The plot of this episode concerned a visit to the Morgendorfer residence by old friends of [[Jake]] and [[Helen]] (old friends from the hippie movement of the 1960s). Their friends, and their reluctant, "slacker" son, have been attempting to keep the spirit of the 60s alive, driving around in an old Volkswagon van, replacing their dog (named for Timothy Leary) with identical dogs with the same name, forbidding their son to participate in athletics, earning a living by selling hemp products, and in general attempting to live a lifestyle that Daria characterizes as "voluntary simplicity."
