Over at the dorm apartment, Elena and Julie are painting the kitchen while Meghan regales them with tales of her parents catching her and Sean in their bed in Tuscany. They're having a grand old time and when the phone rings, Julie inexplicably jumps up on the counter and walks across it to answer the phone. The hell? It's Felicity calling to ask how things are going and whether Julie hates her for foisting Meghan off on them. Julie claims that they're having fun and asks how it is going at the Brooklyn apartment. Felicity, who is sweeping while talking on the phone, lies and says that things are going well. Julie asks if they've "christened the apartment yet" which I guess is her way of nosily asking if Felicity and Ben have done the deed yet. That Julie, so full of tact. Felicity tells her that they're going to do it that night. And again, she mentions romance. Okay, we get it, Felicity has stars in her eyes and can't see that the place is a dump.
Sean is interviewing Javier yet again. This time they're in a jewellery store and Javier is picking out a watch for his mother. He asks to have it inscribed with the phrase, "Made en españa." Um, shouldn't that be "Hecho en españa"? And he mentions again that he's worried about Knoll being with Gnatalie.
Over at the Brooklyn apartment, Felicity and Ben are about to get busy, when she starts screaming mid-snog. She's seen a giant bug and she dispatches Ben to kill it for her. Then the plumbing noises start again which distracts Ben and he launches into a tirade about how the noise went on for hours in the afternoon. Ben starts banging on the floor and shouting at the downstairs tenants to stop the noise. Felicity wisely notes that it probably isn't the neighbours making the noise, but "the pipes." She suggests just calling the manager about it in the morning. Ben would rather keep raging, but Felicity convinces him to turn his attention back to the bug.
There's a knock at the door and a lithe, scantily clad young woman is there, claiming to be from downstairs. She explains that whenever she turns on the bathroom taps that noise starts. Ben is bowled over by her appearance and suddenly he isn't so angry anymore. The chickie leaves and Felicity reams him out for being so gobsmacked instead of "ass-kicking" as he had threatened. He finally sees the bug and asks her to turn on the light so that he can get it. She plugs in the weird cone-shaped lamp that she snagged from Mitchell and when she does, it bursts into flame, which makes Ben combust. He starts freaking and yells for her to get the fire extinguisher from under the sink. The extinguisher is empty so Ben runs out to the hall to get another extinguisher. In the meantime, Javier arrives, sees the fire and screams, "Fire! Aie!" Then, without missing a beat, he looks around the room and deadpans, "Ooh, I don't like that TV." Ben charges back in yelling, "Clear!" and he puts out the fire. The neighbour chickie comes back in because she's heard yelling. Ben says it's just because of the fire and some bugs. Javier turns to Felicity and mutters, "Oh god, please tell me she doesn't live in the building." Through clenched teeth, Felicity says, "Mm-hmm."
