(From TV Guide)
News that JJ is a MIA affects all the Pryors in different ways, but Hene's depression is the most striking. Meanwhile Fantasia Barrion, impersonating Aretha Franklin, sings "Respect" on "Bandstand", Sam's new friends in high places are affecting his attitudes; and Luke is getting a bit jealous of the attention that the Organization's drummer (Daniel Capellaro) is paying to Roxanne.

FANTASIA BARRINO ("AMERICAN IDOL") GUEST STARS AS ARETHA FRANKLIN - JJ (Will Estes) is found alive in the jungle by Rene (guest star Phillipe Durand), a Frenchman who takes him in. However, when JJ learns that Rene turns over American soldiers to the Vietcong, he tries to escape. Meanwhile, Meg (Brittany Snow) is upset when she is asked to speak about JJ during the assembly to honor East Catholic students serving in the war. Helen (Gail O'Grady) goes to see a psychiatrist that Beth (Rachel Boston) recommends, but finds that the best medicine is the hope in her new grandson, John Pryor III. Fantasia Barrino ("American Idol") guest stars as Aretha Franklin singing "R-E-S-P-E-C-T." Tom Verica, Jonathan Adams, Arlen Escarpeta, Vanessa Lengies, Sarah Ramos, and Ethan Dampf also star.
