Chapter 52: August 2
- Alice is bored to death, but she's happy that she's been able to be a big help to her Gran.
- Bill asks her out on a date and her Gran insists that she go; Alice says she'll just "baby-sit" him if he wants to trip. Sure you will…
Chapter 53: August 3
- The date with Bill is actually a bunch of kids tripping on acid together while his parents are in the city.

- And guess what? This trip is even cooler than the last one.
Chapter 54: August 6

Chapter 58: August 10
- Roger has called a bunch of times but Alice is avoiding him because she's absolutely sick over all the stuff she's done. She thinks if he finds out about her doing drugs and losing her virginity he'll want nothing to do with her.
- She wishes she could talk to someone who knows about drugs, but feels like she can't risk it.
- She's so anxious that she decides she should steal a bunch of her Gramps's sleeping pills to help her sleep while she gets "straightened out."
Chapter 59: August 13
- Alice is feeling mega-shamed: Her parents just called to say how proud they are to have her for a daughter. Whomp whomp.
Chapter 60: August 14
