How It All Goes Down
- The first campers start to arrive and Jules immediately feels old.
- They make it through the first hurdle: getting the parents to leave.
- Manny and Edie have charged them with injecting new life into the camp without bringing in commercial elements.
- Not surprisingly, no one really cares that Jules used to be a camper there. Well, except Jules.
- Dennis seems to be taking well to the camp atmosphere, and being out of the city and away from constant financial trouble helps them both.
- Jules has a hard time remembering that she's not a camper; Dennis, however, thinks she probably likes to be away from those teepees now and living in a real house.
- Jules and Dennis tentatively talk about the first day and how it went.
- Then they give up on talking about it and seek comfort in the familiar act of sex.
- Jules thinks of her mom and wonders how she lived without finding a new partner for so long.
- Dennis asks her if she's happy, which is really all he wants.
- Jules is really distracted during sex, thinking about the scene like she's standing outside it—she doesn't know if she's actually happy.
- The next morning, everything is still running smoothly.
- A couple weeks later, Dennis asks if Jules is still happy.
- Jules doesn't really answer the question, though… again.
- They walk to the nearby town and sit down with some coffee when the phone rings: The generator went out at camp.
- They realize they can't sit and do nothing, and also that every day brings a new problem.
- One of the campers is an anorexic dancer with a crush on a counselor who worries that the nurse will make her leave if she doesn't eat more.
- Jules tries to bond with the girls in their teepees but it's just awkward because she's old.
- She quickly realizes that the job is way less creative than she thought it would be—they have to worry about a bunch of boring stuff like grocery deliveries.
- She thinks that the Wunderlichs were all about curating people and she doesn't want to be a curator.
