Synopsis:

(From TV Guide)
LeAnn Rimes guest stars as Connie Francis, singing Francis's 1961 hit “Where the Boys Are” on a Bandstand “Memory Lane” special, but the pop star that Meg (Brittany Snow) is concerned about is Bobby Darin. He's also appearing on the show, and she has been assigned to be his “intern” (read: “servant”). It would be a nicer job if Darin were a nicer guy. Meanwhile, Professor Witt (Robby Benson) offers Helen (Gail O'Grady) a ride home from Temple; Henry (Jonathan Adams) and Pete (Matthew John Armstrong) face off---at a poker table; JJ (Will Estes) is just itching to have his cast removed; and Jimmy Riley (Jesse Hutch) announces that he has enlisted in the Marine Corps.

COUNTRY MUSIC SENSATION LEANN RIMES AND ROCKER DUNCAN SHEIK GUEST STAR AS MEG MUST SAY GOODBYE TO AN ICON -- In the midst of a special memory lane "Bandstand," Meg (Brittany Snow) copes with a hostile Bobby Darin (guest star Duncan Sheik) while attempting to help roving columnist Roxanne (Vanessa Lengies) land an interview with the hit singer. In the midst of the chaos, Jimmy Riley (guest star Jesse Hutch ) surprises his dance partner when he shares the big news that he joined the marines. Elsewhere, Jack (Tom Verica), Henry (Jonathan Adams), Nathan (guest star Keith Robinson ) and Pete (guest star Matthew John Armstrong ) spend a rainy day playing an allegedly friendly game of poker. Helen (Gail O’Grady) receives a friendly ride home from her professor (guest star Robby Benson ) while JJ (Will Estes) spends a rainy afternoon drowning his sorrows in beer. Country music sensation LeAnn Rimes guest stars as Connie Francis singing "Where the Boys Are" on "American Bandstand" and Duncan Sheik portrays Bobby Darin singing "Beyond the Sea." Sarah Ramos and Ethan Dampf also star.
