The One With the Racial Profiling

Date: 4/23/2024

I’m in what’s supposed to be a class with Linda Levy. For some reason, people are bringing food to us. At some point, a sever brings us what look like fish sticks. He says something about “grouper,” and we both try them excitedly … I’m standing in my office when I see Andie and Eric McQuitty walking toward my house. I realize that they’re walking toward the side door to let themselves in because they apparently used to live here. I hear Andie talking to my dad in the laundry room but continue with some sort of project I’m working on … I’m walking around outside with a big group of people. We end up standing in front of some sort of plaza with a church in it when I see Levinson taking a picture in front of a sign. I walk over to greet him when I see a group of cops approach him. I suddenly get very defensive and say, “What’s going on?! Are you profiling him?!” I turn to see that one of the cops is Milton and am left completely confused.
