 Maggie wants Fran to help talk her Dad into letting her get a tattoo. Fran says "no," until Val let's it slip that Fran has a tattoo herself. |  In a flashback, we see Fran and Val at 17 getting the tattoo. |  Sylvia let's Fran know what she thinks of this. Sylvia: You know this time you haven't just defied you mother, this time you have defied God. If you have a tattoo you can't be buried in a Jewish cemetery and unless you have it removed, consider yourself disowned. |
 Niles just has to let Mr. Sheffield know about Fran's secret. But since he has promised not to say anything, he has to do it with a game of charades. |  Fran goes in to talk to Mr. Sheffield about Maggie but he has other things on his mind. Fran: Let me ask you something, how do you feel about tattoos? Max: Well Miss Fine, seeing as you asked, I'm a little intrigued by the idea of painted flesh on some part of the body reserved only for that special someone to ... um... well, tattoos are okay in my book! Maggie: (peeking in the door) Thanks Daddy! Max: What was that? Fran: Well you just gave your daughter permission to get a tattoo. Max: What? I'd never let Margaret get a tattoo. Fran: Well you just said you loved tattoos?! Max: Miss Fine, I was talking about on you! |
 Max is intrigued by the concept. Max: Shameful. I wonder where it is? Niles: Well obviously on a part of her body hidden by clothing. Max: Well let's see, that narrows it down to, what Niles, about two inches? |
 Max is still trying to spot the tattoo and Fran is happy with the attention. |  But to make her mother happy, she goes to see a doctor about getting the tattoo removed. |  Before having it done, she buys a new bathing suit to show off her tattoo to Mr. Sheffield and then 'convinces' the kids to choose Bermuda as the destination for the upcoming four day holiday weekend. |
 They enjoy spending some quiet time together without the kids and Max suggests a midnight swim. |  Fran thinks about what Grace said, and changes her mind about that midnight 'swim.' Max: Oh Miss Fine, why aren't you in your thong...I mean thuit... bathing suit. Fran: You know, I really didn't feel like changing. I don't think it's the right time for us to take a swim. Max: Right. I understand. [pause] How about now? |
 Fran goes to change and tuck Gracie in, but Grace wants Fran to stay with her till she falls asleep. She tells Fran that she's afraid of changes because if you don't like things, you can't go back again. |
 Instead, they play a nice friendly game of Ping Pong. |  The game gets increasingly 'heated.' |  Afterwards: Fran: Chinese or Italian? Max: Both! |

Maniac
|
Just a small town girl on a Saturday night Looking for the fight of her life In the real time world no one sees her at all They all say she's crazy Locking rhythm to the beat of her heart Changing movement into light She had danced into the danger zone When the dancer becomes the dance It can cut you like a knife If the fight becomes the fire On the wire between will and what will be She's a maniac, maniac on the floor And she's dancing like she's never danced before She's a maniac, maniac on the floor And she's dancing like she's never danced before |
On the ice blue line of insanity Is a place most never see It's a hard won place of mystery, touch it but can't hold it You work all your life, for that moment in time It could come or pass you by It's a push shove world But there's always a chance If the hunger stays the night There's a cold kinetic heat Struggling stretching for the peak Never stopping with her head against the wind She's a maniac, maniac on the floor And she's dancing like she's never danced before She's a maniac, maniac on the floor And she's dancing like she's never danced before |
