Sanford and Son is a classic American sitcom that ran from 1972 to 1977. The show is set in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles and follows the daily lives of Fred Sanford (Redd Foxx), a junk dealer, and his son, Lamont (Demond Wilson).

In season 2 episode 11, titled "Sanford and Son and Sister Makes Three," the Sanford household gets a little more crowded when Fred's sister-in-law, Esther (LaWanda Page), comes to visit. Fred is less than thrilled to have Esther around, as he finds her to be a loud and intrusive presence in his home.

Esther's arrival throws a wrench in Fred and Lamont's plans, as they had been expecting a visit from a potential buyer for their truck. The buyer, a wealthy man named Mr. Henry (David Moses), is interested in purchasing the truck to use in his waste management business. But with Esther constantly underfoot, Fred and Lamont struggle to prepare the truck for the sale.

Meanwhile, Esther has her own agenda for her visit. She wants to convince Fred to help her invest in a new business venture: a soul food restaurant. Fred is skeptical of the plan, but Esther insists that it is a surefire way to make money. She even goes so far as to bring in a potential investor, her friend and fellow entrepreneur, Adele (Rosanna Huffman).

As tensions rise in the Sanford household, Fred and Esther continue to butt heads over the restaurant idea. Lamont tries to stay out of the fray, but he can't help getting caught in the middle of his father's and aunt's disagreements.

Despite the chaos, the potential sale of the truck remains at the forefront of Fred and Lamont's minds. They need to get it in good shape for Mr. Henry's inspection, but with Esther constantly causing distractions, it seems like an impossible task.

As the episode progresses, Fred and Esther's bickering gives way to more serious discussions about their family history and the struggles they've faced over the years. In the end, they come to a greater understanding of each other and the bond they share as members of the Sanford family.

"Sanford and Son and Sister Makes Three" is a funny and heartwarming episode that showcases the strong performances of Redd Foxx and LaWanda Page. Fans of the show will enjoy seeing these two colorful characters engage in their trademark banter and wisecracks, while also delving deeper into their personal histories and familial relationships.
