On Paul's long-awaited first camping trip as an adult, he finds neither bliss nor misery. That doesn't mean there were no surprises.
Julia, intent on sharing her acquired wisdom, writes, “The Legacy of Luna,” and goes on a national book tour. While most of the people she comes into contact are proud to meet her, Julia is surprised when she comes under attack from people on both sides of the struggle over the Redwoods.
After fifteen months of categorizing Julia as a terrorist and refusing to negotiate to her, and Pacific Lumber is forced to the table by negative P.R. After Julia turns down their ridiculous first offer, though, will they still be willing to listen?
Julia's first several months in the tree prove to be torturous; from the attacks of Pacific Lumber to eighteen-hour violent storms to freezing temperatures, the challenges are plentiful. In this episode, Julia discusses the lessons learned from her unbelievable struggle.
Joan Baez and Bonnie Raitt, who calls Julia “the great heroine of our time,” pay Julia a visit in the tree. Later, the two music legends give a benefit concert to raise awareness of the struggle to save the Redwoods.
Over the course of Julia's tree-sit, a few people were in direct contact with her. They brought her food, friends, conversation, media personnel, and mail. Julia discovers just how important the feeling of communal support is to her. But how much is too much?
Julia discusses the new ways of thinking she's found from living in Luna while those below say Julia has grown into a more eloquent and articulate person. She credits some of the change to acting as the “microphone on the world's most amazing radio tower.”
