It's amazing how one minute everything could be going great.

Then someone will say two words that ruin your whole day, your whole week,

your whole life.

There you go. Hey, Mel.

Oh, yeah. By the way, do you guys know somebody named Devon Stamps?

It's me.

It's me.

Check under the bed. Check down the hatches.

Well, that's what they did in Titanic.

And they all died, Jim.

Leave those hatches up.

Now, what are you doing in my closet?

Would you believe I lost my contact?

I believe you lost your mind. Move it, Chet. Hey, girl, don't be so rough. You

know I'm in therapy. Mm -hmm.

You're gonna be in physical therapy if you don't get out of here.

I can't eat.

You're not hungry?

Okay, now that's scary. Start talking.

Niecy, no.

We made a pact to never discuss... it.

What is it?

Trust us. Leave it alone.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up.

Are y 'all in some kind of trouble? Because you know we'll handle things for

you. You know I got eight brothers and sisters. What's up?

Niecy, if we want to get together for a softball game, we'll give you a call.

Look, I want some answers, and I want them now.

All right, Niecy.

Here it is.

It was third grade.

We were planning an April Fool's Day prank on our substitute teacher, Miss

LeCal.

See, I was just a lookout, though.

Lookout? You were the mastermind, Miss Selective Memory.

Anyway, Cam and Hakeem were almost done when Devon Stamps walked in. Now, see,

Devon, he wasn't your average third grader. He was taller, stronger, and

had razor bumps.

And he had a nasty reputation.

Rumor had it a pit bull bit him. He just laughed and bit him back.

As we took our seats, right, Devon gave us this real funny look.

He knew something was up.

He didn't say a word.

So when Miss LeCount opened up her desk drawer, the rubber wrap popped out.

And the nearside of that wrap knocked her right off her feet. It was so funny.

Yeah, but we stopped laughing when we realized how badly Miss LeCount was

injured. I mean, we didn't want to hurt her.

He just wanted to scare her a little.

But things got out of control.

And the principal came in, Niecy boy, was he pissed. He wanted answers, but

nobody was talking.

Then he looked directly at Devon, who was still snickering, and assumed that

didn't.

We knew Devon was innocent, oh yeah.

But it was either him or us.

And since he had prize, well... So, as he was being escorted out, he just

at us.

The darkest,

coldest stare and said, I'm gonna get y 'all.

Oh, girl, and that was the last time we ever saw Devon Stamps.

Is that it?

Please! Air Bud 2 was scarier than that.

Lisa, you weren't there. I mean, you didn't see the anger in his eyes. Or the

sinister smirk on his face. Or the tracking device on his ankle.

hear how you tell it. It's still lame.

Lame? What Lou did that day led that boy on the road to prison. Lame? He stole a

car. Lame. But the cops he killed were still in it, girl.

Guys, look.

The bottom line is, it's been nine years.

Yes? He's served a few prison stints where he probably had a few unwanted

relationships.

But I'm sure Devon isn't thinking about you guys.

Let alone considering payback.

Meesee, you know what? You're probably right.

We worry for nothing.

Yeah, yeah.

You hear that? See? See my stomach growling. I feel better.

Well, my burden's been lifted. It's a new day.

He didn't forget our hockey tickets for the game tonight.

Now, who's the man?

Paul Correa.

Oh, honey, these are great seats.

Center ice.

Cool. We might be close enough to catch somebody's teeth.

Okay. Morning, y 'all. Hey, Pumpkin. Hey, Mom. You going to see the Mighty

tonight? Well, I'm mighty happy for you.

Well, let's say we make this a family outing. I got one ticket for you, baby.

Daddy Scout, Ma. You know I'm cutting back on blood sports. All right, but you

don't know what you're missing.

Oh, honey, you got some mail.

The morning party is four.

And you want Moe's tickets to the hockey game?

Four brothers ain't there today.

Oh, yes, they are, Hockey.

I always see the Gumbel brothers there. Byron Allen, Alfonso Ribeiro, Ben

Vereen.

Tempting, tempting, but okay.

Ah, Moe, you may have won ten million dollars. Man, I hate junk mail.

What's wrong with you, Hakeem?

I just found a dead rat in my bedroom.

Oh, did you name it like the others?

You can joke if you want to, but don't you guys remember when we were in the

third grade and we put that rat in the teacher's desk?

It wasn't real, Hakeem. It was rubber.

Wait a minute.

Don't tell me you think this rat situation is related to that Devon guy.

Oh, come on, Niecy. Don't you see?

He's sending us a message.

Yeah, get some help.

I know what you did in third grade.

Let me see that.

See? See? See? I told you. I told you.

Boy, please. Anybody could have sent that. Yeah, come on, y 'all. Let's not

this into something it's not, all right? Okay. And for the record, let me say

this. You two watch way too many slasher movies.

Girl, what's wrong with you? You act like you just saw Elvis.

In this neighborhood.

I know what you did in third grade.

See? See? Now what, green -eyed wonder?

Look, my name is Sharon. I wasn't there. Yeah, my name is Sonny, and you in

this, honey.

Come on, you guys, all right? This psycho is crazy.

So from here on out, we have to stick together. We can't travel alone.

Yeah, yeah, you know, Moe's right.

Let's say the same thing we used to say in third grade, remember?

He's awesome.

Who is it?

Hakeem walked us home, but he was so scared we had to walk him back.

Then we heard you screaming, so we came over here.

I'm tired of walking. I need to rest.

Y 'all, Devon was here.

Rested up down there.

Kim.

Are you sure it was him?

Yes. He was tall, dark, and homicidal. What was he going to do with that? Sweep

him to death?

If you think this is so funny, why don't you go back outside and see if he's

still out there then?

Like I'm scared. Well, go then.

Don't you just feel safe when he's around?

Boy, open the door.

Oh,

I think it's for you.

Oh, my God. Moesha, I'll be back divine.

Oh.

Come on, guys.

This neighborhood's full of Moeshas.

stick together, all for one and one for all. They're all for one, my butt. I'm

out.

I'm responding to an alarm.

Come on in and make yourself at home.

Okay.

So, what's the problem, Moesha?

Well, there was this guy, right?

And he was creeping.

How'd you know my name?

We're security.

We know everything.

Right, Kim?

Hakeem?

But who are you?

I thought you knew everything.

Niecy Jackson.

So, what happened?

There was this kid. He had a knife, a big one.

You gotta sell it, girl.

I'll take a look around.

What?

Uh, nice shoes.

Uh, Kenneth Cole?

No, Dr. Scholl.

Oh, I'm partial to his power.

I don't think she wants to be here. Did you see the way homegirl was dragging

her feet?

Oh, come on, Kim. I think she has a wooden leg.

why would they send a one -legged woman to protect us?

Well, probably because your daddy figured two -legged security would cost

as much.

Perimeter secure.

Well, that was pretty fast when somebody would have... Gun?

Uh, yeah.

I'll secure sectors three and four.

Oh, she is too weird for me.

Weird or not, at least nobody's gonna bother us while she's around.

Hey, Marisa!

My favorite sweet mother of Jesus is him!

Please, God, let him kill me. I'm too young to die now. Hey,

get him! Yes, sir.

Devon Stamps, how'd you get in here?

Facto.

Hi. Hi, Devon. How you doing? I'm Niecy. I wasn't in third grade with you guys,

so you have absolutely no beef with me.

It's only because I danced on Soul Train. Did they let you watch that in

house? She didn't mean the big house. She meant your house.

I got something I need to do.

Oh, no. Here it comes, y 'all. Oh, come on, man. That was a long time ago, man.

I know.

That's why I got to do this.

I,

Devon Wayne Stamps,

Hereby make amends to Kimberly, Hakeem, and Moesha for all my hideous thoughts

and disturbing plans I made on your behalf.

I also apologize for the evil incantations recited from these figures

that I scorched in effigy.

Those look like beanie babies.

More like... barbecue baby.

This boy's a freak.

No I was just bitter. Okay.

Very bitter.

My life changed horribly after you set me up.

But I'm over it now.

My life has found a new path.

Oh you found God?

No Amway.

As a matter of fact, I'm having a few friends over tonight, and if we sell

enough soap, I make double diamonds.

You have no idea how happy we are to hear that.

Yeah, man, we thought you came over here to kill us.

Nah, not me, but Miss LeCount might be a tad less forgiving.

And who's Miss LeCount again?

Our substitute teacher.

You know, before your little prank, Miss LeCount had a promising career as a

ballerina. She was a dancer?

Y 'all did that to one of my peeps?

Come on, Niecy. It was a simple compound fracture.

I mean, any decent orthopedic surgeon worth his weight and malpractice

could have passed her right on up.

Yeah, but the tax she landed on was rusty. What?

And her leg got infected.

They had to amputate. Oh.

But over the years, she seemed to have adjusted well.

She learned to walk with a wooden leg.

and made a career in home security.

Home security?

Wooden leg?

Be a mother!

See, I never gave you anything.

Oh, thank you, Miles, so much. You made my day.

You act like that, I'm going to take my mask back.

Pumpkin, are you all right?

Oh, my goodness, I'm fine. How was the match?

Oh, it was great.

I caught a puck. Yeah, she jacked an 11 -year -old for it.

I did not.

Miles gave it to me.

All right, I'm going upstairs to read.

Y 'all seen the remote?

Are you sure everything's all right?

Honey, what were you dreaming about?

If I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

Well, okay, baby.

All right.

Come on, Frank.

Let's go upstairs.

Maybe I'll let you score. I heard that.

I decided that big -headed little brothers are the curse by which past

sends a pay.

Miles was the culprit behind the sophomore note.

I haven't decided how I repay him, but when I do, it will be swift and just.

It turns out Devon Stamps has totally rehabilitated his life and is now a

volunteer counselor for troubled teens.

As for Ms. LeCount, I feel really bad about what happened.

I wonder how she's doing.

Stop it. Where are you?

Mouse?

Oh, Felicia's having a party. Good. Let me find out what I'm going to wear.
