Storyline
Sara's proper, uptight parents Roberta and Ernest (Fran calls them Bert and Ernie) will be visiting. Maxwell has told them nothing about Fran and himself. Upon Roberta and Ernest's arrival, Maxwell and Fran must quickly tell them about their marriage to overcome an otherwise embarrassing situation. But Fran wants to win them over before she and Maxwell tell them about Fran adopting the kids. She thinks things are going well--until she tells them about the adoption. Roberta forbids it and threatens to take Maxwell and Fran to court. Fran is worried that she will be proved unfit-mother material because of all her past indiscretions. But perhaps Roberta and Ernest's concern has less to do with Fran as a person and more with their future connection with their grandchildren. Elsewhere, Yetta thinks that Niles is her husband. —Huggo
