For the first Season 3 episode of "Atlanta" – part of a two-episode premiere – we briefly drop into the life of a boy named Laquarius (Christopher Farrar), a class clown whose mother and grandfather are sick of being called in to his principal's office to answer for his disruptions.
The school's well-meaning guidance counselor – a white lady – suggests that Laquarius' class might be too challenging for him. His mother knows differently; he's an idiot, she says, but he's not dumb.
