As Marcus and Celia are leaving for school in the morning, Lisa and Chris are moving in next door. The children are excited to meet their new neighbors but their father does not seem to be as thrilled and it becomes obvious that he objects to interracial marriages.

Lisa feels that Chris is overreacting and encourages him to invite Abel to their housewarming party.
