Ep 20. Louise's Friend

Louise's Friend is the twentieth episode of the third season of the popular 1970s television show, The Jeffersons. The episode opens with the Jeffersons preparing for the arrival of Louise's old friend, Jessica. It's been many years since Louise and Jessica have seen each other, and the anticipation is high.

As George and Louise wait for their guest to arrive, they learn that Jessica is now a successful businesswoman. George, always looking for a way to get ahead in the business world, sees an opportunity and decides to impress Jessica with his own business acumen. He even decides to wear a suit to the meeting.

However, when Jessica arrives, Louise is surprised to see that she's put on a few pounds since they were last together. Louise, always kind-hearted, tries to avoid mentioning it but George, lacking tact, makes a reference to her weight and insists that she join him on a health kick to get back into shape.

As Jessica begins to feel increasingly uncomfortable, she confides in Louise that she's going through a rough patch in her life. Her business is struggling, and she's not sure what to do to turn things around. Louise, always ready to help a friend in need, offers to lend a hand and suggests that they work together to help Jessica come up with a plan.

Meanwhile, George is busy concocting his own scheme. He decides to invite his friends over to Jessica's hotel room for a business meeting, hoping that the impression of having powerful connections will help her business.

But things don't go as planned. When George's friends arrive, they're loud and obnoxious, and Jessica is visibly uncomfortable. She tells Louise that she's afraid they'll ruin the opportunity she's been given with her investors the next day.

As Jessica prepares for her big meeting, Louise and George hatch a plan to help her out. They call in a favor from a friend who works in advertising, and he agrees to help Jessica with a new marketing campaign. With everyone working together, they manage to put together a successful presentation for her investors.

The episode ends with Jessica's business back on track, and Louise and Jessica rekindling their friendship. George, who's learned a valuable lesson about humility, decides to give his suit to his friend Harry, knowing that it's no longer necessary to impress the people he cares about.

Overall, Louise's Friend is a heartwarming episode that showcases the power of friendship and community. It's a reminder that no matter how successful we become, we all need a helping hand every now and then, and that true happiness comes from giving back to those who have been there for us when we needed them most.
