4.17 Samson He Denied Her

written by: Flo Cameron

Fran and Niles celebrate that Mr. Sheffield has told Fran that he made a big mistake six months ago and he wants to talk to her about it.

But the mistake was that he had withheld too much in taxes from her paycheck. Fran is aggravated at him so that when C.C. is summoned for jury duty, Fran decides to go too.

The trial that Fran and C.C. end up on is the Venchenzio trial, a romance novel model that Fran admires.

Back at the house, Sylvia volunteers to be the temporary replacement nanny. Sylvia: Say hello to your new nanny!	At the trial, Venchenzio's housekeeper is accused of cutting all his hair off when he told her he loved her and then took it back.
	The trial makes the news and Max knows that the details of the trial and it's similarities to their situation is not good news for him.

The family under Nanny Sylvia is beginning to suffer. Niles: When the ingredients are combined she can smell them immediately.	Fran feels that the housekeeper had good reason to do it but finally is convinced by Venchenzio's reasoning. Juror: Miss Hanson and I had feelings for each other but I couldn't risk the romance. She was like a mother to my children. My children couldn't handle losing another mother if our relationship didn't work out.
In the jury room, Fran is the lone hold out voting "not guilty". C.C.: If you don't vote guilty, I'm going to swing you by the head like a dead cat.

Fran: So in other words, the reason why he couldn't commit to her was because he was so much in love with her, he was afraid that if he blew it, not only would it hurt the kids, but he would lose her forever and that's why he took back the thing.	Another Juror: (crying) The same thing happened to me when I was a little boy.... You like a sensitive guy? C.C.: Yes, I used to be one.
	The family is glad to see Fran return. Fran: Hold it right there. Give that (sniffs the air) Southwest BBQ Chicken on Grilled Sourdough with a side of Shoestring Fries back to the boy! Brighton: God bless you Fran. Welcome home.

Mr. Sheffield is glad to have Fran back too. Fran: Mr. Sheffield, I understand now why you took back what you said and I'm not angry with you anymore. Max: Oh no, come on, don't toy with me Miss Fine. I'm weak with hunger. Fran: I'm not toying with you, come here.

Niles: Did you see the news? Venchenzio convinced the prosecutor to drop the charges and just married his housekeeper. Fran: If you think that holding me tight is going to get you out of this one Mister, well, you're just going to have to move your hands a little lower!
