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.”

Julia's prediction about getting media attention turns out to be right on, but she never anticipated that they would focus on her more than they focus on the forest she and her colleagues are fighting to save. Julia deals with the negative side effects of being depicted as a superhero.

Julia learns that the record for longest tree-sit is 43 days. Fully aware that breaking such a record could bring media attention to the forest, she vows to stay in the tree well-past the end of her initial two-week commitment. Charles Hurwitz, the Texas millionaire who owns Pacific Lumber, encourages his loggers to step-up production despite the cries of protest from the woods.

On the ground, the police methodically and intentionally apply pepper spray to the eyes of protesters while loggers chase and threaten activists, culminating with the death of an activist. Julia has troubles of her own as Pacific Lumber puts her under a dangerous siege.
