- Mike accepts a job, which pleases Archie because it means that Mike and Gloria will be moving. Finding a new home proves difficult. George Jefferson schemes to rent his old house next door to them cheap, just to annoy Archie.
- All of Mike's hard work pays off as he accepts a position as an associate professor, which is good news to Archie because it means that he and Gloria are finally getting out from under his roof. The problem is that finding a new home is tougher than any of them thought - even though Archie helpfully suggests that they move to Jersey, which is three hours away. George Jefferson gets wind of their problem and hatches a scheme to rent Mike and Gloria their old house right next door to Archie at a bargain basement price, just to have the satisfaction of the arrangement getting under Archie's skin. Mike and Gloria don't tell her parents about the agreement because Mike doesn't want to be living next door even when George keeps dropping the price of the rent. That night, the family gathers for a party celebrating Archie and Edith paying off the mortgage and burning the notice. Archie gets wind of the information that Mike is turning down a great deal but doesn't know that it is next door. He practically forces them to take house, but is none-too-happy with the news of the location.—Jerry Roberts <armchair-cinema@hotmail.com>
- After making their final mortgage payment, the Bunkers hold a mortgage burning party while the Stivics desperately try to find a place of their own. Out of spite, due to Archie's accusations of not really wanting to move out, Mike accepts George Jefferson's offer to rent his old house right next door.
- Mike finally gets a steady job as an associate professor, allowing him and Gloria something they have been looking forward to for a long, long time: The chance to get the heck out of Archie's house. Now, if only they can find suitable housing ... and accept some assistance from George Jefferson.—Brian Rathjen <briguy_52732@yahoo.com>
