Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
After filling in for the regular campus disc jockey, Dwayne (Kadeem Hardison) angles to get the job on a permanent basis. Meanwhile, Maggie (Marisa Tomei) and Whitley (Jasmine Guy) prepare a classroom debate on the topic of whether women can successfully juggle a family and a career. When Maggie drops out of the debate while mulling over a marriage proposal from boyfriend Mike (Dean Howell), Denise is forced to take her place--virtually in mid-sentence. Featured in this episode are several members of the talented Wayans clan: Kim, Damon and Keenen Ivory.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for A Different World. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
War of the Words is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 19 out of 143, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 30m runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
