Ep 2. Don't You Be My Neighbor

In season 5, episode 2 of Black-ish, titled "Don't You Be My Neighbor," the Johnson family find themselves in a precarious situation after Dre and Bow decide to build a house on a dilapidated property in their neighborhood.

As they begin construction on their dream home, the couple is met with opposition from their white neighbor, who fears that the value of his property will decrease as a result of their new home.

While Dre and Bow are initially taken aback by the neighbor's hostility, they soon realize that their new home may come at a cost they hadn't considered before.

As the Johnsons navigate this new challenge, they find themselves confronting issues of race and privilege, while also grappling with their own paradigms of what it means to be a good neighbor.

Throughout the episode, viewers are introduced to a range of characters who challenge the Johnsons' worldview, including a white contractor who seems to empathize with their plight, and a young black girl who uses her skills as an artist to help Dre and Bow make a powerful statement about the importance of community.

As the season progresses, the Johnson family continues to confront issues related to race and identity, all while navigating the ups and downs of everyday life. With its sharp wit and insightful commentary, "Black-ish" remains one of the most compelling comedies on television today.
