    Storyline

    Edit
    Fran is feeling a little under-appreciated in the Sheffield household. She learns that others always try to woo away Niles to other employment, yet no one ever tries to do that with her. But what is bringing Fran down the most is that it is nearing the first anniversary of her employment in the Sheffield household, and apparently Maxwell has not remembered nor does he seem to really care. On the actual anniversary date, Maxwell and C.C. are supposed to be at a nationally televised awards show in Washington D.C., whereas Fran initially thought Maxwell was planning a first anniversary celebratory party for her. Niles ultimately has to tell Maxwell what is bothering Fran. Maxwell decides to make a grand gesture to make it up to her. Meanwhile, Fran has volunteered to be Gracie's troop mother for the Red Robin girl's club. As a community outreach measure, Fran partners each member of the troop with a senior at Yetta's nursing home. Grace thinks she's a jinx as she is always partnered with people who have recently passed onto the great beyond. —Huggo

    • Goofs
      After C.C. faints on television, at the awards, Fran---watching television---says something to the effect that C.C.'s lack of underwear can be seen. C.C. had fainted sideways and was wearing a long red gown, so nothing could have been seen.
    • Quotes

      [C.C. mocks Fran attempt to make seniors lives happier by bringing Grace's Red Robin troop for a visit]

      Fran Fine: [to C.C] Well, how would you feel if you were alone and forgotten without any friends?

      Fran Fine: [apologetically] Oh, bad example.
