The story

Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Will surprises Bailey showing up at his place for a weekend visit. After seeing how frequently (and how much) Bailey drinks beer and hard liquor on a daily basis, Will thinks Bailey drinks too much after learning that he never appears to stop. Will asks Sarah what is going on, but she does not want to talk about Bailey because of their recent breakup... because of Bailey drinking all the time. Before leaving town to return to college, Will privately tries to advise Bailey about cutting back on his excessive drinking, but Bailey convinces Will that it is no big deal.

Callie asks Bailey to move into her room. Meanwhile, Grace's apartment burns down, so she moves into the Salinger house. Charlie does not want Julia to turn down Stanford. Julia, angry with Charlie, moves to Sam's so she would not have to listen to him. Charlie does not want her there, and they have a big fight. Upset over Julia invading his privacy, Sam tells Julia she should go back to the house. Seeing how drunk that Bailey frequently is, Claudia tries to get Bailey to stop drinking, but he ignores her. Note: Bailey shows Will his fake ID and Will states there is 'No way he could pass for twenty-seven'. At the time of filming, Scott Wolf was in fact twenty-seven.
