Inheritance is a gripping and heartwarming episode from season 4 of the popular sitcom series Black-ish. It opens with Dre's mother Ruby announcing to the family that she has something to tell them. Ruby, played by Jenifer Lewis, informs Dre and his siblings that she has sold her house, and they will each receive an inheritance. This news prompts the Johnson family to start discussing their own financial insecurities and goals.

As the family begins to prepare for their inheritances, they each have different ideas and plans on how they should use the money. Bow wants to buy some much-needed new appliances for the house, Junior dreams of buying a car, Jack wants to get the latest gaming system, and Diane intends to invest in stocks. However, Dre is initially hesitant about accepting his mother's inheritance, as he feels that accepting it would mean he's given up on his own pursuit of success.

Throughout the episode, the Johnson family engages in candid and often humorous conversations about wealth, race, and inheritance. They each have their unique struggles and aspirations towards wealth, but they also have a shared desire to build a better life for themselves and their loved ones.

As the episode progresses, Dre decides to accept the inheritance but on the condition that he uses it to invest and grow his business. This decision allows Dre to confront his own insecurities and proves to himself that he can build wealth for himself and his family despite the disadvantages of being Black in America.

Inheritance is not only an entertaining episode, but it also explores complex issues with which many viewers can relate. The struggles faced by the Johnson family are a reflection of the challenges that many families face, particularly Black families, in trying to build wealth and pass down a legacy to generations.

The episode highlights how the legacies of past generations can influence present and future generations' lives. The Johnson family's inheritance from Ruby also serves as a reminder of how the benefits of inheritance often disproportionately bestowed upon the more privileged members of society, leaving others behind.

Inheritance also touches on the different attitudes towards wealth and inheritance within Black families. The Johnson family members have varying ideas on how to spend their share of the inheritance. Some view the money as a chance to indulge in personal desires, while others see it as an opportunity to invest in a better future. The episode highlights how these different attitudes reflect the varying socioeconomic backgrounds and experiences within the family.

Overall, Inheritance is an excellent episode of Black-ish that explores issues of wealth, inheritance, and legacy. Through its humorous and heartfelt scenes, the episode offers a relatable and enlightening perspective on these complex issues. It is a must-watch episode for fans of the show and anyone interested in exploring the complexities of wealth and inheritance in today's society.
