Vanessa (Tempestt Bledsoe) and her study partner Robert (Dondre T. Whitfield) are far more interested in each other than in their schoolwork--and as a result, both get D's on an important exam. Worried that this will prevent her from attending a school dance, Vanessa decides not to tell her parents about her bad grade, but the truth comes out during a knock-down, drag-out fight between Vanessa and her older sister Denise (Lisa Bonet) over a sweater. Elsewhere, Cliff (Bill Cosby) groggily explains to Clair (Phylicia Rashad) why he can't stay awake at the movies.
