Synopsis
At the brown's house, Lamar comes downstairs in the morning as he prepares himself to get ready for school by pouring a bowl of frosted flakes while his dad is watching the news. Jaron and Shequan are also seen at the table and Lamar, Jaron, and Shequan discuss about school. Jaron talks about him going to the school's prom night and Shequan talks about being a freshmen at his high school. Lamar sits down and starts discussing ideas for prom the next school year though the three get startled when someone bangs on the door, when Delmar comes in and tries to find a key to get into the shed to get his toolbox back.

Once Lamar, Jaron, and Shequan get to school, they go to their history class where they sit and learn through the revolution, though Lamar tries to stay quiet while the teacher is still speaking. Shequan asks Lamar about Collin Escade attending school and if he had seen Lizzie Escade the prior year, with Lamar replying "I don't know, I haven't seen Lizzie and I probably won't see Collin". Jaron then talks about the time he hung out with Lizzie during high school two school years before that. The history teacher then informs the class that there will be a test on the lesson, but before he is able to explain anything else, the class bell rings and the trio then discuss much of what they're going to do when they all graduate.
