The time is two weeks after Darcy Parker's burial. Katchoo, Francine and David decide to get away to Florida for a week of sun and relaxation after their harrowing experience (as seen in Vol III, issues 1-12) to recuperate and contemplate their future. David and Katchoo begin to open up to each other and share their past, and find they have even more in common than they thought. Francine is worried about wearing a swim suit but finds no problem in attracting attention when she finally takes the plunge!
