Scott Pilgrim vs. the World[]
During their first date, Scott and Ramona are caught in the middle of a blizzard. They arrive at Ramona's Apartment through Subspace. Ramona makes tea for them both in the kitchen and lists all of the flavours in the cabinet to him. Ramona goes to fetch Scott a blanket as he is cold. After waiting, he walks to Ramona's bedroom, but finds out that's Ramona's changing, and apologizes. Ramona decides to let Scott sleep in Ramona's bed for the night, though he strips down, the two agree not to have sex without consent. The next morning, Scott asks Ramona to come to the first round of the Toronto International Battle of the Bands at the Rockit, when Ramona leaves, Scott asks Ramona for her phone number and Ramona gives it to him along with a cryptic message.
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off[]
The apartment appears in every episode of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off where Ramona is seen dyeing her hair at the beginning of each episode with the exception of "Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life" and "2 Scott 2 Pilgrim".
In "Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life", similar to the first volume and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, after going on a date with Scott, both Ramona and Scott head back to Ramona's apartment via Subspace. Ramona gets changed in her bedroom and Scott accidentally walks in after sitting freezing in the kitchen of the apartment. Both Scott and Ramona slowly go into the bed and begin to kiss. Waking up the next morning, Scott is told to leave by Ramona as she has to go to work but agrees to come to Sex Bob-omb's concert at the Rockit. After Scott supposedly dies at the hands of Matthew Patel and after attending Scott's funeral, Ramona returns to the apartment and reminisces about her brief time with Scott. When she goes to sleep, she hears Scott's voice in his Dream Desert and wakes up realising that Scott might actually be alive, triggering her to investigate his disappearance.
Up until "WHODIDIT", the apartment is only seen at the beginning of each episode where Ramona goes into the bathroom to dye her hair. In "WHODIDIT", after continuing to search for Scott, Ramona bumps into Knives Chau, Young Neil, Stephen Stills and Kim Pine who went to her apartment to give her information about her Scott case, Ramona unlocks the door and tells them that she has managed to crack the case and they all congregate in the kitchen. When Ramona explains what she has investigated, Knives tells her that the script that was thought to have been written by Young Neil, was written fourteen years in the future. Immeditally afterwards, Scott arrives back on Ramona's doorstep and reveals that it was "him" that was behind his disappearance, which leaves everyone shocked.
In "2 Scott 2 Pilgrim", after explaining to Ramona and the others what had happened to him, Scott reveals that Ramona's future self was also present in the apartment. Ramona and Future Ramona take pictures with one another before the latter returns to the future. Afterwards, Scott and Ramona reunite but they are prevented from kissing due to the Anti-Kiss Field. After speculating that Scott might still need to defeat the Evil Exes before dating Ramona, Knives states that all of the Exes will be at the premiere for Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Musical.
In "The World Vs Scott Pilgrim", Ramona dyes her hair one last time and leaves to hang out with Scott, Steven, Young Neil, Kim and Knives.
