S1E2 The Social Worker
Episode Overview

Arnold's curiosity gets him into hot water when he misinterprets a conversation, leading both him and Willis to believe that Mr. Drummond wishes to separate from them. They overhear Drummond discussing with a social worker his belief that “black children should be with black families.” This revelation sends them into a tailspin of worry, fearing they might be unwanted in their own home.
