Genre: Drama

Writer: D.R. Cobb
Based on the Rolling Stone magazine
Cast: Josh Hartnett, Aimee Teegarden, Alicia Witt, Katherine McNamara and Lynn Collins
Plot: October 1970. Janis Joplin (Lynn Collins) pulls her psychedelically painted Porsche Cabriolet into the Landmark Hotel in Los Angeles. She impatiently waits by the phone, hoping for it to ring. When it doesn't, her eyes begin to focus in on a packet of heroin sitting on the bed. She tries to distract herself by turning on the television and begins watching the currently airing episode of "The Partridge Family" on ABC. She opens up a bottle of Jack Daniels and begins drinking as the episode runs.
Celeste (Aimee Teegarden) is in her dorm struggling to work on an article for her advanced journalism class. She's having trouble tying it together, and to compound the issue, her roommate Kira (Katherine McNamara) brings a boy back into the room to have sex. Celeste gets angry at Kira for bringing a boy to the room while she's doing her work, but Kira says that it's a Friday night and she should be out doing the same type of thing. Celeste leaves the dorm and heads to the campus library, but is unable to get any work done there as well. Finally, Celeste goes to a phone and dials a number.
Brady Conroy (Josh Hartnett) opens the door of his apartment and in steps Celeste. Brady offers Celeste a drink, which she accepts. Celeste then pulls out her in-progress article and asks Brady if he can read it and tell her what he thinks. Brady says that would be inappropriate and unfair to the others in the class. He says it just wouldn't be right for him to give her extra help due to their pre-existing relationship. She tells him that she doesn't want his advice as a teacher, she wants his advice as a friend. She misses the old days when they would stay up late listening to music and he'd give her advice on papers. He reminds her that the circumstances of their relationship has changed. They're no longer an item, no longer in a relationship since she moved out. He says that their relationship should remain scholarly for the time being as a teacher and his student. Celeste steps forward and kisses Brady.
Janis Joplin wakes up in her hotel room with the television blaring Saturday morning cartoons. She gets up out of the bed, head throbbing, morning lights blinding her. She stumbles over to the windows and closes the curtains. She grabs her bottle of Jack Daniels and polishes off the last slug of the drink and tosses the bottle off to the side of the bed. She then plops back down onto the bed, covering her head with a pillow.
Celeste returns to her dorm room in the morning just as Kira's date is leaving. Kira congratulates Celeste on staying out all night. Kira then asks if Celeste ever managed to finish her paper. Celeste says she didn't, but that her mind feels more clear now.
Brady heads down to the Rolling Stone office where he finds the office abuzz about Hunter S. Thompson's campaign for Sheriff of Aspen, Colorado. People are on phones calling on behalf of Thompson encouraging them to vote for him. Campaign posters litter table tops. Brady asks Kylee Hargrove (Alicia Witt) what's going on, and she explains how Thompson has been running for Sheriff. She says that Jann Wenner has allocated some of the magazine's resources to assist in the home stretch of the campaign.
That night, Janis Joplin wakes up and calls for more Jack Daniels to be brought up to her room. She then takes a look at the package of heroin. She pulls out a hypodermic needle and begins preparing a dose.
