Fran finds a bosom buddy.

Any episode that focuses on Grandma Yetta is A+ in my book, and here, Sylvia is worried over the fact that yet has a new boyfriend. Fran makes a joke in comment about Yetta possibly being pregnant and that leads to a very funny response from grandma. Sylvia and Fran go to the bank to check on Yetta's funds where they end up being held hostage by the very nervous bank robber Peter Scolari. Of course Fran gets a bit more involved than she should be (while Sylvia can't stop talking about food), and the other hostages begin to wish that he would gag them. Finally off the subject of growing romances between various couples, this actually returns to the world of situation comedy and is a very funny one. I would say this has to be one of the very best of the fourth season, a year that saw the show in transition, and not a good one. Sylvia referring to herself as hippoglycemic has to be one of the best lines in the series history.

Maxwell - Oh Ms.Fine it's you.

Fran - No it's not. It's stupid!

The show starts off with Maxwell's impersonal Valentine's Day card to Fran that backfires. An argument ensues and Maxwell tells Fran he regrets telling her he loved her. It makes for some funny moments during the bank robbery.

This is a very funny episode. Yetta has met a new man and Sylvia is worried he's after Yetta's $200 in social security. The man who we never see wants to marry her. Fran says "Why? Ya pregnant?" To which Yetta replies "I don't think so but I'm REALLY late."

Sylvia and Fran head to the bank to make sure Yetta can't take out any money without Sylvia's signature as well.

Val drives them to the bank but stays in the car while Sylvia & Fran go in the bank.

This is where the chaos begins with an absolutely incompetent bank robber.

I won't spoil any more but I really enjoyed this episode as you can tell by my rating.
