Unknown to Athena and Margaret, Steve wasn't the only one to turn into a hippie. Three other people somewhere in town had also become hippies, and they were police officer Danielle Chase, Baptist preacher Jacob Foster, and Vic Rudolph, who was a man that was in prison for murder, among other violent crimes. All three of these people suddenly had their lives completely changed. But since they didn't hear Athena's wish, they all thought that they were supposed to be hippies.
Danielle never became a cop. She hated them. She hated anyone who chose violence over peace.
Jacob never became a preacher. Instead, to this day, he lived in his van and used his talent of mixing different drugs together to create new and fascinating ways to get high. And then he sold these to anyone who wanted them ... while keeping some for himself, of course.
Vic never killed a person in his life. He couldn't even think of hurting anyone. He was a man of peace, not war.
