black-ish - Season 8

Bow convinces Dre to attend a fundraising event for When We All Vote in hopes to make some new couple friends (and to do their part in increasing participation in each and every election), but Dre is convinced there will be nothing but dud husbands there to befriend. Their expectations are far exceeded when the special guest for the evening is none other than Michelle Obama. To their surprise, the former first lady accepts an invitation for dinner at their house. But on the evening of the special meal, the rest of the Johnsons want to crash the occasion. 

Dre can't seem to land a good pitch now that he's moved up to general marketing at his firm and begins to doubt himself. Meanwhile, Bow and Ruby question the new boy Diane is dating who doesn't necessarily meet her standards. 

Dre calls into a radio show and gets humiliated in front of Diane and tries to redeem himself. Meanwhile, Bow tries to bond with a group of young female doctors and learns a hard truth. 

Jack gets a job as the locker room attendant for the Los Angeles Lakers; Dre and Bow feel like they need to step in before his job goes to his head; Pops and Ruby realize their daily routine has gotten boring and heed advice from Junior and Olivia.

Dre overreacts to Devante leaving the house ashy and Bow intervenes, making the situation worse. Jack makes a bold outfit choice for picture day, and while Junior does not approve, Dre attempts to be more supportive.

When Junior's girlfriend, Olivia, gets into Yale, he asks Bow to convince her to stay and attend USC instead; Diane and Jack discover Dre's inspiration for his ads are hitting a little too close to home.

Dre spirals after finding out his white co-worker Griffin has a better sneaker collection than him. Meanwhile, Bow lets Diane take a day off from school against Pops' advice. 

Charlie announces that he is marrying Vivica A. Fox and asks Dre to be his best man; Diane's ongoing feud with the groom costs her an invite to the wedding, but she attempts to sneak in anyway.

Dre gets news that he's been nominated for an Ad World Award but may have to miss an important family function if he attends. Meanwhile, Olivia returns from Yale to visit Junior who has a full day of L.A. fun planned for their visit.

When Dre and Bow get a note that Devante may be falling behind at his private school, they expect he is being discriminated against because he is the only Black student in class. But during their visit to his classroom, they realize there may be more to it, and gravely overstep in one of his school projects. At home, Junior is still coping with heartbreak, and Jack and Diane enlist Charlie to cheer him up. 

Pops and Ruby announce they are moving out of the house to travel the United States in their RV, garnering mixed reactions from the Johnson family. When Bow realizes she is beginning perimenopause, Dre enlists her mother's help. 

Pops, Dre and Junior go on a trip to heal old wounds; Diane and Jack contemplate their futures as they look at their college wish lists.

As Pops and Ruby prepare to move away, Dre and Bow consider if they should make a big life change as well. Grappling with this idea at work, Dre receives some unexpected advice from Simone Biles, who tells him to follow his heart. The Johnsons prepare for their goodbyes in the series finale.
