Ep 13. George's Alibi

George's Alibi is the thirteenth episode of season two of The Jeffersons, an American sitcom that aired on CBS from 1975 to 1985. The show follows the lives of an African-American family, the Jeffersons, who move from Queens to the Upper East Side of Manhattan after becoming wealthy. The Jeffersons own a chain of dry cleaning stores and live in a luxurious high-rise apartment building.

In this episode, George Jefferson (played by Sherman Hemsley) is accused of hitting a man with his car. The victim, a wealthy white man, claims that George was driving recklessly and hit him while he was crossing the street. However, George denies the accusation and claims that he was at a business meeting at the time of the accident. He tells Louise (played by Isabel Sanford) that he needs an alibi to prove his innocence.

Louise decides to help George by creating a fake alibi. She asks their neighbor, Tom Willis (played by Franklin Cover), to pretend that he saw George at the business meeting. Tom is hesitant at first, but Louise convinces him that it's the right thing to do.

However, their plan starts to fall apart when the victim's lawyer contacts George and tells him that they have a witness who saw him driving the car. George becomes nervous and starts to doubt Louise's plan. He tells her that he doesn't want to go to jail for something he didn't do.

Meanwhile, Florence (played by Marla Gibbs) is dealing with her own issue. She has a date with a man who she thinks is a wealthy businessman, but he turns out to be a con artist. Florence realizes that he has stolen her purse and decides to take matters into her own hands.

As the episode progresses, the tension builds as George and Louise's plan seems to be unraveling. It's unclear whether George will be able to prove his innocence and avoid going to jail. The episode ends with a twist that leaves the audience wondering what will happen next.

Overall, George's Alibi is an entertaining episode of The Jeffersons that showcases the strong comedic talents of the cast. The show tackles serious issues, such as racial discrimination and justice, while still providing plenty of laughs.
