Time to go back to where it all started. Lexi learns about the early days of Peter's fandom and taper journey as she binges the 1992 Fall Tour while Helen and Jess leave her home alone for a week. And while the early days are more innocent, Lexi's obsession takes a darker turn as she starts to put herself in danger with some of these older, decaying tapes. In her travels, she learns how to perfect a grilled cheese sandwich, deal with overzealous fans, and the importance of renewing your passport.
