"The Man I Most Admire" is intended to be Michael's latest composition for school, wondering if Jesse Jackson should be his subject. A discussion about important women in history sees Michael switching over to his mother, but she convinces him to write about his father, scratching and clawing for every job just to see that the family gets everything they need. Just then James returns home early from a job interview that he just wasn't comfortable about keeping, and though Thelma and JJ try to cheer him up he calls them on it. He figures Michael's writing was also a con job, until Florida reads it out loud for the whole family to enjoy, not the best educated man but the best father he can be. It's episodes like this that make the post-James entries seem pointless.
