There's just one more week to go before the season finale of October Road.  Next week, Dancing with the Stars' Stacy Keibler guest-stars in the back-to-back, two-hour season finale entitled “The Fine Art of Surfacing” and “As Soon as You are Able.”

This week though, in the show's penultimate broadcast this season, the boys of Knights Ridge, Massachusetts are shaken out of their day-to-day lives with news of their childhood crush's death.  Read on for spoilers to tonight's October Road installment, “Stand Alone By Me.”

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

As if their routine doses of romantic, marital and other relationship woes weren't enough, Nick (Bryan Greenberg), Owen (Brad William Henke), Eddie (Geoff Stults) and Physical Phil (Jay Paulson) are startled out of their daily doldrums with the arrival of some grave news.  The boys hear of the unexpected demise of Angela Ferilli - the object of their childhood desires.

The shocking news triggers flashbacks of the four friends' lives when they were no more than 10 years of age.  The trip down memory lane reveals exactly the kind of power Angela wielded over them – something the now-grown-up men realize, has carried over throughout the years right up to the present.

October Road also stars Laura Prepon as Hannah Daniels, Tom Berenger as The Commander, Evan Jones as Ikey, Slade Pearce as Sam, Warren Christie as Ray Cataldo, Odette Yustman as Aubrey, Rebecca Field as barmaid Janet the Planet and Lindy Booth as Pizza Girl.

Tonight's episode features guest appearances by Elizabeth Bogush as Alison Rowan, Destiny Grace Whitlock as Caitlin, Bryce Robinson as Connor, Zach Mills as young Nick, Remy Thorne as young Eddie, Alex Biats as young Owen, Joey Wagner Luthman as young Physical Phil, Matthew Josten as young Ikey, Cameron Palatas as young Ray Cataldo, Bella Thorne as Angela Ferilli, Bridger Zadina as Grizzly, Brien Perry as Rob Bear, Jerry Sherman as the old man and Jean Sincere as the old woman.
