This time Randall is at the center. He has been dealing with being black for a long time, but he does love his mother and all that the family has done for him. Jack takes him to Howard University, a predominately black university (and a really good one), but it's obvious, he has already got him enrolled in an Ivy League school. The tension is thick as the comfort of the young man reins over the bragging rights of Dad. Jack, for all his Christ-like being (I'm sarcastic), has some real flaws. He runs the family as he sees fit. The secondary plot is about Deja returning to her mother, who has a rap sheet. And Randall's tendency to run everything, makes him ready to go to court to keep the girl. He is so self righteous at times, but he learns a bit this time. The girl, also, has learned from the family, and their influence will be with her forever. Fantastic episode.
