Felicity takes a job in the university's records office. She reads Ben's application essay, in which he describes his desire to make his dead brother proud. Felicity receives word that someone has requested a copy of her essay. She believes the interested party is Ben (the topic of the composition), so she sends him a copy. However, her parents have actually stayed in New York in a last-ditch attempt to convince her to drop out and enroll at Stanford. They requested the essay in the hopes of figuring out what she was thinking. Felicity explains that she initially came to New York for Ben, but now sees the experience as an opportunity to break away and make her own life. Her mother is hurt, but the Porters eventually agree to accept Felicity's decision. A guilt-ridden Ben confesses to lying on his essay; he is an only child. Julie decides to search for her biological parents.

b: 20 Oct 98 pc: F703 w: Mimi Schmir and J.J.

These athletes do not go on most road trips, may be sent to smaller meets closer to home while the others are at an invitational (or used in developmental meets prior to major home meets), and are entered in dual meets as "non-scoring competitors." They are similar to junior varsity participants in high school.rc: Meghan, Sean, Zach, Javier, Blair

Ben tries to learn the material in the paper before facing a hearing in front of faculty members. He eventually admits that he didn't write the paper. The professor saves Felicity and Ben from expulsion, but they both fail the assignment. (Felicity had gotten an A, and Ben's original paper would have received a B.)
