From the moment she came on the screen as Clair Huxtable in "The Cosby Show" in 1984, actress Phylicia Rashad won viewers' hearts, and high praise for her portrayal of the smart, loving, accomplished wife and working mom. She shares her belief in the legacy of that ground-breaking show; the surprising lengths her mother went to in order to protect her and her sister, Debbie Allen, from segregation in Houston during the 1960s, and her joy at being back on television again.

Next, deejay Doctor Dre shares his fight with diabetes and his quest to find a cure. Then, Youtube star Lindsey Stirling, the "dancing violinist," takes time out from her Orange County Fair performance, to recall the trajectory of her career from the time she was X'd from "America's Got Talent" to the present, and the release of her third album and second tour. Next, Grammy Award-winning Cuban-born Jon Secada tells how life in America inspired him towards a music career, the pain and hardship that accompanied his family's flight from the island nation, and how being an immigrant helped make him into the man he is today. He introduces his wife of 20 years, Mari, and together they share some of their best parenting practices.

Next, tennis star James Blake reflects on how breaking his neck during a practice was a blessing that allowed him to spend quality time with his dad prior to his father's death, and how early retirement gives him opportunities to be a better dad to his two children. Finally, "The Hills" star Audrina Patridge, looks back on her reality TV days, while providing a tour of her new home in Orange County, California.
