A series of home invasions caused by white domestic gangster war-vets Ed Wuncler III and Gin Rummy has Woodcrest in a panic and the neighborhood watch on high alert. Because of Uncle Ruckus' presence towards the Freemans, the Neighborhood Watch tries to convince the Freemans into joining the club but eventually fails. But when Riley witnesses the theft of Robert's precious car (by Ed and Gin), Riley has to decide whether to reveal their identities or keep his promise not to tell, as he and Robert are threatened with jail. Riley could've told Robert and Huey that it was Ed Wuncler III and Gin Rummy who stole Robert's car.
