Conspiring with Jaleesa (Dawnn Lewis) and Maggie (Marisa Tomei), Denise (Lisa Bonet) decides to participate in the tradtional Hillman homecoming prank of stealing the head from the costume of the rival mascot (a bear). But she has second thoughts upon finding out that her grandfather Russell (Earle Hyman), a distinguished Hillman alumnus, is planning to pay her a visit. The situation takes a bizarre turn when Russell expresses great interest in the celebrated prank--and insists upon absconding with the bear head himself. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
