The episode where Blue Tooth Johnson is under the Gook davenport is one of the first episodes of Vic and Sade I remember hearing. It's taken me all this time (almost two years now) to have an "ah-ha!" moment of realization...
The episode takes place on October 31, 1939 - Halloween night. Halloween is not mentioned in the script. Realizing now that it's Halloween night tells me, for one thing, why all the kids were skulking around outside. We don't know exactly why Blue Tooth is hiding from Smelly Clark but maybe the motive has something to do with Halloween or candy.
This would also explain why Vic and Sade (in particular) are freaked out about Blue Tooth hiding underneath the davenport. Halloween night has an extra creepy chill in the air.
