Season Five
| Our Comments | Fun Stuff |
| Fran, Sylvia and Grace enjoy a bowl of diet soup that Sylvia brought over. | Val's cousin Gigi got two tickets to Michael Bolton's launching party for his opera CD that night. Val offers them to Fran and she decides to invite Mr. Sheffield. | He accepts, but Fran is shocked to find a disgusting rash covering her entire body. |
| She goes to the drugstore to buy some ointment but it doesn't help. | Niles: Miss Fine, no one wants this more than I do, but your whole body is covered with blotches. Why don't you just cancel this evening? Fran: Five years, two dates?!! I don't care if I gotta lose a toe and keep it on ice in my purse, I'm goin'!! |
| Mr. Sheffield is happy that they are going out, but Fran doesn't tell him about the rash. Niles helps her out by scratching the itch. |
| They arrive at the party and everything is very romantic, but Fran just can't stop scratching. | Michael sings, and something gets Maxwell in the mood. Max: You look so beautiful tonight. I rather wish we were alone. Fran: Oh Mr. Sheffield, you don't know how good that makes me feel. Max: What do you say the two of us just slip away? Fran:Yes, yes! Oh I can't wait to get out of this dress. Max:Then, I'll go get us a room. Fran:Okay. |
| They meet Michael Bolton and Fran gets an autograph, still itching. |
| They arrive at the room and Mr. Sheffield pours champagne. Fran has an alternative use for the ice: soothing her sore skin. Fran:Oh, oh, oohoooohhhhh! Max: Hey wait for me! | Fran realizes she has got a serious problem here and calls home to delay things. While Mr. Sheffield is on the phone, she slips away. | She heads to the hospital and has the mazel to get a doctor on his first night of seeing patients. He gives her a shot of cortisone to relieve the itching, but fails to ask if she is allergic to any medications..... |
| Back at the hotel, Max is still listening to Gracie go on. Finally, he asks to talk to Niles. Max: Put her to bed! | Fran:Oh how long have we dreamt of this moment. Max: Here we.... Fran:What? What's the matter?? Ohhh, oh my God! |
| Fran arrives back and slips on the bed. Max is ready and waiting. Max: Wait right there, don't you move, don't move a thing. |
| They rush back to the hospital. Fran:Oh Mr. Sheffield, you're never going to find me attractive again. Max: Oh Miss Fine, don't you be ridiculous. There's two, three, six times as much of you to love! | They give her a shot to counteract the cortisone and discover that the original rash was from the pumpkin tortellini that was in the diet soup that Sylvia had given her. | C.C.:Maxwell there's a horrifying glimpse of the future. The 250 pound apple doesn't fall far from the tree. |
| Max: Oh good morning Miss Fine. Glad to see you're all back to normal. Fran:Yeah, much better thank you. Max:You know it's a real pity we were interrupted. I thought maybe tonight we could pick up where we left off. Fran:Ya know Mr. Sheffield I really prefer when things are kind of spontaneous. | Max: Well, perhaps you're right. Maybe it's a sign we should wait. Fran:We'll know when the time is right. Max leaves and Fran comes out from behind the counter. Fran:Oy I could kill you Ma. |
