Episode synopsis
After Aunt Esther and Uncle Woody have a big spat, Esther takes all of his clothes and packs and places them on the front lawn, and kicks him out! When Woody drops by the Sanfords place, he has no place to stay; Lamont, who is sympathetic, says its okay for him to stay, until he and Esther work things out, but Grady, vowing to keep Fred's commands not to "take in borders", and not to allow Esther or Woody in, refuses! Lamont, who wins the argument anyway, has his way in the matter!

"I'm not a cream puff!" declares Uncle Woodrow after Grady gives him an "empowering man-to-man talk", of sorts, and, in an attempt to rid him of "Woody The Wino", sends him back home to reclaim his castle! But Aunt Esther doesn't appreciate Grady's making a man of her mouse (Woody winds up "evicting" her in turn!) and shows that hell hath no fury like the wife of a worm turned.

Esther ends up staying at Lamont's house, and Grady is not happy with the idea. To make matters worse, he also has to contend with two of Esther's sisters, Minnie and Flossie. They gang up on Grady, and things really get chaotic from there. Lamont mutters "This is the craziest house I have ever seen, I should be going to St. Louis!" Woodrow comes in, and is finally able to defend Esther, and the two make up. Grady is disgusted and complains that it is now "two against one!" The odds get worse when Lamont, Flossie and Minnie side with Esther and Woodrow against Grady. After they are thrown out by Grady, Lamont berates his father's friend for interfering in his family's affairs.
