Line 17:
The Morgendorffers prepare to receive a couple of old friends for the weekend, the Yeagers. Having shared their counterculture ideals during the hippie years, [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]] is eager to make a good impression. When they arrive, [[Willow Yeager|Willow]] and [[Coyote Yeager]] show to still retain a mellowed attitude and to be living according to the 60s hippie subculture. [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] is unease around the guests and sneaks off to the Lane’s, bribing [[Quinn Morgendorffer|her sister]] to keep the guests company. Quinn, initially reluctant to stay, changes her mind with the appearance the Yeagers' son [[Ethan Yeager|Ethan]].
At the Morgendorffers, the adults reminisce about old times, talking about the time spent in the youth in a commune. At the same time, the Yeagers show bafflement at the Morgendorffers' more modern lifestyle and aggressive attitude, in contrast to the yeagers’ still Hippie habits: they make a living of selling hemp products, are vegetarians and put no pressure on their son to succeed athletically.

At the Lane’s, [[Trent Lane|Trent]] and [[Jesse Moreno|Jesse]] excitedly play old vinyl records, in preparation to sell them at a local flea market the next day.

Daria uses this plans to stay the night at Jane’s, despite her mother’s initial objections. They all leave early the next day and occupy an empty cubicle in the flea market to display the records. Both young men quickly fall asleep, having stayed up all night to make sure to be up at six a.m.

As the day goes on, however, both Coyote and Willow slowly reveal frustration with their lifestyle, including having to keep repairing their old car, wasting time kneading bread, poor hygiene habits and having to buy food in bulk. The Morgendorffers are then in a position to help: Jake provides golf lessons and business advice, and Helen presents Willow with ways to preserve food and save time cooking.
Meanwhile, at the Lanes' cubicle in the Flea Market, business is going slow until [[Upchuck]] visits and charms his way into becoming a salesman. As he stays long enough to sell some records, Jane leaves him in charge while the rest of the party go for a snack: Daria and Trent eat at the food court
The Yeagers leave the following morning,
