A Different World

Dwayne prepares for his valedictorian speech. Ron is getting ready to pull off a much less honorable activity: marching in the graduation ceremony even though he skipped a history course and didn't complete his degree. Now he must conceal the fraud while his proud father takes him out on the town to celebrate.



Meanwhile, Whitley mulls over a job offer that will take her to New York, away from home and Dwayne. The relationship may not have much of a future if he can only see her on the weekends. Dwayne has his own job to worry about-- he faces a full schedule as a starting professor. He takes Whitley to the airport, but blurts out a question he hopes will change her mind.



A funny and poignant episode about deciding how to face your future. An eventful cap to the season.
