Brenda calls Dylan from jail in the hopes of keeping her arrest a secret, but he is forced to tell her parents. Brenda's friends avoid her out of fear of being accessories after the fact and Kelly acts angry because she is tired of Dylan coming to Brenda's rescue. Brenda faces felony charges, as her crime was a federal offense. An FBI agent who had gone undercover with the activists offers her immunity in exchange for her testimony. Kelly apologizes for shunning Brenda. Andrea gives Donna a healthy puppy (whom they name Rocky II) to take her mind off Rocky's death. Meanwhile, Steve and his overbearing father, Rush, take on a baseball star and his father in a father/son golf tournament. Steve catches his father cheating and forces him to complete the game honestly. Also, Lucinda finally receives a grant for her movie and leaves the university. The nosy reporter Josh threatens to expose Brandon's affair with Lucinda unless he endorses his campaign for student president. Brandon calls his bluff and Josh eventually has second thoughts.

When Steve accidentally discovers that the KEG house president, Mike Ryan, is a closeted homosexual he faces a crisis of conscience: to tell or not to tell? While working with Kelly to recruit guys for the "Men of CU" beefcake calendar that they're working on, Donna goes on a spontaneous date with D'Shawn just to make David jealous when she finds him flirting with his blind savant piano teacher Holly.
