In this episode, after a lot of kicking and struggling and a lengthy session of small talk during which she informs Alvin that she will actually be accompanying him to summer school this year, Johanna... finally drags her depressed brother into twon and all the way out to the state fair. There, Alvin manages to take a few steps toward recovery - first, when he decides to win a prize for Johanna in a shooting game, and next, mustering the courage to have a brief chat with his bumbling, alcohol-dependent friend Henry. After a quick stop at the bar (where we learn that Johanna is not much of a beer fan), brother and sister take the time to watch the fireworks at the waterfront, and this is when Alvin begins to sense that there might be something bigger than pure brotherly and sisterly empathy between himself and the gentle red-headed fairy next to him...
