When a black family tries to move next door to a successful doctor in an exclusive community, Jonathan and Mark must help the doctor confront a secret he's kept from everyone, including his own family.
The Homeowners Association in Mission Estates seeks to limit the admission of new neighbors to just the "right people" without violating legal standards. As real estate brokers, Gordon & Smith show the house to the Piersons within view of Brad Bowman, who predictably acts to set up a board meeting to block the sale. The back story, however, would have interested me more. Did the cast, including Michael Landon, and the script writer have any discussions about who was to read the Riot Act, about the contents of the Riot Act, about the practice changing names for cosmetic purposes, and about the practice of living a double life?
