The Jeffersons | A Double Breakup At The Jeffersons | The Norman Lear Effect

One of Lionel and Jenny's (Damon Evans and Berlinda Tolbert) results in a bad breakup when George (Sherman Hemsley) offers to pay someone else to work on his school papers, which also affects Louise and Helen's (Isabel Sanford and Roxie Roker) friendship. From Season 2, Episode 16 'The Breakup: Part 1' - Lionel comes home in a fury and informs his parents that his English professor is forcing him to rewrite a term paper and make it flawless - or else he will get a failing grade and therefore cannot graduate. George, wanting to see his son be the first Jefferson to graduate college, pays a freelance writer to write that term paper instead and expects Lionel to just turn that one in. While the Willises and Louise think that is a bad idea, Lionel likes it, and this results in an argument between the two families and soon a breakup.
