Our protagonist, finding himself back home and at loose ends after graduating from college, has hit upon a Life Plan concocted with a friend while both were tripping on acid -- a rural egalitarian commune. He visits his old college housemates, Carol and Alan, building a retirement home for Alan's parents in the Santa Ana mountains. He proceeds to recruit them to the idea with little difficulty but is then overcome with an illness that forces him back to his home in Pasadena. Once there, and fully in the throes of his malady, he succumbs to ... he's not sure what. Homesick? Sick of home? Sick from home?

In Part Two of Which Road Did You Come From?, what begins as a conversation about collective living turns unexpectedly inward. This episode explores the tension between belonging and becoming, nostalgia and truth, memory and the weight of who we used to be.

What if the place you once called home no longer recognizes you? Or worse—what if it still does?
