We resume our deep dive into the episode prior to YOU KNOW WHO officially debuting! Is Laura's attempt to get Mama Winslow's quilt back emotionally manipulative? Are you soothed by Rachel's awful saxophone performance? Could Eddie have been a great professional photographer? Let's dig in!

Laura is specifically instructed by Mama Winslow not to sell the Winslow ancestry quilt at a garage sale, but does so anyway in the name of get-rich-quick-kid profit! This leads to definitely the most emotional episode so far with a nice touch of what Andrew calls "colonizer energy" from the adult white woman Laura sells the quilt to.

Carl arresting his family's favorite television star leads to an interesting discussion on toxic red flags that are bedroom turn-ons, celebrity privilege, the relationship between people of color and the police, and having a photo on standby in case you go missing or just die!

Harriette gives us a balance of unhealthy and healthy ways to express jealousy in a marriage when Carl's new police partner is revealed to be a young, conventionally attractive woman named Vanessa. This leads to some unusually risque jokes for a so-called family sitcom and TAG TEAM gaslighting from Rachel and Mama Winslow. Jon & Andrew might give Mama a pass though because she is EATING this episode with funny lines and facial expressions after another & some jujitsu action!

Jon & Andrew are delighted to speak with actress/writer/teacher/psychic medium Susan Merson, who you know from her guest appearance as Sylvia the contractor in Season 1 Episode 8!

Susan does not disappoint with her "Family Matters" anecdotes: We learn Reginald's feelings upon knowing Steve Urkel would be the center of the show and not him, racial dynamics between the Winslow family and Sylvia that we haven't previously discovered, Susan's difficulties finding work as an actress with an "ethnic look", she has great things to say about her guest star appearances on "Grey's Anatomy", "Scandal", "The Watcher", and not so great things to say about working with Dustin Hoffman on "Tootsie". We've just scratched the surface! Join our conversation!

Jon & Andrew have the pleasure of speaking with the actor who played the basketball star Carl forces Eddie to idolize in Season 1 Episode 6! Jacques shares GREAT behind the scenes anecdotes about Reginald Veljohnson's Mercedes, a deleted Judy Winslow scene, a proposed Will & Auntie Rachel romance, a studio audience response to Eddie's basketball decision that we DIDN'T see in the final cut, and more!
