There is cause for alarm when the Camdens disapprove of Simon's new group of friends, one of whom insults Annie and Lucy with his chauvinistic remarks. Norton, the kid that Simon befriends is a fan of violent rap whose negative attitude towards women seems to be influenced by misogynist lyrics. At the same time, Eric and Annie confront Simon about his newfound interest in rap music and somewhat misogynist attitude towards women. Heather gets back in touch with Matt, but Matt is unsure of her intentions. He then finds out that she is dating someone else again!

Simon: (about Norton harrassing Lucy) What do you want me to do about it?

Ruthie: Mom, that pimp behind you just called Lucy a bad word.
Norton: So this is your mother. I see the resemblance, and I like it.
Kid: So what do you say, Mama?
Annie: I say you're all pathetic. Go home.
Norton: Why don't you go home? You don't belong on the streets, cuz you got no respect for me, for no man. Maybe I should teach you some respect.
Annie: You want a piece of this? I brought 7 kids into this world, I can take one out! (edit)
Simon: (tackles Norton to the ground after he harasses Heather) You are going to go to my house and apologize to my mother and my sister for what you did, but not before you apologize to Heather. That's my brother's friend. She's deaf, man! How could you?
