Fran, fed up with his behavior, tells Jack that he should act like a normal kid. She also makes him realize that he has no real friends. Because show business is the cause of his life problems, Jack decides to quit show business altogether, which includes quitting Maxwell and C.C.'s show. Furious, Maxwell tells Fran that she has to convince him that show business is his life, and that he should do Maxwell's show. When Jack breaks down with some true emotion about his want to lead a normal kid's life, Maxwell decides to let him out of ... Written by Huggo
