Felicity and Javier meet with the lawyer at Dean & Deluca. The lawyer tells Felicity that she's liable for anything that happens to Javier and that she'll be assuming all responsibility for him.

At dinner, Ryan asks how long Noel and Felicity have been going out. Felicity says about 3 months. Ryan says he and Alex have been together for 10 months. Ryan says their one year anniversary is coming up in April. They'll be having a committment ceremony. Noel asks if it's like a party. Ryan explains it's more like a wedding.

Ryan tells Noel he hoped he'd have his support when he told his parents the news. He announces that he's going back to the hotel and leaves. Noel declares it's insane and goes back to the dorm. Felicity and Alex are left alone at the restaurant. She tells him that she's going to marry a gay guy too. Alex gives her a strange look.

She's been watching him all week and it's obvious it means a lot to him. He says he really does want to be on the team. He wants to feel like he's a part of something.

Javier stops by to drop off a huge basket of bread and pastries from Dean & Deluca for Feliicity. She's not there so he asks Noel if he can keep it in his room for her. He tells Noel that Felicity is the most generous,wonderful person he's ever met. She's a romantic - - she realized how difficult his situation with Samuel was.

Julie goes to Ben's swim team tryouts. He doesn't know she's there. He makes the team along with Lynn. Ben spots Julie and smiles.

Ryan shows up at the exhibit. Noel apologizes again for the way he acted. Ryan says until this he never thought being honest would cause him to lose his family. Noel tells him that's never going to happen.

Javier has a farwell party. Felicity attempts to give him back the ring. He tells her he wants her to keep it.

Sally tells Felicity she probably would have done the same thing- offered to marry Javier. She says Felicity's tape reminded her that love is complicated- full of sacrifice and compromise- but maybe that's the best part. When you see someone in love you want to do whatever you can for them because the truth is you want to be them.
