This slow-moving but likable story about Johnny's perhaps nonexistent band is the first of three scripts by Deanne Stillman. Principal Dingleman (Basil Hoffman) asks the students what careers they want and is supportive of everyone, except Johnny, since (as we see in a black & white flashback) the Dingletones were an unsuccessful answer to Fabian. Marshall sets out to prove the principal wrong, despite Johnny's doubts. We also find out that Patty wants to be a writer, which is of course ironic in light of Sex and the City. We do get to see Johnny perform at the grocery store where he's a box boy. Also notable for Patty and Lauren talking in sync, which makes Lauren jokingly suggest they go steady.
John Densmore, drummer for the Doors, appears as himself. Karen Armstrong returns as Cindy.
