[edit] Plot

Maria Shriver (who guest stars on this episode) decides to get Donna Cabonna's help for a new commercial of a safety plan for fires. Donna and Maria need a band to be in the commercial, so Raven decides to get the Boyz n' Motion (her old friends in Boyz 'N Commotion). However, when she decides to go through the wardrobe with them, their personalities clash and cause the group to break up, just one day before the commercial starts shooting. Now Raven must try to get the band back together in time. Meanwhile, Cory and Victor try to work through their safety plan at home.
