So, Calvin, what
are we drinking to?

To success.

Marty and I are having
our grand opening

in a couple of weeks.

It's all coming together.

Ah, well, to Butler and Butler.

Oh, uh, we actually
have to change the name.

There is a Butler and Butler
Funeral Home.

Now, I made them an offer,

but they said
over their dead bodies.

A pun, huh?

You really are
in a good mood.

In that case, these guys sound
like a real bunch of stiffs.

Am I right?

No.

Oh, Mama.

I have only had
three dates with Janelle,

and she says you invited her
here for dinner tomorrow.

Uh-huh.

And you didn't ask me?

Well, I didn't know
if you were free.

I mean, you're more
than welcome to come.

Well, th-this is
a little awkward, Ma.

It's a new relationship,
and she is my English professor.

Well, you're the one who said
that she may be the one.

Don't you want
your mother's opinion?
No.

Pop, did you know
about this?

Of course.

I keep up with my woman.

Ah.

There's my partner.
Come on in.

I was just telling Dave
how great everything's going.

Yeah, I'm not so sure.

There are protesters in
the street in Boyle Heights.

They're marching
against gentrification

in the neighborhood. Good.

I hope they march those suckers
right on out of there.

No offense, Dave.

Uh, none taken,
but, Calvin,

you should really
read this flyer.

Th-They're talking
about your business.

They say that you're
the gentrifiers.

What?

I can't be a gentrifier.

I'm not even white.
No offense, Dave.

♪ Welcome to the block,
welcome to the neighborhood ♪

♪ Welcome to the hood. ♪

Dave, isn't Grover's family tree
project looking great?

Oh, amazing.

Hey, wasn't Great-Grandma
Johnson a handsome woman?

My teacher says
I need her personal details.

What was her job?

Oh, well, it was World War I,

and she ran a house, and...

There were other women there.

And, um...

Okay, you see, when, um,
when soldiers, uh...

who were lonely and had money

would come home
from the war...

Just say nurse, Dave.

She was a nurse.

Um, the only missing piece
is your dad.

Oh. Well, you know,
my dad left

when I was younger
than you are now, Grover.

Hmm.

What if I just put a picture
of some other old guy?

Here. This guy'll do.

Grover, that's Colonel Sanders.

Cool. Grandpa was in the Army.

Pop, why don't you tell Janelle
about you and Marty's new shop?

They're gonna be fixing
electric cars.

Yes, that's right.

It's called the Fuse Box.

Ooh, I like that name,
but, wait,

do electric cars
even have fuses?

Do-do electric cars have fuses?

Do they?

They don't, but, you know,

it's-it's just a fun,
retro name.

Yes, retro.

Listen,
you know what?

A funny thing happened. Um...

The people saw us building
a nice new shop,

and they thought
that we were there

to gentrify their neighborhood.

Yeah, I-I don't know

if it's that funny, Dad.

You know, I was on Twitter
and people are worked up.

They are?

Yeah. There's even
a hashtag.

#RefuseTheFuse.

Then I'll-- you know,

I'll just come up
with my own hashtag

and drown them out.

#Calvin'sDope.

#ButlerLove. You know?

Oh, hey, buddy.
Is that the finished product?

Let me see it.
Yeah, I got everybody.

And it turns out
Great-Grandma Johnson wasn't

a nurse after all.

I asked Grammy,

and she said
she was a lady of the night.

Okay, uh, well,
do you know what that means?

Well, obviously
she solved crimes after dark.

Uh, well, you know, Grover,
that's not exactly what it was.

No, don't argue
with Grammy.

Is that a picture
of my dad?

Whoa, that's recent.

Where did you get that?

Facebook.

It's this old website.

He lives in Oxnard.

He loves Huey Lewis
and the News,

just like you do, Dave.

Yeah. I mean,
that's not saying much.

Everybody loves
Huey Lewis and the News.

I'll meet you
in the car, sweetie.

Dave, did you know
your dad was so close by?

I had no idea.

I mean, he sent me
a friend request on Facebook,

but that was years ago.

Oh, my God.
You never told me that.

I didn't accept it.

I mean,
just 'cause he lives in Oxnard

and is apparently
a fellow member of

the Hugh Crew doesn't
change the fact

that he abandoned me
when I was 11.

Now I have "Hip to Be Square"
stuck in my head.

And for the first time,
I am not loving it.

Oh, hey.

Oh, hello, fellas.

What is that you say?

"What grade did you get
on your English paper, Malcolm?"

An "A."

Ooh. Wow.

You got an "A"
from your girlfriend.

That's surprising.

Oh, please, man. I got
an "A" because I earned it.

And your boy might just
make the dean's list.

Oh, is Janelle the dean, too?

No.

Hey, look,
there's no shame in it.

You're still excelling
because of your skills.

Just maybe
not your academic skills.

Hey, look, Malcolm.

I did the same thing
to get a job at Arby's.

What? That...

You know what? I have always
gotten good grades.

I'm not gonna let you two
get in my head.

And wasn't the manager
of that Arby's your cousin?

I mean, by marriage.

A lot of people showed up
for this.

You were right,
we should have bought

a third tray of tacos.

No way.

You know who buys
three trays of tacos?

Jeff Bezos.

We don't want them thinking
we're one of those out-of-touch

rich corporations
with unlimited taco money.

Ah.

These are fantastic.

Oh, well, all right.

I'm glad you enjoy them.

You ever been to El Rey's?

Best Mexican food
in South Pasadena.

Oh, I'll have to check it out sometime.

Luis Cabrera. Uh...

Very nice setup you got here.

Well, I mean, it's not
too nice, you know, but, uh,

Calvin Butler. Oh.

Man of the people.

Well, I can't wait to hear
what you guys got planned.

Awesome. Okay.

Um, so can, um,
everybody please have a seat?

Sit down!

Thank you.

Okay, baby. Go ahead.

Yeah, all right, uh,
hello, everybody.

I am Calvin Butler,

co-owner of
Fuse Box EV Solutions.

This is my partner,
my son Marty Butler.

And as you can see,

we are no gentrifiers.

Okay? So I hope

that clears everything up.

Please enjoy the tacos.

Uh, Luis, my new friend.

Do you, uh,
do you have a question?

Uh, yes. Yes, uh,
thanks, Calvin.

Uh, my-my question is
very simple, um...

Who the hell
do you think you are?

Excuse me?

What? You think that just
because you're not

some white guy,
we're gonna be cool

with you busting
into our neighborhood

and pushing out our businesses?

Look, I-I'm not busting
or pushing anything.

We're building and improving.

Oh, is that what this is?
Improvement?

You know, I-I think
I liked it better

when we could all get together

as a neighborhood
and enjoy our coffee shops

and our-our tailor
and our bookstore.

But, no, it's all gone now.

But yet here you are
with your fancy ED Solutions.

Uh, it-it-it's EV Solutions.

Uh, it's very different.

I miss the coffee shop.

They have the best conchas.

Okay, look, look.

I don't know nothing
about no couches.

All right?

That coffee shop was not here
when we leased the place.

It was already closed.

You're right.
You're right, it was.

They raised the rent
because outsiders like you

with fat wallets came in,
am I right?

Yeah.

Guys, guys, look.

We want to be a friend
to the neighborhood, all right?

I brought tacos.

Only two trays.

Yeah, and the worst part,

they're from Pasadena.

You can't bring Pasadena tacos
to Boyle Heights.

One, two, three, four!

We don't want your EV store!

One, two, three, four!

We don't want your EV store!

Oh, no, no, no.
Well, you know what?

Y'all got chants?
Well, I got chants.

Hell no.

No tacos.

Hell no. No tacos.

I'm the boss,
so grab that salsa.

One, two, three, four...

I mean, where do
those people get off

saying my shop's gonna
ruin their neighborhood?

And they've got some nerve
yelling at my man,

and those corny-ass chants.

Mine was better than theirs,
and it was off the dome.

Dave?
What's going on, man?

You hitting that yo-yo
pretty hard.

You know most men learn
to yo-yo from their dads?

Uh, no.

I didn't get that.

I had to teach myself.

How to yo-yo?

Yeah, see? You get it.

You were there
for Malcolm and Marty

during their yo-yo years.

They didn't have to go
to the library and get a book.

Okay.

Hey, I'm starting to think
this is not about a yo-yo.

Oh, yeah, great,
here comes the lecture.

"This isn't about a yo-yo, Dave.

This is about your dad
coming back into your life."

Okay. What?

Look, come on, man, sit down.

What's-what's going on?

Grover found my dad.

Apparently,
he lives in Oxnard, and...

I haven't seen him
since I was 11.

Hmm.

So, are you gonna see him?

Why should I?

He up and left when I was
a kid. I mean, you're a dad.

Would you ever do
that to your kids?

No, sir.

Well, guess who did.

My father Lamar Johnson.

Grover? Lamar?

You Johnsons are killing me
with these Black-ass names.

Look, as far as I'm concerned,
any man that leaves you as a kid

doesn't deserve anything
from you.

Yeah, thank you.

But maybe you deserve
something from him.

Dave, I miss my dad every day,

and I would give anything
for the opportunity

just to speak with him
for a few more minutes.

I mean, think about it, maybe...

you need some clarity.

Maybe you want
to hear his story.

No, no, I don't want
to hear his story.

I need him to hear my story.

I'm just so angry, Calvin.

Dave, if that's the way
you feel, then tell him.

But just make sure
you don't miss the chance

while you still have it.

Maybe you're right.

Thanks, Calvin.

Wow.

Never seen someone yo-yo sad.

Gemma, you got a min...

One of the smoke detectors

has a low battery beep.

I'm trying to figure out
which one.

Got it.

I just had a quick question...

No, no, no, no!

Ooh, you talked over it.

Now we have about 30 seconds.
What's up?

Okay, uh, before
you were a principal,

you were a teacher, right?

Would your personal feelings
towards a student

ever affect how you graded them?

All the time.

Really?

I'm not gonna give a good grade

to the kid who said
I had manly hands.

Oh.

Okay, Gemma, but, uh...

Damn, I never noticed your hands before.

They are...

lovely.

I still don't notice 'em.

Was that in the kitchen?

I thought it was upstairs.

Damn it.

So,

this is about
you being in Janelle's class?

Yes, I am doing really well
in the class,

but now I'm worried
it's because...

I'm doing really well
outside the class.

Okay.

Because you're so good
at pleasing her?

Oh, men.

It is not that funny.

You know what I should do?

I should do a terrible job
on the paper on purpose,

see if she gives me an
"A" anyway, there it is.

Can you believe
that Luis guy?

Bad-mouthing Pasadena tacos?

Ain't nothing wrong
with these tacos.

Well, you know,
I-I was thinking, though,

what they're concerned about,

they're not crazy.

Are you taking their side
and eating all the carnitas?

No, D-Daddy, no, that...

Uh...

You know what, baby?
Maybe he's right.

You know,
those people are afraid

their neighborhood is
losing its identity.

And you of all people
should understand that.

I mean, you remember
how upset you were

when Friendly's Market
was replaced

by Mucho Mochi?
Mm-hmm.

I wasn't upset.

You damn near lost your mind.

And now it's your favorite.

It's not my favorite.

I mean,

I like the green tea,
but it's not my favorite.

Dad, to be fair,

most of the people
in that neighborhood

can't afford electric cars.

They don't see
how our business helps them.

Okay, but you saw
what commercial property

is going for these days.
All right?

That was the only space
we could afford.

Now, if those people
don't like it,

then I don't know
what to tell 'em.

Maybe don't tell them anything.

Just go down there,
be your charming self,

and show them
that you understand.

Yeah, Dad.

You get them together

and you prove to them
that you're an ally.

That...
Marty, Marty, Marty,
Marty. You know what?

I know what I'm-a do.

I'm just gonna go down there,
be my charming self,

and prove to them
that I'm an ally.

Hold on.

Hello.
Hey, handsome.

Mmm.

Hey, can I ask you a question?

Of course.

What the hell is this?

That is my essay.

Oh, well, let me read you
my favorite passage.

Okay.
"This story was short,

"making it a short story

"as opposed to
a long story,

which is a novel."

That is technically true.

Well, yes, it is.

And so, technically,
you got a "D."

That is fantastic.

Why is that fantastic?

Well,
because you passed my test.

You see,
I was all worried

that I was only getting A's
because...

you and I are a thing.

So, you wrote this
garbage on purpose?

Yes, I did.

Pretty brilliant, right?

Let me get this straight.

You thought
I would give you an "A"

that you didn't earn?

But now I know
that you wouldn't,

so...

You want some of
this cheese plate?

It's...
Mm-mm.

So, in that mind of yours,

you thought
you were breaking me off so good

that I would just
throw away my principles?

Well, now that you have
said it out loud

like that, I-I kind of
feel like an ass.

Hmm.

And an egomaniac. Mm.

And a-- and an idiot?

Keep going.

More? That's...

I didn't give you
the credit you deserve,

and I'm sorry.

And right after dinner,
I'm gonna rewrite that essay.

Well, you can rewrite it.
I'm not gonna regrade it.

You got a "D."

Damn, you are beautiful,

you're smart,
and you have integrity.

I like that. Mm.

You're still getting a "D."
Damn.

Well, Dr. Finch,
that makes two of us.

All right.
Hey, everybody.

Thank you so much for
coming back. Hey...

Really, Luis?

That's what we doing?

Well, you didn't seem
to get the hint last time,

so I thought you could use
a little, um, visual aid.

Could-could, uh...
could-could I get one of those?

Now, what did I do?

One, two, three, four!

We don't want your EV store!

Five, six, seven, eight!

Fuse Box is the place we hate!

Oh, oh, so y'all adding verses?

You know what?
People, come on.

Can we just take
this down a notch?

Listen, I owe you
all an apology.

The character of my neighborhood
matters to me.

Now, I realize that

the character of your
neighborhood matters to you.

And the other night,
after some contemplation

all on my own, without
any help from anyone...

...I realized that
I need to be your ally.

Look, I have a plan, all right?

Is there someone here
named Julian?

I'm Julian.

Julian, look,
I understand that

you used to have a coffee shop
on this block.

Well, I've been thinking

I could use a coffee stand
right in that corner.

You know, people
could have a latte

while they wait for
their cars to be repaired,

and I'm gonna need
somebody to run it.

This dude is literally giving
my job to somebody else.

Uh, no, I was talking about you.

Oh, cool.
I-I could do that.

Julian is not the sharpest
cheese on the cracker, is he?

Okay. And-and I'm not done here, people.

I want to hire local.

I understand that

Antonia's Tacos was
a local institution

before you lost your lease.

Well, I got
a permanent spot for you

in the parking lot
out front

for your taco truck.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ay! You are an angel,
Mr. Calvin.

And to-to all of you.

If you used to work around here,

please let me know
what your skills are.

Maybe we can find
a place for you at the shop.

So, now he thinks
he can just buy us.

Oh, God. This guy.

Well, I can be bought.

Me, too.

Listen, Luis.

We're trying to
meet you halfway, man.

Are you with us?

Fine. Fine.

We'll call off the protest,
but we'll be watching you.

You know what?
We'll be watching you.

Well, you know where I'll be,
so I'll be watching you.

You watch me
and I'll watch you.

We'll just be watching.

Okay.
Yeah, we'll just see

who watches the most.
Uh-huh.

Gonna be watching me, like I... Yeah.

Still watching you.

You keep watching.

Like, like, he the only one
who can watch people.

Still watching!

Where did that beep come from?

I don't know.

Is that your dad's
friend request?

Yeah.

Looks like
he posted some pictures

from the Huey Lewis concert.

Yeah, it's from the Plan B tour.

That album was--
and I don't say this lightly--

just okay.

Okay. Look.

Whatever you decide,
I support you.

You know that.

But he did reach out.

That's something.

Friend request accepted.

I got it!
