It\u2019s been a while since we\u2019ve had such a perfect episode of Black-ish<\/em><\/a>, but \u201cBeing Bow-racial\u201d was worth the wait. Junior\u2019s [Marcus Scribner<\/a>]white girlfriend sends Bow [Tracee Ellis Ross<\/a>] on the sort of identity crisis she hasn\u2019t had since college. She narrates, giving us a much-needed break from Dre\u2019s [Anthony Anderson<\/a>] sensitive ego. Johan [Daveed Diggs<\/a>] even returns, with a growing attraction to Ruby [Jenifer Lewis<\/a>].

Bow meets Junior\u2019s white girlfriend, Megan [Annelise Grace<\/a>], who had saved him from a bunch of bullies, and Bow instantly hates her.

Johan thinks they should overlook all the race stuff and celebrate the fact that Junior has a girlfriend. After all, Junior is a tough sell. He wears a cape.<\/p>\n

Although Dre is enjoying Bow\u2019s anti-Megan feelings, Ruby is confused by them. Ruby knows it\u2019s natural to hate the women your son brings home to date, but Bow has a white father. She tells Bow that she\u2019s white, which Bow denies. Ruby tells her a black woman would be able to tell if someone was sneaking in in the middle of the night to cut off inches of her hair. Not that Ruby has been doing that to Bow. Of course not. Ruby tells Bow that if she knew who she was, she wouldn\u2019t have any issues with Junior bringing home a white girl…<\/p>\n
