Everybody Hates Back Talk is the 19th episode of Season 4
Main Plot []
Chris takes a stand against Rochelle's strict rules and refuses to do his household chores, as he has to clean up after Drew and Tonya while they watch television. Julius goes out of the house and looks for Chris & tries to talk Chris back into moving back in the house and apologising for giving back talk to Rochelle although he is right. Chris is now back home, Rochelle asks him to clean up again, and of course he says no again. Rochelle and Julius are now in the corridor talking about this with Rochelle confused why he still said no despite Julius talking to him. Julius says that Chris has a point asking why does he have to clean up Drew and Tonya’s mess. Rochelle tries to reason by making a good excuse saying that she has a good reason on why she wants Chris to do something the kids can’t do. However she doesn’t have a good reason and Julius follows up by saying that Chris is growing up and is a strong-minded kid. Rochelle just accepts and says if Chris wants to be grown, then he can be grown. The morning after, Rochelle decided to do nothing for Chris (e.g not waking him up for school, not doing his laundry, not making his meals) saying that he is “grown”and can do his own stuff. Chris then shows up at school with ragged down clothes with Greg joining him. Greg tries to encourage him to not back down and take a stand. Chris is now making eggs and bacon for himself in the kitchen. Rochelle is obviously threatened by this as he bought his own eggs and bacon. She then says that the skillet, spatula and plate he is using ain’t his. Chris says next time he’ll remember to by a paper plate. Rochelle then mocks him and reminds him that everything in the kitchen ain’t his, which makes Chris snaps and leaves the house. This makes Rochelle have a sad look on her face as he is leaving the house. Chris is now leaving the house Drew and Tonya tries to convince him to just apologise and stay, but doesn’t give in and still leaves. Chris then offers Tonya his radio and Drew gives him money wishing him good luck. Julius comes back to the dishes are still there on the table with Rochelle saying that the dishes are stating unclean until Chris comes back to do it. Julius then goes to look out for Chris. Chris is now with Vanessa convincing him to just do the dishes so he doesn't have to go through this again and on the other hand Drew and Tonya are separating right from wrongs about Rochelle’s actions towards Chris. Julius is now sitting with Chris and Rochelle facing each other lecturing both of them with Chris apologising to Rochelle for being disrespectful and Rochelle apologising the Chris for being unreasonable & unfair to him. They both exchange in hugs & have resolved the situation. However Julius tells Drew and Tonya to watch TV and Chris to clean up the mess, just like the beginning of the episode as Chris’ punishment for leaving the house and disrespecting his mother. The “Everybody Hates Chris” jingle plays with Chris staring at Drew and Tonya in an angry manner with his eye twitching, ending the episode.
