Previously on Moesha. The police just
called. They caught Dorian speeding.

And what?

And a trade in he took from my lot.

He stole a car?

And he was carrying $5 ,000 in cash.

Tell him to get off of me, Uncle Frank.

Dorian, they're taking you away to a
camp. Hold on. Look, I'm sorry.

Look, I'm going to change.

Look, I won't do it again. I learned my
lesson.

Please.

Dad.

What are you doing this summer, Mo?

A role manager should be using an
assistant.

Love in the morning, new day is dawning,
it's me, it's me.

I realize my rebirth is real.

Girlie, girl, it's noon there.

Boy, it sure sounds like you're having
fun in New York. But I don't blame you.

mean, so much to see, so much culture,
so much history.

I'm glad you feel that way because I'm
moving here, Daddy.

So much dirt, so much noise, so much
crime.

I don't know what that cue has been
filling your head with, baby. Like, I'm

playing. I'm not moving to New York,
Daddy. All right, now you're trying to

me a heart attack.

Okay, so what time does your plane get
in?

Next week.

That's me.

Oh, Moe, Dorian gets here today, baby. I
was hoping that we could have a family

dinner together.

Daddy, I wanted to stick around and do
some sightseeing, so I'm going to call

you in a few days and let you know my
new flight information, okay?

All right. But listen, Funkin, you be
careful.

Hey, Mr. Mitch.

Morning.

Moe, hold on just a second. I got
somebody who wants to speak to you.

Mo? Ugh, Hakeem.

That was pretty low using my daddy to
try to get to me. If I wanted to talk to

you, I would have returned your last 1
,100 phone calls.

Yeah, but Mo, how could... Um, yeah.

Girl, I miss you, too.

Two? Boy, I ain't missed you one.

Just a minute. Look, I gotta go. Don't
call me no more.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I can't wait to see you either,
baby.

Yeah, bye.

Trouble in paradise, huh?

What makes you say that? I heard the
dial tone.

What's

all

of that?

Your favorite.

Scramble with eggs with a side of Q.

Roll it over there.

Is there something else?

Yeah, custom every to tip room service.

Oh, sorry. I'm kind of new at this.

Can you break a kiss?

Yeah, I got changed for that.

Miles, honey.

I thought I asked you to load up the
dishwasher.

Oh, I forgot.

I'll do it now.

Yeah, son, and I thought I asked you to
take out the trash.

My bad.

Miles, honey, you've been forgetting an
awful lot lately. Yeah, son, what do you

have to say for yourself?

It's Dorian's fault.

Excuse me?

Well, if he was here skipping school and
stealing cars, you guys wouldn't have

time to sweat the small stuff.

Well, can we at least throw in one of
those barbecues like they did for Ice

and Boys in the Hood?

No, we already planned the father -son
fishing trip.

Is there any chance of changing those
plans?

Any chance of getting you to take out
the trash?

All of it, Miles, starting upstairs.

That boy.

Frank, about Dorian.

Honey, I hope you're not expecting too
much out of boot camp.

Dee, you saw so yourself when we
visited. The boy's already started to

Yes, Frank, but there are no guarantees.

Well, at least now he knows we mean
business.

Yeah, well, let's hope that's enough.

Well, what should we do, Dee? Keep him
under the stairs until he's 50?

I was thinking more like 21.

Hey, Dee. Come on in.

Hey, guys.

Um, I was looking for Mo. I thought she
was due back today. No, honey, she

decided to spend an extra week in New
York.

Another week? Mm -hmm.

Good.

I mean, you know, good for Moe because,
you know, she deserves a vacation.

Hey, Hakeem. Hey.

Nisa. Yeah, I knew that was you.

What you doing here? Is Moe back? No,
not until next week, Hakeem. Didn't she

tell you that when you talked to her
this morning?

Wait a minute.

You spoke to her?

What did she say? Look, that's between
me and her, okay?

Hakeem, Niecy, want a kiss?

What? Who told you?

No,

I just thought you might want a piece of
candy.

Oh, no, thank you.

Yeah, your last kiss I had turned my
stomach.

Well, suit yourself.

Hold up, Frank Mitchell.

I know you've got one of those with my
name on it. Oh, baby, you know you can't

just have one.

What's that?

What?

In your purse.

Mace, so back off.

Oh, mace, back off.

Put some bread on, King.

Dear Moesha, I want to apologize for the
way Hakeem betrayed you.

I don't know what made him put his lips
on me.

But rest assured, I slapped him silly
the minute you left.

Love, Niecy. P .S.

Please remember we are both victims
here.

What?

What? Niecy, this is even beneath you.
This is so low, so juvenile. And for the

record... You did not slap me.

No, but I thought about it.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

What I should be ashamed of? You don't
want to kiss me.

I kissed you. Yes.

Hakeem, I wouldn't kiss you with my
butt.

Thank you for turning me on to Octavia
Butler. I never thought I could get into

science fiction. No problem.

She has such a way with language, right?
I know. She transcends genre.

Yeah, and you transcend my image of Q's
friends. You know their idea of

literature is reading each other's
tattoos.

So, what should I read next?

Well, I got a lot of good books back in
my room.

Yo, Kyle. Mom, what's up?

Hey. I see the Book of the Week Club is
still meeting.

And you're still welcome to join.

Yeah, I'll be there the week you start
reading Iceberg Slim.

Yo, how'd the mic check go?

I didn't even do no mic check.

I know.

Because everybody's waiting for you.

Oh, my fault. See you later, Mom. Bye.

You know homeboy has a little crushing,
right?

I'm not thinking about him. I'm thinking
about you and this week that we're

spending together.

Well, it could be longer if you take me
up on that off -hill and stay.

We've already been through this. You
know I have school.

So a week is all I have.

Well, I'm warning you.

Seven days in the Big Apple, you might
change your mind.

Oh, really?

So where are you taking me first?
Broadway?

The Schaumburg? The Statue of Liberty?
Nah, no tourist traps, shorty. I'm going

to show you the real New York.

Like the yard where we used to tag the
trains, the basement where my mom spends

her numbers, and the salon where Al
Sharpton gets his hair done.

Quentin, you are so romantic.

I know. You're full of me.

Baby, I went to the bus station to get
my son, and I found this young man.

Oh, welcome home, Dorian.

Man, what happened to you?

What happened to me?

What happened to your voice?

When I left, you sounded like Snow
White. Now you sound like a little Barry

White.

Well, I thought working in a chain can
was supposed to buff you up. You look

like you lost some weight.

Dorian, you look great. You happy to be
home?

I'm happy to be out of boot camp.

Look, son.

Now, I hope you understand that what we
did was for your own good.

But now we're all going to get together
and we're going to try to make this

family whole again, all right? Yes, sir.

And I'm going to try, too.

Well, Dorian, why don't you go put your
things up and get ready for dinner?

Yes, ma 'am.

Come on, little man.

Yes, sir.

Yes, ma 'am.

Seems like boot camp did do him some
good after all. Yeah, well, at least

start. Now all we got to do is get him
to sign this contract.

Contract? Yeah.

Lays down some of the rules of conduct
and it lets him know what we expect.

Failure to adhere to these rules will
result in expulsion.

Frank, this says that we'll put him out
of the house.

Yeah, well, let's just hope he doesn't
take us there.

Now, all I got to do is get a pencil.
I'm going to get him to sign it now.

Frank, I don't think that's a good idea.

You know, you're right.

He needs to sign it in ink.

Frank, honey, I know that you think that
this is necessary. No, no, no, wait a

minute, Dee. It's not just me, baby.
This is what's best for the boy. It's

love. Okay, then, Frank, do you really
think that now is the best time? I mean,

the boy hasn't even been here five
minutes yet. All right, Dee, I'll wait.

But he is going to sign this, because
I'm not going to go through another year

like I did last year.

Louis, I have something to tell you.

Thank you, Mr. Hill. I owe you so big.

Thank you.

Baby, I got a surprise for you. And I
got one for you, too. All right, you go

first. All right, check it. The tour's
been extended.

I'm going to Japan.

What? You go, boy. I'm proud of you. I
know y 'all gonna blow it up. No doubt,

baby. Thanks.

So what's your good news?

All right, that was one of my daddy's
friends, and he managed to get us

orchestra seats to the Lion King
tomorrow night.

And I know of a good restaurant, baby.
We're gonna have so much fun.

The best part is we're gonna be
together.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Baby, I know you wanted to take me to
one of your hip -hop spots in the Bronx,

but, baby, this is the hottest ticket in
town.

Baby, I'm sure it is.

But I'm leaving for Japan in the
morning.

Tomorrow morning?

What about us?

Q, I cannot believe you're leaving for
Japan tomorrow. I know, baby. I just

found out myself. I know, but I was
expecting us to spend some time

So just come to Tokyo. We could kick it
there. So I'm just supposed to drop out

of college and fly halfway around the
world just to kick it with you?

Yeah.

All right, it was a bad idea.

Baby, I was looking forward to us
finally being alone. I mean, no

sound checks, no nothing. Just us.

Well, it's just us right now.

So why are we beefing?

I didn't know we were beefing.

I was just expressing my feelings,
that's all.

Well, since it's our last night
together, I got a better way to express

feelings.

Hold up.

So what I have to say doesn't matter?

Of course it matters. I'm just saying
it's our last night together.

We could be doing something else.

Also, that's what it's about. All
summer.

You trying to get with me, huh?

What? Is that what you think?

So you need to check yourself and find
your motivation for being with me. What

are you trying to say? I'm saying you're
probably with me because you're on a

rebound from Hakeem.

You know how bad he and Niecy hurt me.
Now you want to throw that in my face

just because I won't sleep with you?

This conversation is over. I'm sorry,
all right?

But when you question how I feel about
you, it just makes me crazy.

You got me open. Can't you see that?

You right now, I don't know what I see.

Hold up.

You're leaving my room.

Oh, I got it.

Yo, what's up, guy? Hey, Mom.

Is D -Mon home yet?

Nah, man. He ain't coming home.

He's right there.

I'm looking at him.

Why don't you ask me that stupid
question?

Miles. Come on in, Wallace.

Hi, Ms. Mitchell.

Mr. Mitchell.

What's up, man? What's up, man?

Just trying to hold it down until you
got back the money.

I thought you was going to be here three
hours ago. I was on my way. Some fool

stole my ride.

Somebody stole your car?

Car? Talking about my mountain bike.

Oh, I see.

Well, we'll leave you two alone.

Oh, you don't have to worry about doing
the dishes. I don't.

Dorian, it's your first night home. You
don't have to.

Oh, it's no trouble. At least here I
don't have to wear a hairnet.

Yo, man, we got to talk.

Yo, man, what's on your mind?

Why don't you go upstairs and find
something to do?

What, you think just because you've been
in boot camp you can bust me around?

Yep. All right, let's just check it.

Yo, I know who took my bike. You ready
to go over there and help me handle

Nice, man. I just got home.

I'm not trying to get all caught up.
What are you talking about? It's just a

routine beatdown.

Look, man, I'm not trying to go out like
that.

I just got home from boot camp.

Dang. I'm trying to do it different this
time, man. Trying to stay up out of my

dad's way until I graduate and get up
out of here. Man, what happened to you

in that boot camp?

Let's just say I never want to go back.

I can't believe D -Money's going soft on
me.

I'm soft?

Man, you the one that got jacked.

I mean, true, I've been accused of being
controlling, a little stubborn, and

maybe a tad spoiled, but I am not
unreasonable.

Q? No.

Look, Mo, I ain't trying to get in your
business or anything, but how far were

you and Q gonna go anyway?

What do you mean?

Look, I gotta keep it real with you. I
mean, you've been on the road. You've

seen how it is.

I mean, females throwing themselves at
the artists and everything.

What do you think's gonna happen in
Japan?

Q didn't pay attention to all those
women on this tour.

That was because you was right there.

I mean, any man with a woman like you
knows better than to mess that up.

Thanks, Khalid, but you didn't seem to
think that way.

Look at you, all sad and everything.

It's a good thing we have that after
party to go to.

I don't really feel like partying.

I can't leave you like this, all
despondent and everything.

I'll be okay. I just probably need to go
to bed.

Well, maybe I should come in. We can
finish talking.

She has me to talk to now.

I was just walking into her room, dog.

Mission accomplished.

I wish we needed to talk.

How did you get in my room?

I told the housekeeper I was your
husband.

Why would you say something stupid like
that?

Because I was hoping one day it would be
true.

I wish I lost you once.

I'm not going to take the chance of
losing you again.

I want to be with you whether I'm in
Tokyo or Timbuktu. It doesn't matter to

Are you asking me to marry you?

No doubt, Shirley. You don't want me.

Hey, baby. Hey, honey.

You sure you don't want to go fishing
with me and the boys? For you?

I'm willing to break tradition.

Oh, no, Frank Mitchell. I'm not going on
a fishing trip with you. Why not?

Because you don't know what you're
doing.

You rock the boat, you scare away all
the fish, and you use the wrong bait.

I caught you, didn't I?

Oh, now that was a good one, Frank. But
I'm still not going on a fishing trip

with you.

Oh, honey.

Do you still think this contract is
necessary? I mean, Dorian seems to be

just fine. I really think it's going to
do much more harm than good.

Look, Dee, I thought about it, all
right?

It's going to be uncomfortable whenever
I ask him to sign it, but it is the

right thing to do.

All right, Frank.

I see your mind's made up.

Okay, I'm ready to do this.

What? What's wrong?

Did somebody sit on a hook?

No, no, no, son.

Everything's fine.

Look, the people from the boot camp gave
me this contract.

It's a list of terms and conditions that
we both agree to so that we can keep

making progress.

Yeah, we wouldn't want to mess with
progress, huh? No, no, no. Dorian, look,

not, then I don't trust you. I don't
have to say no more. I promise.

Yeah, happy now?

I am. Let's go fishing.

All right, Dorian. Now, you go upstairs
and get Miles, and we'll get this

fishing trip on the way. You know what,
Uncle Frank?

I don't even feel like fishing anymore.

I'm going to just stay here.

Are you sure, Dorian?

No, no, wait a minute.

Dorian, just a second ago, you were
hyped about this trip.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Come on, Dorian. Look, I said I'm sure.

I'm going to go upstairs and see if
Miles is ready.

Come on, Hakeem, let's put the stuff in
the car.

Hey, yo, nice.

What's up? It's D.

Hey, you still need help with that bike
situation?

Yeah, meet me.

Maybe I got to go. I got to go.

Airport shuttle leaves in five minutes.

All right. I'm going to miss you. I wish
you didn't have to leave.

I know, baby.

You're not going to forget about me,
right?

Not with this as a reminder.

Bling, bling.

I love you, okay? I love you.

Bye.
