Lena (Jada Pinkett) is visited by her old neighborhood pals from Baltimore, who take an immediate dislike to Lena's fellow students at Hillman--and vice versa. Also showing up is her old boyfriend Piccolo (played by the late rap artist Tupac Shakur), who had hoped to renew their romance and isn't pleased to discover how much Lena has changed since exiting the 'hood. Originally scheduled for a network telecast on June 17, 1993, this is one of two Different World episodes never shown on NBC, though both were included in the syndication package.
