The episode starts at the Lane residence where Trent has just been given his parents’ old record collection and he and Jesse are trying to find the good ones and to experience the warmth of vinyl, but end up experiencing the warmth of a radio commercial for fish sticks. They eventually give up and commission Daria and Jane to help them sell the records at the flea market the next day.
When Daria gets home from Jane’s, Helen is there, so she knows even before their visitors are announced that something is wrong. It turns out that Willow and Coyote, a hippie couple who lived with Jake and Helen in their hippie days are coming to visit and Helen wants it to seem that they’re still flower children.
Willow, Coyote, and their son (whom Quinn, of course, thinks is cute) arrive for dinner (which includes a hilarious journey down memory lane on Jake’s part), shortly after which Daria leaves to spend the night at Jane’s (though not before convincing Quinn to stay home to report any interesting stories from the past that could be used against Jake and Helen).
Once there, she’s not only embarrassed about being around Trent, she’s forgotten to bring her pajamas, so she has to wear Jane’s grandmother’s nightgown, plus they have to wake up at six ‘o’clock to go to the flea market. In the morning, after driving to the flea market and setting up, Trent and Jesse instantly pass out, as they decided that it was easier to stay up all night than to wake up at six. Thus, Jane and Daria are left to fend off the Bertha the Enormous Land Whale of a Woman (Ms. Johanson from “Café Disafecto”) and Upchuck, who is looking to add to his collection of fast food toys. Finally Trent wakes up and Jane makes him go with Daria to get drinks, then she and Jesse go to get something to eat (resulting in a very humorous discussion about primitive hunting urges, shopping, and April 1st, 2007), leaving Upchuck to care for the records. Upchuck, however, gets distracted by the promise of vintage girlie magazines, and deserts the booth, which quickly gets demolished.
Meanwhile, the Morgendorffers have managed to bond with their old friends again, causing them to give up their earth-loving ways to some extent. Helen’s gotten Willow to admit that she hates gardening and making bread and Jake is busy teaching Coyote how to play golf. By the time that they’re almost fully corrupted and Quinn has recorded some extremely embarrassing stories with her eye pencil, Daria gets back. Soon afterward, the Yeagers leave and Jake tries to pawn his old records off on Daria.
