Synopsis:
(From TV Guide)
Pryor dreams turn to ashes over the final weekend of August 1964 in the first-season finale, as JJ (Will Estes) must deal with the end of his football career. He does so decisively---too decisively for Beth (Rachel Boston) and his mother. Meanwhile, preparations are under way for Meg's Sweet 16 birthday party, but Sam (Arlen Escarpeta) has declined his invitation. “He thinks we're too different,” she tells Roxanne. Meg is so troubled by it that she decides to confront Sam at the Girard Avenue store where he's working, and she arrives just as North Philly erupts in a race riot. Stacie Orrico has a cameo as the lead singer of the girl group the Angels, singing “My Boyfriend's Back.

Unaware of the violent situation building around her, Meg attempts to save her friendship with Sam (Arlen Escarpeta), visiting him at the new store, and finds herself in the middle of the urban chaos. Elsewhere, an angry Nathan (guest star Keith Robinson) who helped incite the violence, urges the enraged rioters forward, while Pete (guest star Matthew John Armstrong) and the rest of Philadelphia's finest race to quell the disturbance. Meanwhile, a defeated JJ (Will Estes) returns from Lehigh after being kicked off the football team and makes a surprising announcement to Jack (Tom Verica) and Helen (Gail O'Grady) about his future.
