After Julius finds $200 in food stamps, Rochelle swallows her pride and goes to use them, but when a friend spots her at the grocery story, she panics and dips into the family's spending money instead.

Rochelle (Tichina Arnold) decides to host a neighborhood watch meeting after Julius' (Terry Crews) truck is stolen, but her good intentions quickly turn competitive when her new neighbor, Louise (Whoopi Goldberg), thinks she'd make a better block captain than Rochelle. Meanwhile, Chris (Tyler James Williams) sets out to break his streak of bad luck with the ladies by asking out a new girl in the neighborhood, Yvette (guest star Cherelle Noyd). In sharp contrast to his older brother, Drew (Tequan Richmond) volunteers to be a crossing guard and can't keep the girls away, causing a major traffic problem.

When Rochelle's father Gene dies unexpectedly while in town for a visit, Julius and the kids grow increasingly concerned when Rochelle acts as if nothing's wrong.

After Chris (Tyler James Williams) accidentally misleads the neighborhood into thinking he and Tasha (Paige Hurd) are dating, Rochelle (Tichina Arnold) gets quite an earful from Tasha’s grandmother, Louise (guest star Whoopi Goldberg). Meanwhile, Julius (Terry Crews) panics when he finds out the redemption center for his precious trading stamps is closing its doors, and Drew (Tequan Richmond) feels neglected by Rochelle, who doesn’t have much time for him lately.

After failing to make an impression at the town hall meeting, Chris (Tyler James Williams) realizes that he needs to deliver the best campaign speech of all time if he’s going to win the election for class president, but when his opponent, Caruso (Travis Flory), steals his speech, Chris is driven to extreme measures. Meanwhile, Rochelle (Tichina Arnold) rents out the upstairs apartment to Mr. Omar (Ernest Thomas, “What’s Happening!!”), who has a revolving door of lady friends staying with him. Debbie Allen makes a cameo appearance.
