JJ moves out

"Junior Gets a Patron" opens with JJ's increased number of art supplies suggesting to his mother that he has resorted to 'finding' things again. James is pleased to learn that his son has acquired a patron who owns a small boutique where JJ can paint in his storage area. Unfortunately, the name Leroy Jackson (Edmund Cambridge) reminds his father of his former best friend, when they worked together at a gas station, intending to use $250 to start their own business (Leroy blew the entire amount on a losing horse). When his father refuses to allow JJ to have a patron who betrayed him, his son moves out to live and work over at Leroy Jackson's boutique.
