Malcolm & Eddie - Season 1 Episode 14

On the promise of a date with twin sisters Renee and Rosie, Eddie pays $400 for tickets to a concert by K-Ci and JoJo, stars of the popular singing group Jodeci. However, when the lovely twins arrive for their date, they announce that a change in plans has them attending with the concert's two stars instead, leaving Malcolm and Eddie holding the bag. And when they are unsuccessful in getting dates on such short notice, the boys try selling the spare tickets to a pair of beautiful women, only to be arrested for scalping when they turn out to be undercover cops. While awaiting their appearance before a judge, Malcolm and Eddie find that, because of Martin Luther King Day, they are going to have to spend two nights in jail first. After taunting a pair of convicted bank robbers on their way to prison, Eddie decides that he and Malcolm should adopt the two tough guy's identities to keep their fellow inmates at bay. However, when the real Nino and Zeus are returned after their prison bus breaks down, Eddie and Malcolm are exposed as frauds. When Nino and Zeus accuse him of turning his back on his heritage, Malcolm displays a knowledge of black history that humbles the two convicts. Invoking the memory of Dr. King, he then rallies the other inmates to defend him and Eddie against an attack. And they are spared any further threats when Nicolette uses her influence with the police to gain their release. Finally, at his Martin Luther King Day banquet, Malcolm treats his guests to a surprise appearance by JoJo and K-Ci.
