"984 W. 124th Street, Apt. 5C" is the second Christmas episode of the CBS sitcom The Jeffersons, produced and aired as the fifteenth episode of the show's fourth season.
Synopsis[]
It's Christmas and Lionel and Jenny's first wedding anniversary. However, George is sneaking around sending gifts to a mysterious address in Harlem. This leads Louise to follow him and she is shocked at what she discovers.
Arriving at the address just before George, Louise catches him dropping off a gift outside an apartment door. Arguing once he realizes she's there, they're interrupted by a young boy from inside the apartment. Louise briefly suspects, but just as quickly, dismisses the thought that he might be George's love-child. Meeting his parents, George reveals that they had once lived in the same apartment when George was very young (presumably, before he met Louise, or else she would have recognized the place), and times were hard. They reveal their own fortunes have taken an upturn, with a mysterious gift-giver leaving enough to help them train to get better jobs and soon move out of the dilapidated area. Taking their leave, Louise asks George why he leaves these gifts, to which he responds he once took a vow that, if he had the means, he would make sure that there were no more hard Christmases in that apartment. As she often did when he exposed his softer, more generous side, Louise kisses and hugs him as they rejoin their family for the Christmas season.
