The boys' annual camping trip is disturbed by a gathering of hippies, who share their food with Bobby and expect sharing in return.

After Bill nurses Hank, Peggy and Bobby through the flu, he starts to feel lonely when there is no one else to take care of. Hank gets Bill to volunteer at a halfway house for alcoholics, and Bill invites the residents to stay with him. As more and more houseguests show up, Hank becomes determined to find them a permanent residence. Meanwhile, Peggy makes a promise to God that if she gets over the flu, she'll learn to ride a bike, and Bobby makes her keep her promise.

After Hank falls in love with organic food he starts his own mini co-op garden in his back yard.
