While listening to Jim Crocce's "Time in a Bottle," (often mistakenly referred to by its first line, "If I could save time in a bottle") Dinah describes how it was used in the episode of the Hardy Boys in which one of the boys lost his girlfriend, though she can't recall which one. She remembers because she had such a crush on Shaun Cassidy. The episode was the season three opener, "The Last Kiss of Summer," in which Joe Hardy, played by Cassidy, goes after the person responsible for his fiancee's death. The song featured in the episode is actually "If" by Bread, vocal by David Gates. The rest of the characters say Dinah only remembers well because she had so few choices, making those she did have easier to remember. She doesn't remember the specific episode or which Hardy brother was featured; the one detail she does remember, the song, she remembers incorrectly.
