Storyline
Fran has started dating Jules Kimball, a doctor she met at the Hadassah Hoedown. The chemistry between the two is strong and immediate. Maxwell is suspicious about how fast they hit it off. Or is Maxwell just jealous? After dating for two weeks, Jules asks Fran to marry him. Fran is excited and after thinking about it, accepts his proposal. However things quickly go sour when Fran finds out that Jules isn't all that he appears. Unfortunately for Fran, she finds out his true identity when he steals a five-carat diamond ring, leaving Fran high and dry at the jewelry store to face the authorities. Fran learns from the authorities that she is just the latest in a long string of "over thirty-something" women on which he has used the same modus operandi. Fran blames her situation on Sylvia, who she feels pushed her into getting married. To resolve Fran and Sylvia's differences, Grace suggest they go into joint therapy. The therapist does accurately diagnose Fran's issues, but neither she or Maxwell think the therapist right. Meanwhile, Brighton is desperately trying to beat his father in chess. —Huggo

Dopey Episode
This episode was written by Diane Wilk, not one of the better television writers. Within this shoddy teleplay, reference is made to 'Winchells, a California donut chain. Since the 'Nanny' takes place in NYC, it's unlikely Fran Fine would have referenced it. Winchells does not exist on the East coast. Sloppy writing for sure. Also, 'CC' mentions the Padres instead of a NY baseball team which would have been more likely. It's amazing that the script supervisors or other members of the crew did not catch these two highly unlikely references.
