Ep 2. Welcome to the Repipe

In episode 2 of season 1 of The Neighborhood, titled "Welcome to the Repipe," the Butler family is faced with a challenging and costly problem when they discover a leak in their water main pipe. Dave, their new neighbor, offers to help them out by referring them to his friend who is a plumber. Calvin, the head of the Butler household, is hesitant to accept Dave's offer because he is suspicious of him and his motives for being so helpful.

Meanwhile, Dave invites Calvin and his family over to his house for a barbecue, hoping to build a bond with him and ease his suspicions. However, things turn sour when Dave starts making insensitive comments about black people and their culture. Calvin becomes heavily offended and confronts Dave about his behavior, which ends in a heated argument between the two.

At the same time, the plumbing situation at the Butler's house gets worse and they finally have to agree to Dave's referral for the plumber.

As the episode comes to a close, Calvin reluctantly accepts Dave's offer and the two start to build a tentative friendship. The Butler family has their water troubles resolved, and Calvin begins to see Dave in a new light. The episode ends on a positive note as the neighbors all come together to enjoy the barbecue and share in the joy of their newfound friendship.
