The Hilgendorf family has moved in next door to the Kappa Tau house, and their presence is putting a damper on the KTs' festivities. When their rules get to be too much of an interference, Rusty and Cappie decide to "borg" Professor Tom Hilgendorf - i.e., to bring him in and make him a KT pledge. Once inducted into the Kappa Tau world, Tom doesn't seem to want to leave, making Cappie rethink his plan to eventually graduate.

Casey and Cappie get a surprise visit from Cappie's parents, April and Tobias - who proceed to invite the couple to join them on a camping trip. While at first reluctant, Casey decides to go, in hopes that they may be able to encourage Cappie to choose a major and graduate with her. But she quickly learns that his parents are free-loving hippies who think Cappie should just relax and continue to enjoy his college experience.
