A Different World

Whitley Gilbert had counted on celebrating her 21st birthday in style. She may instead do so in the doldrums: none of her so-called friends have invited her anywhere, so it looks like it'll be just her, some 'beverages,' and a photograph of Denzel Washington to commemorate the occasion. Little does Gilbert realize that her friends will indeed come through--Kim is setting up a proper fiesta as a surprise.



It's ladies-only, however, so Ron and Dwayne plot to circumvent the rules. They'll attend the event the old-fashioned way: they'll spy on it. They scale the wall and hope to catch a glimpse of the festivities. Instead, Ron takes a planer off the top of the stanchion, and is lucky he only incurs minor injuries. Walter makes time with the medic who came to help Johnson--a development not the least bit pleasing to his thought-to-be-steady interest Jaleesa.



That's *not* what friends are for, but you play the hand you've been dealt. Whitley patches things up with her boyfriend and heads into the next year of life with a smile after all.
