'Black-ish' Season 7 Episode 7 Preview: Dre and Bow have disappointment waiting, thanks to their children
Dre and Bow can't catch a break, can they? After the skillfully avoided disaster that was Pops and ruby's wedding ceremony, the two have a busy time ahead, once again, averting crisis and tackling disappointing developments, this time thanks to their children. Starting from Diane to Junior, and in the end even Dre's mother Ruby - it's a packed episode filled with the Jackson parents' work clearly cut out for them, and none of it can be expected to be solved over a span of 30-minutes.
According to the official synopsis of the upcoming Episode 7 of Season 7, titled 'Babes in Boyland', "Dre and Bow find out that Diane has a secret social media account; Junior and Ruby confess to their romantic partners about little lies they've told since their relationships began."
As the scary, intimidating one of the Johnson progenies, it's understandable why Diane having a social media is a matter of concern for her parents. She is incredibly smart, sassy and wise beyond her years, so it's no so much as why she's using social media, as it is what she is using social media for. A running gag within the Johnson family is Diane's cutthroat attitude towards social warmth and sickness, with the family visibly scared that she is most certainly capable of committing arson.
So with her using social media behind her back, Dre and Bow should be very, very scared about what explosive plans the 12-year-old might have. Although the bigger shocker will be if Diane's social media ends up being an account to stalk someone she finds cute in the disgustingly romantic type of way. One can only imagine the endless teasing the preteen will be targetted with, were that to happen!
And speaking of teasing, remember at Pops and Ruby's wedding when Junior almost proposed to Olivia? Luckily Dre stopped him in the knick of time and showered him with words of wisdom about how you can't rush love. But with Olivia now being a semi-Jackson already, should word get out about what Junior was planning, there's hardly going to be any kind of consideration shown from his siblings in the teasing department. Is that why he has to come clean to Olivia? The synopsis does tease lies he has told her, and it's hardly plausible that the smitten teenager would have cheated on his girl. But who knows! Maybe there's more crisis to avert from his first born's end for Dre!
'Black-ish' Season 7 airs on Wednesdays at 9.30 pm only on ABC.
