Also, Melissa gets a special message from the other Melissa, Melissa Joan Hart ("Melissa & Joey").

Then, America's favorite sport (baseball) meets America's favorite pastime (making internet dance videos) when the Harvard baseball teams performs "Call Me Maybe." Plus, the final $10,000 dance-off is between family dance team "The Nive Nulls" from Torrance, California and the all-girl group, "Just Girls" from Kansas City, Missouri.
