Season 8 » Episode #20 - Clair's Reunion

Summary: Clair plans a retirement dinner for her old college philosophy professor, Professor Capel, with a few of her college friends. They remember Professor Capel as a woman who was stimulating and extremely challenging, but also had extremely high expectations for all of her students. The women remember Professor Capel convincing them to take part and stick it out in a protest against a lunch counter that would not serve to blacks, but then she told the substitute teacher to fail them for missing class that day. Meanwhile, Olivia and Winnie convince Cliff that he needs to get a touch-up at their imaginary salon while they are having a sleepover. Also, Cliff doesn't like the exchange student that Vanessa brings home that can barely speak English because he is still trying to forget Dabnis.

Episode Quotes

Season 8 / Episode 20: - Clair's Reunion

Clair Hanks Huxtable: [discussing a civil rights sit-in near Hillman campus] I went back to see Professor Capel after that class. I wanted to talk about that lunch counter. I wanted to know how is it that people could hate like that? And I figured, if anybody had the answer, certainly it would be a professor of philosophy. In all the time that I knew her, it was the only time she did not have an answer. But, she did say something to me that I have cherished to this day, which is why I volunteered to organize this dinner.
Leah: What was that?
Clair Hanks Huxtable: She told me I was her favorite student.
Leah: That's lovely, Clair. [gestures to herself] Because, she told me I was her favorite student.
Baathie Ndiaie: Same thing.
Millicent: She told me I was her very favorite student, and she gave me a C.
Maxine: I got you there; she gave me an S! And, she told me that I was her most favorite student!
