(From TV Guide)
Jason Mraz (Dion) and Fefe Dobson (Tina Turner) are the guest impersonators on “Bandstand,” where Roxanne wants a hairstyling job. She also has boy woes: Lenny's return has clearly rattled Luke. Meanwhile, Beth makes a decision about her pregnancy; Nathan (Keith Robinson) is drafted, and Sam tries to get Meg to talk to Drew about his CO status; JJ's unit goes on a mission with a by-the-book new corporal (John Sloan); Jack considers his political options over coffee with Will's former teacher, the former Sister Grace (Robyn Lively); Will might be made to repeat fourth grade; and Patty uses hamster chips to get closer to Carl (Wes Robinson).

(From NBC)
JASON MRAZ GUEST-STARS AS 'DION' AND FEFE DOBSON AS 'TINA TURNER' - Corporal Stewart (guest star John Sloan), The Untouchables new squad leader, puts JJ (Will Estes) and his squad in jeopardy, and then lies to their sergeant by wrongfully blaming Pham Son (guest star Tang Nguyen). After this incident, Corporal Stewart makes a call during another enemy encounter, where Private Perez (guest star JD Pardo) decides to take matters into his own hands, and JJ has to step up and take command of the squad. Helen (Gail O'Grady) and Jack (Tom Verica) also take matters into their own hands after finding out that Beth's (Rachel Boston) parents have disowned her since she will keep the baby, which creates an interesting situation for Jack, who has decided to run for city councilman. Meanwhile, the Walker family is dealing with Nathan (guest star Keith Robinson) returning to jail since he unsuccessfully contested the draft as a conscientious objector, and as Patty's (Sarah Ramos) interest in Carl (guest star Wes Robinson) culminates to a date, Luke (guest star Jamie Elman) makes a hard decision about his relationship with Roxanne (Vanessa Lengies). Jason Mraz ("Remedy") guest-stars as Dion signing "Ruby Baby," and Fefe Dobson ("Take Me Away") guest-stars as Tina Turner singing "River Deep Mountain High." Brittany Snow, Jonathan Adams, Arlen Escarpeta, and Ethan Dampf also star.
