The episode revolves around Lionel, the Jeffersons' son, who is having trouble with his grades in school. George, his father, is furious and demands that Lionel get better grades or else he will be forced to drop out of school and get a job. Louise, Lionel's mother, is more understanding and wants to help Lionel succeed in school.

Lionel initially tries to keep his grades a secret from his parents, but his father eventually finds out and becomes even more angry. He believes that Lionel is not putting in enough effort and is wasting his time in school. However, Louise believes that Lionel may have a more serious issue, such as dyslexia, and suggests that he be tested by a specialist.
