Biography
In "The Way the Cookie Crumbles", Cleveland was disheartened to find his mother and father selling all of his childhood belongings in a garage sale, without his permission. They refused to stop selling his stuff, so he had no choice but to buy everything from them. Now, with all this extra stuff in his house, Donna made him buy a storage unit, so they could have enough space in their room. When Cleveland went to his storage unit, he found his parents, living inside of their own storage unit. When asked about this, LeVar admitted that he lost the house, after a telemarketer had scammed them out of their money. Cleveland laughed at his father, for having become a dumb old man.

After being insulted time and time again, by Cleveland, in his house, LeVar was finally fed up with it, and angrily went back to his storage home. Evelyn finally told Cleveland that it was her, who got scammed. She then explained how this the story about them being scammed by a telemarketer was completely false. The real story went, where she was at the mall and a nice young gentleman told her that he was a modeling agent and that he could give her a job as a model. Flustered, Evelyn jumped the gun and spent her entire life savings on modeling classes, speech lessons, and head shots. Her husband was just nice enough to cover for her foolishness and not rub her nose in it, the way Cleveland was.

Cleveland made amends with LeVar, and they got an idea on how to take this con artist down. He, LeVar, and The Guys dressed as women and went to the mall, so that they could trick him into taking them in, so they could catch him in the act. When they found him, he instantly caught on to their act and saw right through their disguises, saying that he's seen their ruse before. The con artist argued that what he did was completely legal and that there was nothing they could do about it. LeVar then started beating him up. While he did, Rallo announced the scene. This caught the attention of the con artist, who said this the kid's personality would lead to him being a sit-com star. He then proceeded to scam Cleveland, LeVar, and Rallo out of their money, successfully suckering them the same way he did with Evelyn. The trio walked home, naked, wearing barrels over themselves, finally admitting defeat to the con artist.
