Felicity's parents soon come to New York to try and convince her to resume her original plans, with Felicity trying to stand her ground whilst having doubts herself. Her biggest relief is the friendship of her dorm's resident advisor, sophomore Noel Crane, who also adds to the confusion by confessing his crush on her.
