The Heavy Breather
Judy twice receives a phone call with nothing but heavy breathing on the other end. The first time, in the opening scene, she lets the answering machine pick up (while she does her nails), the second time, later in the episode, she actually picks up.

The leak
Rick and Lily (at 11:43pm) cannot sleep so they go to the kitchen to get some ice cream. Rick spots the leak and actually makes it worse by touching it. Later, we learn that the leak is because of ice damage (foreshadowed by the extra-hard ice-cream that Rick pulls out of the freezer). This leak apparently originates in the roof, through the attic, down the wall, and across the ceiling of the kitchen. Some leak.

The return of Will Gluck
Lily hires Will to do two things - fix the leak in the roof, and convert the attic to a workspace for Rick.

Jake's new flame
We learn that Jake is spending time with a new woman, Jenica, who, it turns out, is also his new bartender. By the end of the episode, Jake appears to break up with her.

Isn't this what you want?
In a strange demonstration of "support" for Lily's ideas and ability, Christy assigns her to work with Grahame on a special project to develop ideas for outside funding. This is a very uncomfortable pairing for Lily, and moreso for Rick.

Noelle, Noelle
Christy hires a temp to fill in for Lily while she is on assignment with Grahame. This temp, Noelle, is young, pretty, and not quite all there. She also seems to be a great distraction for Grahame, which further irritates Lily.

Is this wierd for you?
Judy and Karen have lunch at Phil's Restaurant. At Judy's questioning about the upcoming Rick and Lily wedding, Karen seems unaffected and shrugs indifferently. We also see Jake make a couple of inquiries about who Judy's friend is, eventually introducing himself. It is very telling of Judy's understanding of Jake that she whisks Karen away, preventing further conversation.

There must be some misunderstanding
Lily calls Jake to have him pay for half the repair of the ice damage (this by Rick's prompting). This happens to be just after Judy has told Jake that Will is rebuilding the attic for Rick as a workspace. Jake flatly refuses to pay for the work, thinking that Lily is making him pay for work that only benefits Rick.

Baby clothes
In cleaning out the attic, Lily discovers several things - primarily the girls' baby clothes, and an egg coddler. She gives the coddler to Judy but holds on to the baby clothes. Later, she attempts to give Tiffany the baby clothes (we're never sure if it's because she feels sorry for Tiffany, or because she wants to irritate Jake). Tiffany, in a display of style and grace, only takes one item, suggesting instead that the rest go to Judy. Later, we see Lily giving the clothes to a gushing Judy.

Caught in the act
As Lily rushes back to her desk to pick up something (her phone) that she left behind, she sees Grahame and Noelle making out. Her first instinct is that Grahame has coerced Noelle into this position and is harassing her. When Noelle comes over to apologize, Lily discovers (much to her surprise) that Noelle is doing this willingly - "Everyone here is so relaxed I thought I'd just go for it. Am I in trouble?"

Stop bothering Judy Brooks
Jake (in very Jake form) confronts Paul in the kitchen of the restaurant and demands that Paul stop bothering Judy. We see Jake being the family defender, and he ends the confrontation by pushing Paul around. We also see that Jake is still very frazzled by the gun incident.

Jake the defender
Judy twice makes Jake defend her - once when she mentions that Paul MAY be stalking her (leading to the confrontation above) and a second time when she thinks she hears a prowler outside of Booklovers. Instead of calling the police or Lily, she calls Jake (seemingly by habit) and he comes right over with a police officer.

Confused IDs
Throughout the episode we see that characters are often confusing one person for another in phone calls - revealing what they are thinking.
Jake calls Lily "Tiffany"
Jake calls Judy "Tiffany"
Lily calls Jake "Rick"
Lily calls Rick "Jake"

Shoe on the other foot
Judy goes to see Will in the attic to ask him to help her with a security system for Booklovers because of the prowler. He admits to being the "prowler" and also to making the two phone calls. He then opens up and tells her how difficult it's been for him after she dumped him. He also tells her that she's been the unfeeling one. Her response is that she's never been in this position before - she's always been the hurt one. She asks if he can forgive her and his response is immediate - yes.

It looks to me like FUOT takes place over a 5-day period, beginning in the wee hours Tuesday morning (11:43 as Bonnie reminds us ).. I'm suggesting the first day of the work week is past, since Lily is dwelling on work things/being unappreciated.

Day one (Tuesday) -- begins really early, with the ice cream and possible "other things" before....Christie proposes team project for Lily and Graham.. Rick bumps into Will at the house.. Judy and the girls eat at Phil's, say good night to Jennica....the egg coddler revealed and icy meeting between Judy and Will....Lily showers and Rick learns about J&W's brief encounter... bed talk #1 (Jake should pay, Lily tells about working with Graham)..

Day two (Wednesday) -- Lily trains Noelle and asks Jake to pay half... Judy/Karen lunch at Phil's...Judy finds Will at Lily's, talks attics and bolts when Rick arrives....Jake calls Lily at work to say he won't pay half/Lily wants Tiffany's number..
**Tricky part** later that day? Lily home early because it's still light out? takes Tiffany to the attic to share baby clothes.... That night, Judy hears stalker at BL, gets Jake's help.... Much later that night (1:03AM), bed talk #2, Rick says Lily should quit/Lily mispronounces Drentell/what consequences....

Day three (Thursday) -- Christie feels unappreciated to Lily...Lily retrieves cell phone that evening and catches Noelle and Graham embracing.... Fight with Jake in the attic..

Day four (Friday) -- Stressed Jake pushes Paul in the kitchen.... Graham and Lily to work late w/o Noelle, following Lily's tongue-lashing.... Jake phones Lily to try to apologize for what's past, says he will pay for the ice damage..

Day five (Saturday) -- Lily and Judy and the baby clothes....Will says he won't be back until Tuesday... Judy's attic, no explanation tongue-lashing from Will.... Rick arrives and Lily tells him Jake took girls away for the weekend.... "It had to be you!"

What was that letter?
When in Grahame's office, Lily read a letter addressed to him. It was to thank Grahame for his "generous" donation to a foundation that cares for children who have HIV/AIDS.

Appearance of the Wreath
When Rick is in the attic with Will, the scene begins with him walking past a section of wall. Center right is the wreath. He looks directly at it as he walks past. This is the very wreath sent by fans to the cast and crew of Once and Again following the first season. See more info and pictures of the wreath here

Key under the mat
Both Judy and Lily apparently leave a key under the front mat - Judy at Booklovers, and Lily at home.

Wardrobe? Wardrobe?
In the scene when Lily is on the phone with Jake, she glances over at Graham and the girl in the office he is flirting with is wearing the same black long sleeve sweater with light gray cuffs and neckline that Sela wore in a brief scene in Outside Hearts when she is speaking to Mrs. Brooks on the telephone discussing the argument she had had with Judy. -- Marco

Insurance?
Jake and Lily are arguing over who will pay for the damage to Lily's house caused by ice damming. Shouldn't that be covered by homeowner's insurance? -- AdamBomb1701
