    Storyline

    Edit
    Fran gets audited by the IRS. She has reason to be worried as she has falsified information on past returns. But she does whatever act of persuasion she can on the auditor, Josh Bassin. It doesn't work as she is issued a $5,000 tax bill. Maxwell convinces Fran to appeal the assessment. With Maxwell by her side, Fran thinks she's in luck when the appeals officer is a wannabe Broadway actor cum impressionist. Ultimately it's another show business connection that gets Fran out of her mess. Meanwhile, Maxwell tries to rekindle a "friendship" with Brighton just like they had when Brighton was a little kid. But Brighton, being a teenager, now has little in common with his father. And Jay Leno asks the Sheffields to look after Harley, his chihuahua, temporarily. Harley and Chester, C.C.'s dog, hit it off a little too well. —Huggo

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Both Fran Drescher and Jay Leno plug their own books--holding them towards the camera--which they had recently published at the time. A joke is made of celebrities who shamelessly hawk their books. This is again copying The Bridges of L.A. County (1995), who plugged her own book first in the end tag for that title, by holding it to the camera and telling the audience to buy it.
    • Goofs
      Chester and Jay Leno's dog mate and she becomes pregnant but in previous episodes CC has several times stated that Chester is "fixed".
    • Quotes

      IRS Appeals Officer: George Burns.

      Fran Fine: Oh, great!

      IRS Appeals Officer: You know, I got into Heaven, and um, I saw God and He wasn't feeling well. He sneezed; well I didn't know what to say.
