In the next episode of "Black-ish" season 4, Andre Johnson (Anthony Anderson) has a terrible nightmare about his future and thus decides to take care of his health.

The trailer and promotional photos for the upcoming installment titled "Sugar Daddy" were just released and they show Andre waking up from his sleep and going down to the dining room to have breakfast with his family.

Everyone is there, including his wife Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross), children Junior (Marcus Scribner) and Zoey (Yara Shahidi) as well as the twin siblings Jack (Miles Brown) and Diane (Marsai Martin). However, they can't hear him because he is dead, apparently.

All of a sudden, famous basketball player and actor Rick Fox enters the room with a bouquet of roses and surprises the family. The kids shout altogether "Dad" as Fox hands the flowers to his supposed wife, Rainbow. Andre is shocked and cannot believe his eyes.

Rainbow then greets Fox and kisses him on the lips. She gets a thrill when the handsome celebrity carries her in his arms. At the same time, the kids crowd around them adoringly. At this point, Andre screams in terror as he suddenly wakes up from his nightmare.

Apparently, he has been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and now fears about dying and leaving his family behind. He will be determined to take care of his health and make sure that no other manly figure will swoop in to snatch his family.

In the last episode, Andre's company assigned him to be the "charity guy." Instead of giving his used clothes to the shelter, he decided to hand over all of it to a random homeless person. He felt good after performing the generous deed.

"Black-ish" season 4 episode 9 will hit the airwaves on Tuesday, Dec. 12 at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.
