When Gayle's job transfers her to Columbus, Ohio earlier than expected, she plans to take Hobie with her. Mitch immediately gets upset about this, because they agreed that Hobie could spend the summer in Los Angeles. Later on the same day, a romantic flame is rekindled between Mitch and Gayle when they are looking through a box of old photos. Because Mitch and Gayle spend the night together, Hobie thinks they will move back in together again. When he finds out otherwise, he gets real disappointed and runs away on his bike.
