Raven's Home (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Oh Father, Where Art Thou? - full transcript

To help him attend the Daddy-Daughter dance at school, Raven switches keys with her neighbor, Jimmy. However, Levi figures out it might be possible for a stranded Devon to also go to the event.

So, Dad,

then we went to
another store,

and Mom and I finally
found the perfect dress

for the Father-Daughter dance
tomorrow night.

I can't wait to see you in it.

I wish I could've bought
it for you myself.

Oh, you did!

I charged it
to your credit card.

Ha! Still remember
the number.

Oh! Is that Dad?

I wanna tell him I'm working
the photo stand at the dance!



Hey, Uncle Devon,

as an amateur
storm chaser,

I've been tracking
a big snowstorm

that's heading our way.

Levi!

You trying to take
my job as a weatherman?

No, I just wanted to
tell you to bring a coat.

Somebody's a little
insecure!

Levi, I wanna show him

my favorite NBA player's
gonna be there...

Hey, Devon!
Hey! Check it out.

Guess who made an edible
vegetable centerpiece

for the dance, huh?

I'm gonna go
with anybody but Raven.



Hey, I heard that,
but I'ma let you slide

because your credit card bought me
these brand new boots!

Mom! I also
wanna show him

the NBA player
is Antoine Decker,

AKA Antoine Dunker!

- Okay!
- Finally!

Yo, Dad, check it out!

And, the phone's dead.

Oh, Booker,
cheer up.

Look what your dad bought
you on his credit card.

- Some new sneakers!
- Oh!

Really, Mom?

He bought me a pair
of sneakers, too?

Oh, that man!
He shouldn't have!

He really, really
shouldn't have.

Episode Title :
"Oh Father Where Art Thou"

Okay, dance committee!

The doors are opening,
so you can finish your stations.

Thanks for helping
with the sundae bar, Steve.

You can go change.

Oh, you're
wearing that? Ow, uh!...

Classy!

So?
What do you think?

Think my dad'll
like it?

Wow!
You make poofy look good!

- Did I over-poof?
- No, you're perfectly poof.

It's a fool-poof dress.

Thanks.

Are you okay about your
dad not making it tonight?

Yeah. I'm used to it.

I'm a proud daughter
of a trucker.

Well, you know he'd
be here if he could.

Yeah. It's all good.

Oh, thanks!

Hi, Booker.

Oh!

Hey! Sheridan Decker!

Or should I say,

Sheridan Dunker?

My dad's the dunker.
I'm just a Decker.

- What was that for?
- Just happy to help!

Daddy! Bye, Booker.

Ah, you look gorgeous!

There's the Dunker.

And I'm gonna get
a picture with him

even if it kills me.

And it just might.

Look at us, Levi.

Chilling while
everybody's at the dance.

Well, we didn't
really have a choice.

You're not a father,

and I'm not a daughter.

Although, if I were,

I'd go with the name Debbie.

You put a lot of thought
into that, didn't you?

Well, Debs,
what you doing?

Debbie. Not Debs.

Anyway, I've been tracking
this winter storm,

and it's a doozy.

18 inches of snow,

with wind gusts up
to 40 miles per hour.

Which is why
I am staying at home,

and we are watching
my favorite show,

"Lady Truckers,"
starring Big Shirl.

I love me some
Big Shirl.

Every time
she signs off,

she always goes...

Catch you on the flip flop!

Hey, D!
You at the dance?

Rae, we got a problem.

The Chicago airport is closed
'cause of the snow storm,

and they had to
divert my flight.

- What?
- Yeah.

I'm stranded at this tiny
airport about an hour away,

and all the rental cars
are gone.

Devon, how did you
not see this coming?

You're a weather man.

How did you not see it coming?
You're a psychic.

How come I didn't
see it coming?

Oh, wait! I did.

I feel terrible
letting Nia down.

No, no, no! No one is
letting anybody down, Devon.

You stay right there.
I'm gonna get in the car right now

and come get you.

Come on, Levi.

Get your coat on, alright?
We gotta go get Devon.

Are you sure, Auntie Rae?

It's coming down pretty hard.

Oh, don't worry about that,
Levi.

Little snow can't stop me.

But a lot of snow can!

Okay, okay!

Thank you all for coming to
our annual Father-Daughter dance.

There are snacks
and drinks,

and the photo stand
is now open.

Oh, oh!

And don't forget to partake in our
edible vegetable centerpiece.

It's delicious,

and it's good
for the constitution,

if you know what
I mean.

It helps you poop?

- Okay, then.
- Party on!

Your photo will be ready
in a few minutes.

Booker, why do you think
Dad's not here yet?

He's probably just stuck in
traffic at the airport.

Yeah. Yeah, you're probably
right. Thanks, Booker.

Yeah, you... Y-you know
I always got your back.

Alright, what's behind my back?

The Dunker!

Hey! Sorry, man,
no photos tonight.

It's my daughter's dance,
and it's all about her.

No photos?

Why does tonight have to be
all about Sheridan?

Hello?

Father-Daughter dance,
it's kind of in the name.

Well, you know what? The Dunker's
about to meet the dancer.

Watch me work.

Dad? I'm gonna go get us something
to drink. Be right back.

Okay, baby.

Cool song, huh?

Yeah, sure...

Oop!

Oh!

Thanks!
Y-you found my phone!

Nice try, son.

But, no photos of me.

Alright, fine,
no photos of you.

But... how 'bout
a photo of us?

Yo, yo!

This next song goes out to all
the daughters in the house!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!
That's right, that's right!

We're on the wheels of steel,
dropping fresh beats!

And speaking of beets, um,

they're in my
vegetable centerpiece,

which, uh, no one
seems to be eating?

Come on, party people.
Let's veggie on.

Wassup, Ravy Rave?

Don't do that.

Listen, Chels,
I am freaking out.

Devon just called me.

He's stuck at the airport,
my car's snowed in,

and I don't think he's gonna be
able to make it to the dance.

Oh, no!
Nia's gonna be crushed.

I know, so let's just hope that
he finds a way to get there.

But don't tell Nia yet, okay?

I'm so sorry,
it's so loud in here.

Let me see if
I got this straight.

So, you don't
want me to tell Nia

that her dad's not gonna
make it to the dance.

Okay, I got it.

I... I can't believe
my dad's not coming.

I...

Booker,
turn off the camera!

I-I don't want anyone
to see me like this.

Got it.

It's stuck!

My bad.

Nia, I'm really sorry
Dad's not coming.

Look, I know
how you feel, but...

it's like with my dad.

You know he'd be here
if he could.

I guess you're right,
but it just...

Hey!

I've got an idea
how to take your mind off Dad.

Why don't you help me
with the photo stand?

- I don't think so.
- Come on, Nia, it'll be fun.

Okay, what do you do?

Well, you just talk to 'em,

make 'em feel at ease,

and then snap the picture.

'Kay, sounds easy.

Hello.

Special night, huh?

Fathers.

Daughters!
Dancing, you know.

Eating sundaes,
making memories.

Well, you better enjoy this
while you can,

'cause before
you know it,

your dad's gonna get a job
as a weatherman,

move to Dallas, promise to
show up at your next dance,

get snowed in,
and never show up.

Say, "Cheese!"

Okay, well...

that was fun!

Uh, why don't you
see if Tess

needs any help
at the DJ booth.

Yeah! I could totally...

Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yes!

Nia, your father
has arrived.

May I have this da...
No, that's too much.

Nia...

I'm your daddy.

No?
I'm trying to pass as a dad,

just in case Devon can't make it.
Is the rose too much?

The rose is the only thing
that works.

I'll get it.

- Hi, Mr. O'Malley!
- Hey, Levi!

- Rae!
- Jimmy! How you doing?

I'm so glad to see you.
Tess said

you weren't gonna
make it to the dance.

I cut my truck route short,
so I could surprise her.

Is there something different
about you, Rae?

- No.
- Change your hair?

No.

She thinks she can pass
as a dad.

Well, I'm trying!

At least I bought this
easy-off glue.

Ow! Whoopi...

Goldberg, that hurt!

Yah!

So, where's Devon?

Oh, he got snowed in
at the airport.

Ah, that's too bad.
I was hoping he'd be there.

Anyway, Rae,
I just came by

to see if you could
keep an eye on my rig.

I got it parked right
out your window.

Hey! So, how does your rig
handle in the pow-pow?

You know that's trucker talk
for snow?

- It is?
- Mm-hmm.

Well, we just call it snow.

But the truck handles
like a 12-ton dream.

Woo, Jimmy was right!

She handles
like a 12-ton dream.

Nothing like the open road,
huh, Levi?

Wow, I'm really impressed
with how you're handling

this rig in these conditions,
Auntie Rae.

Thank you.

You can just
call me Big Shirl.

Well, Big Shirl better put her
big foot on the gas

if we wanna
pick up Devon in time.

Copy that! Pedal to the metal!

Catch you on the flip flop!

Nothing can stop us now.

You takin' any requests?

Hey, do I come to your job
and tell you what to...

- Dad!
- Hey, sweetie!

- Surprise!
- Man, I thought you weren't coming.

How could I ever
disappoint that face?

I just wanna squeeze
those cheeks.

Okay, time's up.

Hey! It's your own fault
for having that face.

Whoa, Nia!

- Look at you!
- Hi, Mr. O'Malley.

Now, I have two princesses
to dance with.

If your highnesses
will excuse me,

I gotta go fill up on some
dancing fuel first.

Hey! And stay away
from the dairy!

You know how you get!

What? I gotta ride home
with him.

Tess, that's really sweet of your
dad offering to dance with me,

but this is your
night together.

You know, this dress
was bought to be danced in,

be a shame
to let it go to waste.

Wanna switch?

Eh, you think I could
pull off the poof?

Hey, if your dad can
pull off a toupee,

you can pull off the poof.

Shhh!
He thinks nobody knows.

Auntie Rae, what are we
gonna do now?

Calm down, sweetheart, calm down.
You know what?

This, this is a perfect
learning lesson, alright?

This is what happens
when the cops pull you over.

You stay calm, alright?

You put your hands on the dash.
Leave them there.

Alright.

You tell the truth, cause we
have nothing to hide. Yeah?

License and
registration.

Yes, yes. Um, ma'am.

See? Calm, and collected.
There you go.

Huh.

It says here, this rig is
registered to a James O'Malley.

So, who are you?

Huh? I'm Jimmy's
trucker friend.

Uh, he... he let me
borrow his rig,

and he, and he also let me
borrow this mustache.

See? 'Cause we're friends of Jimmy's,
and that's what truckers do.

Truckers truck together.

I don't know why
I can't stop.

Okay, you two do not look like any
truckers I've ever seen. What...

Ella Fitzgerald!

- Ella Fitzgerald?
- Yeah.

It says here, you're Raven Baxter.
So, which is it?

Um, actually,
my name's Raven Baxter,

but around these parts,
they call me, uh...

They call me Big Rae.

And this here...
This here is...

- This here's Little Deb.
- It's Debbie!

Okay, so Big Rae,
and Little Debbie, huh?

Yeah! That's right!
That's right.

Breaker breaker 10-17,
on the seven-tile!

We got hit in the double zone
in the hydro-pipe...

Dro-planing.

We're here with... the cop from
the seven. We... trucker!

Okay, you know?
I've heard enough.

You got nothing
on me, copper!

- I'm making a run for it.
- No! No, Debbie!

- No Debbie!
- Come on, get...

Debbie! Get...

Get back!

Look, you two!

I don't know
what you're up to,

but it's freezing out here!

My nose hairs
are frozen,

and they're starting to whistle,
"Chattanooga Choo Choo!"

Oh, I like that song.

So, I'm gonna let you off with a warning.
- Okay.

Your license checks out,

but I don't
wanna see you again.

Okay. Alright. Uh, copy that.
Catch you on the flip flop.

Don't do that again!

I'm sorry! Okay!
Copy that, copy that!

Hands on the dash!

Wow...

Look at my girl.

All poofed up.

Guess that makes me
Poof Daddy.

Dad?
More dancey, less talky.

I take that back.

More talky, less dancey.

Thanks, Booker, I love cherries.
How'd you know?

Eh, I know things.

Like, maybe,
you wanna dance with me?

Sure!

I, uh, I also knew
you were gonna do that!

Ha ha, look at us!

Dancing at a
Father Daughter dance.

Hope no one thinks
I'm your father.

Hey, speaking of
your father...

Whoa, this DJ is terrible.

Ha, awful, right?

I'll be right back.

Nia! What're you doing?

Uh, what do you mean?
I'm up here crushing it.

Crushing what?
These people's spirits?

Hey, look,
I'm sorry, Booker.

I've been trying my best
to pretend

I'm not upset that Dad's not
coming, but...

I can't. I'm really
disappointed.

Well, you don't have to be
disappointed anymore.

I just had a vision.
I saw you and Dad dancing!

Which means he makes it!

Wait, really?
Are you sure?

Yeah, you were even
wearing your dress...

that you're not wearing.

Why aren't you wearing
your dress?

I let Tess wear it.

Well, if you want my vision
to come true,

you better get it back.

Oh, Tess! You look so cute
dancing in that dress.

Thanks! I think
I'm really pulling it off.

Yeah.
Speaking of which...

Wow, Booker,
you can really dance.

- So can you!
- Really? I hope so.

Cause I don't
have much practice.

I don't get asked
to dance a lot.

What? Why not?

Probably because I'm so much
taller than boys my age.

You are?
I didn't even notice.

You're so funny.

- Hey, Booker.
- Yeah.

Quick question.

In your vision, when did you
see Dad come in here?

Cause it's getting
pretty late.

Don't worry,
he's gonna be here.

Trust in the vision.

Now, move out of the way.

- For what?
- For this.

Ow!

You know, usually guys are only
nice to me to get to my dad.

What?
Who does that?

I get it though. People get
excited meeting an all-star

who averages
29 points a game.

Uh, it's 30,
with 12 assists

and 92 percent
from the stripe.

But,
who's counting, right?

So...

how long has your dad
been your dad?

Have you only been nice to me
to get to my father?

No!
I, I mean, yeah,

I-I wanted
a picture, but...

I knew it!

You're just like
everyone else!

You didn't wanna hang out
with Sheridan Decker.

You wanted to hang out
with Antoine Decker.

Well, maybe
he'll dance with you.

You think he would?

Breaker 1-9, breaker 1-9.
Little Debbie here.

Just picked up Big Daddy, and
are heading back to Chi-Town.

Anybody go their ears on?

You know
that's not on, right?

Well, it's better than
listening to you say,

"Are we there yet?"

Well, are we there yet, Rae?

Okay, calm down,
Devon, alright?

We are going to make it
to the dance on time.

This rig plows
through snow.

But not ice!

Okay, everybody,
calm down!

It is under control!

- Alright?
- I got this!

Dance, here we come!

Oh, snap!

Oh, wow!

Well, I don't know
if I'm seeing spots,

- but I can't tell who's who.
- Here you go.

Meow!

Hey, thanks for covering
my stand, Aunt Chelsea.

Oh, no problem.

Did you have fun
dancing with Sheridan?

I kinda blew it.

She's pretty mad at me.

She didn't even punch me
in the arm.

She's been punching you
in the arm?

You know what that means?
She likes you.

- She... likes me?
- Yeah.

Oh, no. That makes
this even worse.

I just wanted a picture with
Antoine Decker so bad,

I didn't even realize
she was crushing on me.

What do I do?

Now, look, Booker.

If there's one thing girls
appreciate, it's honesty.

So just explain yourself
and apologize.

- You're right.
- Yeah.

I-I owe it to her.

- Thanks, Aunt Chelsea.
- Oh, honey, don't thank me. Just...

eat some of my centerpiece, huh?
Make me look good.

Honestly?

- It's not gonna happen.
- Oh come on, honey.

- Please?... Oh, come on.
- No, no, no.

Well, looks like this party's
gotten bigger

since the last time
I saw you.

Don't tell me. Big Rae,
Little Debbie, and...

O-M-G.

Devon Carter?

Dallas Action News
weatherman?

I used to live in Dallas.

I'm a really big fan.

Turn on the charm,
turn on the charm.

So... come here often?

Not you.

Tess... Tess, please hold off
on playing the final song.

I know my dad's gonna be here.
What about Booker's vision?

Nia! I can't hold off
any longer.

After this song, I'm gonna
have to play it.

Ah. Uh, hey, Sheridan.

Booker, my dad and I
would like a picture, please.

Uh, y-y-yeah. Sure.

Hey...

Sheridan, can I talk to you
for a minute?

What do you want?

I-I just wanna
apologize for the way

I was treating you
tonight.

I-I never should've
tried to use you

to get a pic
with your dad.

It was selfish,

it was mean, and...

you deserve better.

Yeah. You're right, I do.

I...

I just wish I'd gotten
to know you for you because...

you seem pretty cool.

Thanks.

'Kay.

Alright. Uh, your photo
will be ready soon.

Wait, Dad. One more pic?

Booker? You wanna
get in this one?

Me? With you guys?

Sure!

Wait, who's gonna
take the picture?

Aunt Chelsea! Hurry!

Okay, dads! Pick up a
rose for your daughter.

It is time for the final
father daughter dance.

Sorry.

Well, that's it.

The dance is over,
and Dad's not here.

I don't understand.

I had a vision of you
and Dad dancing.

I guess I got it wrong.

Just wish you weren't
wrong tonight.

Well, I've had better nights.

Mom?

Mom, what's going on?

Your night's
not over yet, baby.

May I have this dance?

Oh, Dad!

Well,

I guess my vision
wasn't wrong after all.

So, Dad,

check out what I got
at the dance.

- Is that Antoine Dunker?
- And me!

- Where?
- Yeah, I don't see you.

No, I-I'm right there.

Yeah. I'm the hair.
