George is all excited about being invited to speak in front of some youths about his success at what he believes is a college--until he discovers that he's supposed to speak in the Harlem neighborhood where they used to live, to a gang Lionel used to run with as a teen. Later, his fears are justified when the gang loots his delivery van. Charles, a social worker, and Lionel, who is able to retrieve the van from his former friend Ronnie, the gang leader, finally persuade George to speak to the youths.

Lionel comes home in a fury and informs his parents that his English professor is forcing him to rewrite a term paper and make it flawless - or else he will get a failing grade and therefore cannot graduate. George, wanting to see his son be the first Jefferson to graduate college, pays a freelance writer to write that term paper instead and expects Lionel to just turn that one in. While the Willises and Louise thinks that is a bad idea, Lionel likes it, and this results in an argument between the two families and soon a break-up.

He meets a foxy lady at his cleaning store and decides to invite her to meet Lionel--a clear attempt to make sure Lionel and Jenny will separate for good. Unfortunately, despite Bentley's warning, George doesn't realize that the woman is a "working girl."
