Meanwhile, back at the Huxtable house, Olivia (Raven-Symone) and Marlon (Aaron Beener) are unable to get a straight answer from Cliff (Bill Cosby) as they work on school project about Cliff's childhood. Finally, Grandpa Russell (Earle Hyman) comes up with a few embarrassing anecdotes--forcing Cliff to drop the jokes and tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the conclusion of a two-part story, novice community-center youth counselor Theo (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) is frustrated in his efforts to help a bright but troubled teen named Stanley (Merlin Santana), who may be suffering from dyslexia--but refuses to be tested for fear of being stigmatized as "different." Weighed down by a plethora of similar crises, Theo begins to wonder if he is capable of handling his new job--prompting his dad Cliff and the center's head Mrs. Hudson (Lynne Thigpen) to team up for some "counseling" of their own.
