Storyline

After having an argument about the issue, Fran and C.C. decide to get a professional and impartial opinion about which of the two is a better match for Maxwell. They decide to ask Dr. Joyce Brothers, who agrees (she wants to sell a musical idea to Maxwell). She comes to the house to observe the two women in action. Meanwhile, Niles' continued snooping around the house uncovers some misinformation, which results in a heated argument between himself and Maxwell with Niles ultimately quitting his job. C.C. manages to find a replacement butler named Trevor, who comes from the stiff upper class school of butlering, which is at odds with Fran, the kids and Sylvia. Niles, on the other hand, is hired by Fran's rich Aunt Freida, who treats Niles much like Maxwell treats Fran. Niles loves it. After Niles finds out the information which led to him quitting at the Sheffield's was false, he still refuses to reconcile with Maxwell. However, Niles ends up wanting his old job back when Freida goes ... Written by Huggo
