Ep 3. Smoky Flow

Raven's Home is an American comedy television series that premiered on Disney Channel in 2017. It's a spin-off and sequel of the popular show That's So Raven, focused on the character of Raven Baxter, played by Raven-Symoné, who returns as a divorced mother of two preteen kids, Nia and Booker, living with her childhood best friend Chelsea, played by Anneliese van der Pol. The show follows their hilarious and unpredictable adventures as they navigate through life's challenges and their own psychic visions.

Season 3, episode 3 of Raven's Home, entitled "Smoky Flow," follows the gang as they attempt to create the perfect Hip-Hop video for Booker and Levi's upcoming DMC Atlanta contest. In the beginning, they struggle to even pick a theme for their video, with everyone's ideas ranging from cheesy to cringe-worthy. Raven and Chelsea's attempts at being "cool moms" don't help either, as they come up with embarrassing dance moves and ridiculous costumes. Meanwhile, Booker and Levi wish that they could create something more authentic and true to their own style.

To get some inspiration, the gang decides to head to a local club, where they witness the magic of a real Hip-Hop performer, named Smoky Flow. Despite Raven's initial skepticism and fear, she is amazed by Smoky Flow's talent and charisma. She decides that Smoky Flow is the missing piece to their video and convinces him to help them out by performing in their video and teaching them some legit Hip-Hop moves.

As they start filming the video, however, they quickly realize that Smoky Flow's price is not just what they expected it to be. He wants them to be authentic and true to themselves, not just copying the same old moves and lyrics that every other contestant is doing. He challenges them to find their own unique flow, to reflect their own personalities and experiences.

This leads to some tension between Booker and Levi, as they have different ideas of what their "flow" should be. Booker wants to speak out about social issues and use his voice to make a difference, while Levi just wants to have fun and enjoy the performance. Raven and Chelsea also join in on the debate, as they recall their own struggles with finding their own identities.

In the end, they all find a way to compromise and integrate their ideas, using their different strengths to create a powerful and fun performance. With Smoky Flow's guidance, they find their own authentic flow and deliver a video that stands out from the rest. Along the way, they also learn some valuable lessons about resilience, respect, and creativity.

Overall, "Smoky Flow" is a playful and heartwarming episode of Raven's Home, showcasing its talented cast and energetic style. It's a perfect fit for fans of the show and anyone who loves a good Hip-Hop performance.
