After getting in a fight with his boyfriend, Joe Vega (Cyrus Stark) finds himself on the side of the road with an uncharged phone and a whole lot of stress. He's relieved when he's picked up by Blaine Mueller (Jak Jaxx). Blaine brings The Hitchhiker back to his house to waste some time before heading into the city and shares his expectations for the ride. Spencer Jennings (Brian Bonds) is a low-budget doctor who sees people in his house. Still on his parents' insurance (and not wanting them to see his prescriptions), Donovan Lucero (Trevor Harris) visits Dr. Jennings in hopes of getting on Prep. When Dr. Jennings is asking Donovan qualifying questions, he realizes there's something Donovan needs to do before he's eligible for the script.
