seeks advice from Professor Cavallo on how to improve her work, and spends more time at the studio. Noel grudgingly takes his medication and continues to see a therapist. He considers starting his own graphics company. Felicity asks for Noel's advice about her art project. Noel decides to follow his therapist's recommendation and spend less time with Felicity. Ben grows angry with Trevor for inviting Elena to their study sessions, as they goof off all of the time. Felicity is working in the studio when the building catches on fire. She is unaware of this because the alarms do not sound, and becomes trapped. Noel extinguishes the flames near the door and pulls her outside. Ben and Trevor apologize for their argument and go to see Professor Hodges. They learn that Trevor passed the exam, while Ben scored 95 percent on the final and earned an A in the class. Ben calls Felicity to check on her after hearing about the fire. She says that she is fine and congratulates him on his academic achievement. Felicity loses all of her work in the fire. Professor Cavallo invites her to join the Honors Art program because he was impressed by what he had seen. Noel tells his therapist that he is going to move on with his life and stop waiting around for Felicity. Meghan's teenage sister Lila, who attends boarding school, comes for a visit. Meghan is stunned to discover that Lila is pregnant, and tries to convince her to share the news with their parents. She talks to their mother ahead of time because Lila is frightened, and considers letting Lila stay with her if the family rejects her. However, Mrs. Rotundi proves to be very supportive.
