Junior runs for class president, and though he is overqualified for the job, he can't seem to connect with his fellow classmates. Dre becomes his campaign manager and tries to make Junior appeal to the masses. Meanwhile, Pops, Johan, and Jack discuss why they're not voting in the upcoming election, and Bow is worried that Zoey's college essay is not going to get her into college.

When Dre discovers Zoey is questioning her belief in God, he undergoes a crisis of faith and leans on family members and coworkers for their input. Meanwhile, Bow's brother Johan comes to stay with The Johnsons after living abroad and becomes an instant thorn in Dre's side.

After a situation arises at work, Dre's views on how black people are perceived now versus when he grew up are confronted. Meanwhile, Bow wants to spend more time with the kids before the new baby arrives, and gets advice from Pops on how to make them want to be around her.
