    Theodore Wilson debuts as Sweet Daddy Williams

    "Sweet Daddy Williams" marked the series debut of Theodore Wilson in his signature role of neighborhood hoodlum Sweet Daddy Williams, a total of six episodes (plus one other as a nightclub owner). JJ's newest portrait is recognized as Savannah Jones (Bebe Drake-Hooks), Sweet Daddy's current squeeze, intended to be a surprise for her when she returns from Las Vegas. James and Florida are stunned to learn that Sweet Daddy plans to showcase JJ in a one man art exhibit, an opportunity to put bad money to good use. However, when JJ starts wearing the same outre duds as his sponsor, James decides to put his foot down. Savannah herself is proud to be 'immoralized on canvas,' until she sees the finished product!
