Inspired by the example of her English teacher Gary Prescott (Neil Prescott), Julia (Neva Campbell) decides to become a professional writer. At the same time, Avery Baltus (Neil Roberts), an old friend of the late Diana Salinger, offers to transform Claudia (Lacey Chabert) into a violin virtuoso. Ultimately, both Julia and Claudia are persuaded that it is a bit too early to map out the rest of their lives...but not before plenty of tortuous soul-searching and family friction. Meanwhile, Bailey (Scott Wolf) is consumed by guilt over his sexual fling with Callie, especially when Sarah (Jennifer Love Hewitt) insists upon camping out at his apartment to nurse him through the chicken pox.
