Staying in touch with his roots always has been important to Dre (Anthony Anderson), so Junior (Marcus Scribner) hits a sore spot when he remarks that his father has turned into a "valley dad." Determined to remedy that situation, Dre packs up the clan for a trip back to his hometown in the holiday-themed episode "Compton Around the Christmas Tree." Bow (Tracee Ellis Ross) seizes the moment to teach Jack and Diane (Miles Brown, Marsai Martin) about the gifting spirit by volunteering for Christmas projects.
