5.4 Fransom

written by: Jayne Hamil

C.C. and Chester are on the cover of Park Place Magazine. C.C. mentions that she need a new dogwalker and hires Fran to do the job.

Three generations of Fine woman are trying to plan Yetta's wedding shower. Yetta gives Fran a handful of chocolate Ex-Lax she won playing Bingo.

Fran and Gracie take Chester on his walk in Central Park and Fran starts trolling for guys.

Fran puts Chester down to play at her new friend's suggestion and he disappears.	Fran tells C.C. the bad news. Fran: Oh Miss Babcock I have something to tell you that is going to be very hard for you to take. C.C.: You asked her to marry you, you scum! Ten years of my life.... Max: C.C., C.C. Fran lost Chester in Central Park. C.C.: Oh whew! Ya scared the hell outa me.
Mr. Sheffield comforts a hysterical Fran.

Jeff The Cop comes over to set up some wiretaps since there have been several dognappings in the area.

The dognapper calls and demands $20,000 for Chester's safe return.

C.C. isn't exactly a soft touch and instead of paying up, she offers the money as a reward for whoever turns in the dognapper.

Fran and Val decide to try to find Chester themselves to get the reward money. They pose as Ice Cream Men and the kidnapper happens to buy some ice cream.	Max follows the instructions carefully, going to a bowling alley to pick up a note and then to a pool to find a key to a locker that contains a cell phone. Max: Now give me back my nanny! The kidnapper tells him where to take the money.
They follow him home but get caught themselves. The kidnapper tells Mr. Sheffield what he has to do to rescue the girls.

Meanwhile, Fran offers her kidnappers some of the 'chocolate' that Grandma Yetta had given her.	Mr. Sheffield rescues them. Fran: Oh Mr. Sheffield, in Israel there's an ancient custom that says when a man saves a woman's life she must stand by his side forever, in a professionally decorated mock Tudor house on a large corner lot in Great Neck. Max: We don't live in Israel. Fran: I know.... want a piece of chocolate?
When Arianna goes to collect the money from Max, the chocolate kicks in and she has to make a run for a bathroom. The other kidnapper isn't far behind.
