Carl is surprised when his long-lost brother, Roy Harper, unexpectedly shows up for his birthday, unaware that Roy has been presumed dead for 11 years. Vint, defying Mama's wishes, invites Uncle Roy to stay with them for a bit. Meanwhile, Sonya is gearing up for a beauty pageant, with help from Naomi, Ellen, and Mama. During this time, Uncle Roy shares a story about seeing Princess Grace at the White House, noting her beauty and how Sonya shares her smile.
