: Rochelle is caught between her loyalty to her brother and Julius's mounting frustration with the freeloading. 3. The Double Dutch Challenge

: Tonya wants to learn how to "Double Dutch" (jump rope with two ropes) to fit in or prove herself.

: Despite Greg's attempts to help him fight the charges, Chris is ultimately impeached. He realizes too late that even well-meaning promises can turn classmates against you when they aren't delivered. 2. The Guest from Hell

: She asks her brother Drew to teach her, leading to a humorous subplot where Drew's natural athleticism is put to the test in a "girly" sport.

The episode concludes with a classic "Chris loses" moment: just as he's walking away from his impeachment, he sees a Kool-Aid fountain actually working in the hallway—proving he could have delivered if he had just known how. Everybody Hates Chris (Series 2, Episode 7) - ‎Apple TV
