Chrissy Snow: [on phone, to boyfriend] Tonight? Oh, no, I can't, my roommate's sister's coming tonight, I think we should be here.
Janet Wood: Oh, Chrissy, Chrissy, you don't have to give up a date because of that.
Chrissy Snow: I don't?
[to boyfriend:]
Chrissy Snow: Hey, maybe I can make it after all!
Janet Wood: Oh, but that's so sweet of you, though...
Chrissy Snow: [to boyfriend] No, I still can't make it.
Janet Wood: No, Chrissy, no, no. She's gonna be here for a whole week. There's plenty of time to be together.
Chrissy Snow: [to boyfriend] On the other hand, what time could you pick me up?
Janet Wood: Even though it would be so nice to have everybody here for the first night.
Chrissy Snow: [to boyfriend] Not that I *want* you to pick me up, I just wanted to know if you would if you could.
Janet Wood: Look, Chrissy, if - if you really wanna go...
Chrissy Snow: Look, I'll do whatever you want.
[to boyfriend:]
Chrissy Snow: No, no, no, not you, Tom. Tom?
[takes receiver away from ear]
Chrissy Snow: He hung up!
Janet Wood: I'm sorry. Gee...!
Chrissy Snow: It's okay. I don't like people who can't make up their minds anyway.
This episode amounts to a classic 'Three's Company' misunderstanding, which leads this viewer to think about how it's so often human nature to leap to the worst possible conclusion. A fiercely over-protective Janet, well aware of Jacks' multitude of girlfriends, was determined that he *behave* himself around her "baby" sister (who tries in vain to tell Janet that she's grown-up and can make her own decisions). And Jack has his work cut out for him trying to convince Janet that he didn't really *do* anything with her sister.
Stanleys' inability to get a good nights' sleep forms a B plot that joins the main plot in a logical enough way: he comes up to complain after hearing all the door-slamming in the kids' apartment.
'My Sisters' Keeper' certainly delivers some good laughs, mostly thanks to Mr. Ritter, but isn't as falling-down funny as the best episodes. Ericsons' bright presence does help.
Six out of 10.
