Synopsis:

(From TV Guide)
Beatlemania's sweeping Bandstand (and the Pryor household), but when JJ receives his scholarship letter from Notre Dame the answer isn't “yeah, yeah, yeah.” Still, Jack vows that he'll find a way to pay the tuition. Meanwhile, it has been 27 days since Luke (Jamie Elman) has kissed Meg, and she's getting concerned. And Helen won't allow Patty to watch the Fab Four on “The Ed Sullivan Show” unless she's successful in her effort to get Will to memorize the names of the 12 apostles. Ted Pryor: Christopher Cousins. Pete: Matthew John Armstrong.

(From NBC)
BEATLEMANIA GRIPS THE PRYOR HOUSEHOLD AS JJ FACES A DIFFICULT DECISION - The Beatles' arrival in America sends the country and the Pryor household into a frenzy, except for a concerned JJ (Will Estes), who receives word that Notre Dame has denied him a full scholarship. Determined to afford his son’s college education, Jack (Tom Verica) seeks financial help from his successful and slightly distant older brother Ted (guest star Christopher Cousins) despite Pete (guest star Matthew John Armstrong ) and Helen’s (Gail O’Grady) concerns. Meanwhile, a confused Meg (Brittany Snow) attempts to classify her relationship with Luke (guest star Jamie Elman ), employing Roxanne’s (Vanessa Lengies) "perfect plan" to determine if the record store clerk is in fact her boyfriend. Rachel Boston, Virginia Madsen, Jonathan Adams, Arlen Escarpeta, Ethan Dampf and Sarah Ramos also star.
