Episode 1
Mon, Sep 27, 1965
Joy is dropped off at the beach by her mother, a fashion designer, who is concerned about her daughter's activities and highly suspicious of her friends. Joy, for her part, chafes under her mother's attention and discusses it with her friend Barbara. Barbara laments that her boyfriend Tad is busy with both his college education and football, leaving her little time to see him. She likes Tad not only due to his looks but also his rich father. Joy remarks to Barbara that she'll find her true love one day, but Barbara advises her to get "real." Barbara's sister Susan talks with her friend Alfy, a Liverpudlian who fancies himself an intellectual. Susan remarks to Barbara that she likes Alfy but isn't trying to "hold him." Alfy talks about his time playing with his band, which he claims to have detested and dismisses as plebeian despite Susan's remarks to the contrary. A new teen arrives at the beach in his van, and Jo Jo is sent to welcome him. The newcomer's name is Chet Brandon, who lives out of his van and implies that he ran away from home. Alfy takes a liking to him almost immediately. He and Joy show Chet around. Alfy brings him into the "High Dive," a local hangout where Alfy often brings in live entertainment. Chet tells joy he's graduated from school and works as an auto mechanic. When she comments on it he becomes agitated and defensive before leaving. Joy calls her mother and promises to be home early; her mother insists that Tad and Barbara drive her home. That night, everyone gathers at the High Dive, but Joy and Chet seem reticent. She finally walks over and apologizes to him for her remarks, and he accepts her apology and offers to drive her home. Despite her mother's wishes, she agrees and they walk out together.
