Everybody Hates a Part-Time Job is the twelfth episode of the first season of Everybody Hates Chris.
Plot[]
When Chris needs $50 to buy a leather jacket to look cool, Julius suggests he comes to work delivering papers with him. Meanwhile, after their school is closed to be re-painted, Drew and Tonya engage in a game of "dares" which ends in tears when Tonya is taken to the emergency room after being dared to drink a "hot-sauce shake." Which makes Tonya sick in a stomach flu and needing to go to the doctor. After working with Julius, Chris makes enough money for a leather jacket in 6 months, but only results in him passing out when walking with Keisha due to it being very hot on the day he wore it. The “Everybody Hates Chris” hook plays with people helping Chris up, thus ending the episode.
