Cindy and Jim rekindle their relationship as Brandon and Brenda realize their differences. Cindy reexamines her relationship with Jim when she bumps into Glenn Evans, an old friend from college who’s living an "artist’s” lifestyle in Venice Beach. Each time she thinks of Glenn, her sexual and emotional feelings towards him begin to stir.
