Plot[]
When Chris does poorly on an exam due to him thinking it doesn't count, Ms. Morello sends him to the school's guidance counselor, Mr. Abbott. The counselor gives Chris a series of mental evaluations and ultimately determines that he must take a remedial course. Near the end of the episode Julius gifts Chris with new Air Jordans with Chris overwhelmed and says that they cost a fortune, with Julius replying that he got a deal (Rochelle then says uh-oh). Chris is then seen heading out the house with his new shoes and then pans to a woman in the car with the local detective and suddenly says that Chris is the one because he is wearing the shoes Julius gifted him. Chris then looks down at the shoes and runs back to his house screaming “Daddy!” knowing that something bad happened for him to get those shoes, with “Everybody Hates Chris” playing in the background, ending the episode.
