That was a flashback episode where the Jeffersons met Tom and Helen Willis. Lionel revealed he was dating Jenny and neither family was pleased.

This young gaylings knew, George, oh, and very much appreciated you. RIP.
Years later as a teenager I had to hire our family lawyer who was a white, Jewish version of George Jefferson, and he gave me very sound advice about leaving our small town and never coming back.
I realized only years later it was because he was in the closet and didn’t want me to wind up like himself.
I got to thank him twenty years later when I had to hire him for my mother’s trust.

I'm the collection of Emmys Sherman Hemsley never won during is time on the show playing George Jefferson. He was one of the best comedic actors on television. He was nominated once - in 1984 - and didn't win. He was nominated for a GG once - in 1985 - and didn't win.
