Will gets a visit from an old pal named Ice Tray (Don Cheadle), who, to Vivian's and Philip's dismay, warms up to Hilary. This goes down well with the newspaper editors and Philip's parents, but Philip seems ashamed until he makes his acceptance speech where he shows renewed pride in his roots. Will, overhearing, tells her embarrassing stories about Philip's past "barnyard life" he heard from Philip's parents. A reporter (Kathy Griffin) comes to the Banks' house to interview Philip about his life, but plans to kill the story because she finds him boring. Philip's parents come to visit for the weekend when he wins a prestigious award who inadvertently reveal his embarrassing country roots. Will spends the night alternating between his images before realizing being oneself is more important than impressing others. While he impresses the girl's father as "Kipp Smithers", Will finds out that Mimi prefers bad boys "from the hood".
