In the three years since their meeting about the World Wide Web, Joe and Gordon have formed CalNect, a new internet service provider, in the former Mutiny offices. Joe expresses his frustration over Cameron’s inability to get their web browser, Loadstar, completed after Gordon shows him Mosaic, a new browser gaining in popularity. While doing a focus group of her new game Pilgrim, Cameron expresses frustration as the testers show disinterest towards the game. For his 40th birthday, Gordon has a lavish backyard party featuring a performance by Blue Man Group. At the party, Diane tells Bosworth that CalNect would face stiff competition from America Online if they expand west. After Cameron gives Joe the final version of Loadstar, he gets a new idea, a way to index every website on the Internet. At her venture capital firm, AGGE, Donna meets with a startup company called Rover, and she gives them funding after they propose to use their algorithm originally designed for cataloging medical databases to index websites and make them searchable.

At AGGE, Donna complains to Diane about a new senior partner, Trip Kisker, being brought on to the firm. Atari informs Cameron that they have decided to shelve Pilgrim indefinitely. As customer service calls increase at CalNect, Gordon tells his employees to contact their backbone provider MCI to increase their bandwidth capacity; however, he realizes that MCI is starting their own ISP when they refuse Gordon's request.

Atari discovers that Pilgrim was leaked to Electronic Gaming Monthly , who gave the game a scathing review, and Cameron claims responsibility for the leak.
