St. Elmo's Fire

As the friends gather at their alma mater's haunt, St. Elmo's Bar, the atmosphere is filled with anticipation and uncertainty. The group is eagerly awaiting news about the condition of Wendy, a selfless individual dedicated to helping others, and Billy, a former party animal turned reluctant husband and father, following a minor car accident caused by Billy's reckless drinking. Meanwhile, Kirby's eyes are glued on Dr. Dale, an object of his college-era affections, whom he spots at the hospital.

The friends' lives are further complicated as they navigate their post-graduation struggles. Billy, who was previously employed thanks to Alec's intervention, finds himself jobless once more. At home, Alec's pressure on Leslie to tie the knot intensifies, but she remains unconvinced about their readiness for marriage. Kirby confides in Kevin about his unrequited love for Dr. Dale, only to be interrupted by Billy's arrival at their apartment, seeking solace after a rough day.

As the group gathers around, Jules makes an unsubstantiated accusation against Kevin, suggesting he harbors secret feelings for Alec.
