Recap

Archie comes home from work to discover Edith has accepted an invitation to dinner at the Jeffersons. He is upset and tells Edith that he has a chance to go to see the Mets tonight. Archie also refuses to eat dinner with a black family and tells Edith to call them up and decline. She refuses and tells him to do it instead. He calls and tells the Jeffersons that Edith sprained her ankle and can't make it tonight. Lionel comes over to see if he can help her out but notices that Edith is faking a limp. This causes Lionel to question Archie, leading up to asking him if he refuses to eat with his family because they are black. Lionel suggests that they bring the food over to the Bunkers home. Now Archie is really stuck. Meanwhile, there is a petition going around to make sure no more "coloreds" are let into the neighborhood. Archie forgets he has a copy of the petition laying around by his chair. When the Jeffersons arrive someone is missing, George, who refuses to eat in any "honky" home. Instead Henry, George's brother takes his place---as George. A heated argument ensues once Henry reads the petition he finds while sitting in Archie's chair. It is then that he finds out that George is really Henry, and the real George is at the Mets baseball game...
