== Plot ==
At dinner Tiffany purposely teases Phoebe and pushes Ian to be forward with her. She also flirts with and gets forward with Gerald and talk's down on Philip for being a cheap low life all to make Phoebe angry. While Phoebe is trying to play along loosely and get through the date Tiffany texts her saying she's being too boring and needs to get more provocative if she doesn't want her secret to come out. Phoebe is forced to get flirtier with Ian. Julia then texts Phoebe asking to talk and Phoebe asks for her to rescue her from the restaurant. Julia agrees to be there in 15 minutes but Phoebe's worried about stalling that long. Tiffany makes another push to get Phoebe to be more direct with Philip and the two end up kissing. Tiffany laughs and leaves with Gerald planning to kick Philip out for good later. Phoebe and Ian are left alone and Ian goes for another kiss, but Julia arrives to rescue her. Phoebe excuses herself and leaves with Julia. Outside Phoebe thanks Julia for the save and Julia confronts her about her suspicions of her actually being Philip. Phoebe/Philip uses her/his natural voice and admits she's right but begs her not to tell their boss as she really needs the job. Julia promises to keep the secret and says how she's amazed at how convincing Phoebe has been but Phoebe begins to cry behind her. Julia asks what's wrong and offers her comfort. A few minutes later, after Phoebe explains what happened, Julia agrees what Tiffany did was despicable. Julia admires how far Philip was willing to go to get a decent paying job and knows how life can be hard sometimes. Left with nowhere to go now that Tiffany will no doubt be kicking him out in the morning if not sooner Julia offers Phoebe to move in with her as her previous roommate moved out recently and she needs help paying rent. While Phoebe is concerned about not being a real girl Julia assures her she doesn't mind so long as Philip is a good roommate. The two embrace and Julia admits she thought Philip was cute in his normal form. The two then leave to pick up Philips things from Tiffany's planning to move in with Julia right away.
