Plot Outline:
Ben decides that he wants to play an active role in his child's life. Lauren is pleased... but has already made arrangements to move to Arizona to be near her parents. Ben talks to Professor Hodges about the possibility of transferring to the University of Arizona. Adam's design wins the contest, and Felicity accepts an offer to stay in New York and help with his project. Hodges tells Ben that the deadline for admission has passed, but his friend can pull some strings and get him accepted. He must make his final decision in the next day. Felicity is upset that Ben failed to tell her about his possible move. She tells Adam that she may have to turn down the job. Trevor convinces Ben that Noel is still trying to make a move on Felicity. A tearful Felicity confides in Noel about Ben's situation. Ben catches them in an embrace and becomes angry. He says that he wouldn't have slept with Lauren if Felicity hadn't cheated on him. They break up, and Felicity accepts the job with Adam. Noel tries to talk some sense into Ben. He says that Ben is the one Felicity loves, and that they should be together. Ben apologizes to Felicity and says that he erupted because he feels like he doesn't deserve her. Felicity says that she can't move to Arizona, but they vow to work things out. Ben takes Sean's advice and asks Lauren to re-consider her move. He suggests that he might pursue legal action to keep her in New York. Zoe insists on keeping her relationship with Noel a secret. She abruptly breaks up with him, but has second thoughts. She explains that she was wary of relationships because she suffered from depression after falling for a guy who loved someone else. They realize they must make their relationship public after a co-worker catches them kissing. A director asks both Javier and Meghan to audition for a commercial. They bicker, but each ends up tanking the audition in the hopes of helping the other person get the job.
