"The Debutante Ball" finds JJ putting off his girl Henrietta for pretty Clarissa Robinson (Rosanne Katon), whom he met at his new job as a theater usher. Clarissa's father Gene (Santiago Gonzales) is a wealthy businessman, she drives her own Cadillac, and invites JJ to the 10th Annual South Shore Debutante Ball. Michael knows about the South Shore blacks: "they eat their fried chicken broiled!" JJ is enchanted about taking her to the ball, only to learn that her parents do not approve of a boy from the ghetto. Gene and Betty Robinson (Ann Weldon) receive a non cheery greeting from an angry James: "ain't you all heard, there's ni--ers in here!" Mr. Robinson paid his dues to escape the poverty in the ghetto, but James puts him in his place by forcing him to remember where he came from, and how JJ's art is going to be his way out.
