In the next episode of "Black-ish," an incident at school threatens Andre Johnson Jr.'s (Marcus Scribner) future at Valley Glen preparatory.
The trailer for the upcoming installment titled "Public Fool" was just released and showed Junior grimacing in distress. "I got expelled," he tells his family woefully at home. However, his piece of sad news is met with laughter and skepticism. Pops (Laurence Fishburne) laughs while reading a newspaper while Jack (Miles Brown) points to his brother and smiles at him mockingly. It seems that they do not believe that the studious Junior got expelled from his school. Andre (Anthony Anderson) hears about his son's misfortune and gives him a hug at Valley Glen preparatory. It is hinted that Junior may have to go to public school which he dreads.
Pops defends the idea about public school. "I went to public school. Now look how I turned out," he says to Ruby (Jenifer Lewis) who does not look impressed. "What?" Andre's wife Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross) tells her father-in-law. It looks like the Johnson parents are not too keen on having Junior go to a public school but he may not have a choice. It remains to be seen if Junior's expulsion will follow through or if he will get a second chance at his school.
In the last episode, the Johnsons spent Halloween by having their traditional game night. This year they played Monopoly, which turned out to be a roller-coaster ride for Andre. He started out winning and acquiring a lot of property but ended up losing all of his money because of his arrogance. In the end, he flipped the board and messed up the game because of his frustration.
"Black-ish" season 4 episode 5 will hit the airwaves on Tuesday, Oct. 31 at 9 p.m. EDT on ABC.
