In an effort to prove she's not such a ""girly-girl"" Sharon decides to form an all girl rock group for a battle of the bands contest sponsored by a ‘girls' magazine. Dion, thrilled at the opportunity to design their outfits, jumps on board, but when Mangled Metal hears about the gender limitations they are outraged. As a result, they decide to disguise themselves as females so they can enter the contest as well--and win the expensive music equipment. So as the girls take a walk on the masculine side (I'm not sure that joining a rock group is necessarily a masculine thing to do), the guys dress like Britney Spears wannabes and call themselves the Mangled Petals. Hilarity ensues when everything comes out in the open at the concert – literally.

Brock and Maria start to play pranks on each other. The practical jokes catch on and soon everyone joins in on the ‘fun'. Feeling left out, Sharon becomes desperate to be part of the crowd.

Sharon scares him with a rubber cockroach and it goes over big with everyone. That is, everyone except Alyson and Connor who is furious and feels betrayed. Sharon tries to ‘jolly' him out of his mood--she was sure he'd gotten over it--but Connor doesn't forgive her. And later Sharon gets upset when she discovers that Connor has divulged one of Sharon's minor secrets to Alyson.

Sharon, the only one in her crowd who's not half of a couple, overcompensates by raving about her romantic Italian boyfriend, Marcello. So when he announces he's coming to visit, she's over the moon. And when he arrives, everything is great! But not for long; his ‘European-ness' doesn't translate well to North America. Instead of being romantic and poetic, he just seems dorky and cornball. In an effort to recapture what they had, Sharon tries to make Marcello over into a more North Americanized version. When that doesn't work, she tries to avoid being alone with him. But Marcello doesn't take the hint. Then she tries to turn him off by making herself unattractive. When her scheme fails, Sharon is forced to hire ‘Dirty Work', a project that Adam and his pals started for their Economics Class. Their service is to do the deeds someone can't do on their own. But when the ‘Dirty Work' messenger accidentally gives Connor the message, he thinks Alyson is trying to break up with him. Now Sharo
