As the episode opens, Will is excitedly preparing for the school dance with his date, Monique. However, just as he is about to leave, Monique calls to cancel on him due to her grandmother falling ill. Will is disappointed but determined not to let it ruin his night.

He returns home to find Uncle Phil studying for an upcoming case. Uncle Phil is a judge who takes his job very seriously, and he has been presented with a difficult decision in an upcoming trial. The case involves a young woman, Lila, who is accused of drug trafficking. While the evidence against her is strong, Uncle Phil can't shake the feeling that there may be more to the story.

Despite his disappointment, Will heads back to school in the hopes of finding a new date for the dance. He approaches several girls, but none of them are interested. Meanwhile, Carlton, Will's cousin, is excitedly preparing for the dance with his own date, Amanda.

Back at home, Uncle Phil's investigation into the case leads him to visit Lila in jail. He questions her about her involvement in the drug trade, but she maintains her innocence. Uncle Phil is torn between his duty as a judge and his desire to do what is right.

As the night wears on, Will continues to seek a date for the dance. He even approaches Ashley, his younger cousin, who he had planned to take as a last resort. However, Ashley informs him that she already has a date for the dance - none other than Carlton's date, Amanda.

Will is shocked and confused, but he decides to confront Carlton about the situation. Carlton confesses that he asked Ashley to the dance without realizing that she was Will's fallback option. Will is furious and storms out of the house.

Meanwhile, Uncle Phil continues to grapple with the case. He seeks advice from his fellow judges, but they all tell him he must rule based on the evidence presented. However, Uncle Phil can't shake the feeling that there is more to the story.

As the dance gets underway, Will decides to attend with a group of friends instead of a date. However, he is still angry with Carlton and refuses to forgive him. Meanwhile, Uncle Phil finally uncovers evidence that exonerates Lila and allows him to make a just decision in the case.

In the end, Will and Carlton make up and Uncle Phil is able to make a fair ruling in the trial. She Ain't Heavy is a heartwarming episode that highlights the importance of family, friendship, and doing what is right.
