Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Freddie (Cree Summer) takes it upon herself to find a permanent home for Alex Webb (T. J. Evans), a foster child she's met at the Community Center. When it becomes painfully obvious that most adoptive couples prefer babies, Alex runs away. The boy is provided temporary shelter by Ron (Darryl M. Bell) and Dwayne (Kadeem Hardison), an act of generosity that may get them in hot water with Walter (Sinbad). The episode comes to a surprising conclusion thanks to the prickly Prof. Randolph (Roger Guenveur Smith).
