The following is a list of episodes for the BET sitcom, Reed Between the Lines. The show debuted on October 11, 2011. The series follows a modern-day blended family as they navigate life’s ups and downs with wit and humor. It stars Tracee Ellis Ross and Malcolm-Jamal Warner as Dr. Carla and Alex Reed.

The series was renewed for a second season on April 12, 2011. It was later announced in August 2012 that Tracee Ellis Ross would not return for the second season and three new cast members (Charlie Robinson, Michole White, and Tony Rock) would be joining the cast. On September 12, 2013, it was revealed that Reed Between the Lines has been canceled and that Young Man on Campus would not be green-lit to series. In December 2013, it was revealed by Malcolm-Jamal Warner that an entire second season had been shot, but won't be airing.
Keenan and Kaci fuss about who was born first and Kaci's new love interest, Dillon. Later in the episode, a slightly obnoxious Dillon joins the family for dinner. When Dillon's mother Dominique comes to pick him up, Carla discovers that she already knows her. Dominique is a sex addict that she recently treated at her office. Dominique asks Alex if he'll be chaperoning a school trip that she'll be attending the next day. Carla decides she will attend the trip instead. Alex, who is a stay- at- home English professor, shows up to the museum anyway, but is rushed out by his wife when she senses Dominique's advances.
Carla and Alex are excited that the kids are out for the night. Alexis, the seven-year-old "baby", is headed to her first sleep over and Keenan and Kaci are off to a party. After a candle lit dinner, the couple is ready for dessert, but the evening is cut short when Alexis is brought home early. It turns out that she threw a tantrum and was mean to the other children. The neighbor insinuates that Alexis might have a behavioral problem. Carla initially disagrees of course but later reconsiders the notion. After a confession from Alex who admits to spoiling his daughter, and Alexis, who admitted to acting out because she couldn't get her way, the family decides to stop catering to her. It takes some time but in the end Alexis grows to be more independent. She even prepares her own bowl of cereal.
