Unfortunately for Tess, Levi manages to swindle two dollars from her. Nia eyes him, asking what he’s doing. Levi explains to her, Booker and Tess that his dad taught him about supply and demand. Nia and Tess want in on the venture as well, stating they want limited edition best friend sneakers.

They’re watching an old infomercial for the Schmop. The video showed her with blonde hair in the form of a horrible wig. Booker admits that he didn’t know mops existed in the ‘olden days’. Raven tells him mops exists before seven years ago.
Nia asks how they haven’t seen the ad before. Chelsea says that she didn’t want to remember that part of her life. A dazed Levi says that he would want to forget his mother’s blonde hairstyle. Raven tells him that it’s rude to say things about Chelsea’s hair. However, she says she can get away with it because she’s Chelsea’s bestie. Chelsea cautions her by saying she’s in the informercial too. Raven tells the kids to shut it off, but Nia refuses, saying they have to see it.
Raven’s short part in the ad has her with a pixie haircut. Raven tells the kids that if they laugh, they’re grounded. The twins laugh with Levi and Chelsea joining.
Conclusion
Yet another enjoyable episode. The episode served as a powerful message to viewers, especially its young audience. As an audience, we learn there is more to the story than what appears on the surface. We see the impact Chelsea’s divorce had on not just her but, on Levi as well. The beliefs the boy had about his father and how his decisions affected his mother ands show the effects divorce has on
