Ep 18. Florence's Problem

In The Jeffersons season 2 episode 18 titled "Florence's Problem," the focus is on Florence, the Jeffersons' sassy and outspoken maid. As the episode opens, Florence is upset and worried because her boyfriend, Leroy, who had been in jail, is getting out and coming to live with her. The problem is that Florence lives in a building where pets aren't allowed, and Leroy has a dog named Killer that he loves dearly. Florence frets about what to do and decides to turn to the Jeffersons for help.

When she explains her predicament, George is less than sympathetic. He's annoyed that she's agitated him with what he considers to be an insignificant problem. However, Louise takes a different approach and decides to help Florence and Leroy by asking Harry, her husband's business partner, for a favor. Harry agrees to look into finding an apartment where Florence and Leroy can live with Killer and won't have to worry about being evicted.

Meanwhile, George is dealing with problems of his own, as he's trying to win over a new client for his dry cleaning business. The client is an eccentric artist who is very particular and difficult to please, and George's attempts to suck up to him and make him happy backfire in comical ways.

Back at the apartment, things come to a head when Leroy arrives with Killer and the building manager shows up to give Florence a warning about breaking the no pets policy. The Jeffersons band together and come up with a clever plan to sneak Killer out of the building undetected, while Florence and Leroy go off to their new apartment.

Overall, this episode of The Jeffersons is a fun and lighthearted look at the challenges faced by working-class people trying to manage their lives and relationships. From George's dry cleaning business woes to Florence's struggles with love and housing, the show offers a charming view of life in New York City in the 1970s. With its sharp writing and talented cast, The Jeffersons is a classic sitcom that continues to entertain audiences to this day.
