Originally seen on Saturday instead of the series' usual Monday-night slot, this episode launches a new story arc in which Philip (James Avery) does his best to unseat elderly Judge Carl Robertson (Sherman Hemsley). Even though Philip essentially owes the Judge his career, it is becoming painfully obvious that Robertson is senile--sometimes hilariously so, other times dangerously so. Meanwhile, the plot proper focuses on Will, who becomes the willing "love slave" of a plain but very wealthy girl named Lindsey (Michole White) who showers him with expensive gifts. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Placed in charge of the community center's upcoming parent-counselor night, Theo (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) worries that he will be unable to effectively communicate with the mothers and father of the center's most troubled kids. Further vexing Theo is the fact that single mom Lisa (Saundra Quarterman) is attracted to him, despite his most strenuous efforts to maintain a professional distance between himself and his clients. Meanwhile, Rudy (Keshia Knight Pulliam) falls for Theo's favorite student Stanley (Merlin Santana)--and Rudy's lifelong friend Kenny (Deon Richmond) is not happy about this, not happy at all! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
