Ep 17. The Matchmaker

Moesha season 5 episode 17, titled "The Matchmaker," follows the adventures of high school student Moesha Mitchell as she tries to help her best friend Hakeem find the perfect girl. Hakeem has been having trouble with relationships lately, so Moesha takes it upon herself to become his personal matchmaker.

Moesha's first attempt at setting Hakeem up with someone ends in disaster when the girl he's interested in turns out to be a gold digger only interested in his money. Undeterred, Moesha decides to take a more hands-on approach and sets up a blind date for Hakeem with a girl she thinks might be perfect for him.

Things seem to be going well on the date at first, but soon Moesha realizes that she may have made a mistake. The girl, named Yolanda, turns out to be a bit of a control freak and seems to be manipulating Hakeem's every move. Moesha starts to regret her matchmaking efforts, but Hakeem seems genuinely interested in Yolanda and doesn't seem to mind her behavior.

As Moesha continues to try and set Hakeem up with other girls, she starts to realize that maybe she has feelings for him herself. The two have been friends for years, but Moesha has never really thought of Hakeem in a romantic way before. Now, however, she's starting to see him in a whole new light.

Meanwhile, Moesha's father Frank is dealing with some issues of his own. He's been dating a woman named Karen, but he's starting to doubt whether or not she's really the right person for him. When he confides in Moesha about his concerns, she advises him to follow his heart and do what feels right for him.

As the episode comes to a close, Moesha realizes that maybe she doesn't need to try and find someone for Hakeem after all. Perhaps he'll find someone on his own, or perhaps the right person has been there all along. In the meantime, Moesha decides to focus on her own feelings and figure out whether or not she's ready to take a chance on Hakeem.

Overall, "The Matchmaker" is a fun and lighthearted episode of Moesha that delves into the world of teenage romance and the ups and downs of trying to find the perfect partner. With its relatable characters and humorous plot, this episode is sure to be a hit with fans of the show.
