With this episode, Marisa Tomei makes her first appearance as Maggie Lauten, one of the few white students at predominantly black Hillman College. As the new roommate of Denise (Lisa Bonet) and Jaleesa (Dawnn Lewis), Maggie quickly drives both girls crazy with her nonstop talking. Also puttng Denise on edge is the fact that she has completely run out of money, and must come up some cash in a hurry or she'll be forced to move out of Gilbert Hall. Will daddy Cliff Huxtable (Bill Cosby, making a crossover appearance from The Cosby Show along with costar Keshia Knight Pulliam) come to the rescue? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
