Meg, une jeune fille comme il faut, tente de changer son image de gentille fille, en devenant membre d'un groupe musical, et connue. Les changements de personnalité de Meg et de sa mère vont créer des problèmes avec le père de famille

JJ, tender ankle and all, arrives at Lehigh to begin football practice. And Roxanne, who's still on the outs with Meg, meets someone she has been on the outs with for eight years: her father.

And the Girard Avenue store is about to open, but the timing could be better: riots in Harlem have prompted the Philadelphia police to consider a curfew for North Philly.
