 During Presidents Weekend, the gang goes to Palm Springs where Dylan wants to meet Brenda there to have some time alone for themselves. But Brenda forgets which hotel she is supposed to meet Dylan. Wanting to be cool to fit in with the gang, David forgoes going with Scott to Magic Mountain and takes Steve, Kelly and Donna to his grandparents house where they upstage him with their own outgoingness. David also meets a wild college girl wanting to spend time with him. Meanwhile, Brandon stays home and befriends a homeless boy, named Curtis, that walks into the Peach Pit every day looking for a free meal.
