Plot: June 1970. Brady Conroy (Josh Hartnett) and Celeste (Aimee Teegarden) are out for a nice dinner in downtown San Francisco. Celeste asks if they can finally take a minute to talk about their relationship. Brady isn't fond of the idea, but he finally relents. Celeste asks Brady if he is ever going to want to marry her. Brady tells her that he's already been married once before and he isn't particularly interested in going down that road again, no matter how much he likes being with Celeste. Celeste is shocked that Brady has never mentioned being married before to her. He says that he felt it wasn't really relevant information. Celeste gets frustrated with Brady's lack of commitment to her and leaves the restaurant. Brady asks the waitress for another drink.

Brady heads back home to his apartment. The phone is ringing as he enters. He answers the phone and it's his mother Colleen Conroy (Frances Conroy) on the other end. She excitedly tells him that his brother Jimmy is going to be released early from prison in a month. Brady isn't as enthused as his mother, but she reminds him that he had previously promised to pick him up from prison upon his release. She gives him Jimmy's release date, and then quickly segues the conversation into asking Brady if he's ever going to get married again. Brady tells her that he has no such plans. Colleen is disappointed since she was hoping that she would be a grandmother by now. Brady assures his mother that he'll pick Jimmy up from prison when he's released. She thanks him and hangs up.

Brady heads into the Rolling Stone offices. The office is empty aside from Kylee Hargrove (Alicia Witt) and Jann Wenner (Karl Glusman). Kylee is reading magazines at the reception desk, while Wenner is doing some editing in his office. Brady asks Kylee if there are any assignments, but she isn't sure and calls out for Wenner, who emerges from his office. He tells Brady that his pal Wavy Gravy, who Brady had met at Ken Kesey's farm has just been flown into the city for back surgery. Brady is surprised that Wavy Gravy's surgery is considered news worthy, but Wenner tells him about how Wavy Gravy has been touring universities on a so-called "good vibe" mission. Wenner tells him what hospital Wavy Gravy is at and tells him to go catch up with the hippie clown.

Brady goes to the hospital and shows the nurses his press credentials and asks to see Wavy Gravy. One of the nurses leads Brady to Wavy Gravy's room, where the clown is as jovial as ever, even in the hospital and without the makeup. Brady re-introduces himself to Wavy Gravy, but he remembers Brady, saying he never forgets a journalist. Brady asks how he's doing. Wavy tells him that things are pretty damn good all things considered. Wavy mentions that he recently got out of jail, which surprises Brady since he's such a friendly character. Wavy explains that he was recently in Boston on his mission to spread good vibes and the cops were out to get him in and his gang of friends on tour with him. The cops started tearing the bus apart, so Wavy and his friends started helping the cops search the bus since nobody was carrying anything at that point. They then searched their hotel room and claimed to have discovered some marijuana, but it was certainly planted. Wavy says the charges were quickly dropped and now that he's getting his back surgery, he can hopefully get back to his passion project of setting up a series of large cooperative farms across the country. After the interview, Wavy Gravy and Brady smoke a joint next to the window in the hospital room.

Brady, still high from smoking with Wavy Gravy, knocks on the door of Celeste's dorm room. She answers and begrudgingly lets him in. She is in the midst of packing up her things since the school year is about to end. She asks what he wants. He gives her a key. She looks at it, confused. He tells her that he wants her to move in with him. He may not want to get married, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to be with her. Plus, it will allow her to stay in San Francisco rather than having to return to Oregon for summer break. Celeste gives Brady a hug. Brady starts loading up Celeste's boxes into his car. He stares at Celeste as as she brings more things out, unsure if he's made the right decision by asking her to move in with him.
