Janets' younger sister Jenny (the lovely Devon Ericson, "Night of the Comet") is currently visiting. Since Janet & Chrissy both have to work, Jack spends part of a day showing her around. Then, later that night, a medicated Jack (he'd earlier taken some antihistamines) groggily gets up from his sleep on the couch to get a drink of water. You can see where this is going: out of force of habit, Jack gets into his own bed - which Jenny is occupying. Janet soon sees them in bed together and hits the roof.
This episode amounts to a classic 'Three's Company' misunderstanding, which leads this viewer to think about how it's so often human nature to leap to the worst possible conclusion. A fiercely over-protective Janet, well aware of Jacks' multitude of girlfriends, was determined that he *behave* himself around her "baby" sister (who tries in vain to tell Janet that she's grown-up and can make her own decisions). And Jack has his work cut out for him trying to convince Janet that he didn't really *do* anything with her sister.
Stanleys' inability to get a good nights' sleep forms a B plot that joins the main plot in a logical enough way: he comes up to complain after hearing all the door-slamming in the kids' apartment.
'My Sisters' Keeper' certainly delivers some good laughs, mostly thanks to Mr. Ritter, but isn't as falling-down funny as the best episodes. Ericsons' bright presence does help.
Six out of 10.
