Brighton wants to go to Atlantic City with his friends and Dad says "No." Fran tries to talk him into it, but it doesn't work.
Fran: Well I think that we should reopen the discussion.
Max: There is nothing left to discuss, I have made up my mind. He's not going. Case closed.

Fran isn't upset until Brighton points out that Max had blown off Fran's opinion. The argument heats up until Max slips.
Max: I'm his father. I know what's best for him.
Fran: And what am I?
Max: You're the Nanny.
Fran: Ohhhh! You called me the "N" word!

Fran turns to Yetta and her mother for advice. She wants Max to start thinking of her as his wife, not the nanny, and the older, wiser ladies advise denying him 'the bing bing' to get what she wants.

But she forgets her resolve pretty darn quick at the sight of him.
Fran: Oh I'm sorry honey!

So that night, Fran is determined to 'withhold' until Max apologizes.

She gets a pair of diamond earrings as her apology the next morning.

Maxwell is making an appearance on Entertainment Tonight and is a little nervous.
Bob Goen: Congratulations to you and the new Mrs. Sheffield.
Max: Who? Oh, my nanny.

Whoops!

But a new necklace that matches the earrings takes care of that little mistake.

Fran decides that hiring a new nanny may be the best way to get Max used to her new role, but it also leaves Fran with nothing to do.

She joins a country club to fill her day.

Meanwhile, back at the house, Grace is looking for Fran. Dad volunteers to help with her problem.
Grace: Well Dad, all my friends are already on their cycle. Why aren't I?
Max: Now see, we didn't have to bother Fran with that. I'll buy you a bicycle.

Nanny Bowers is wondering what the old nanny did all day. Niles steps in to describe the position.
Niles: Well in addition to tending to the children, her duties were dusting, cleaning, vacuuming...
Nanny Bowers: Oh no, I am on to you. Your daughter C.C. warned me about your shenanigans.

Max tries to list some of the things the nanny used to do.
Max: Sometimes when I was working late at night, she'd come in here to the office, jump on my desk, cross her legs in a most enticing manner.....
Nanny Bowers: Well I suppose...
Max: Oh no, no, no!

When Fran gets home, Mags wants advice about spending the night with her boyfriend.
Fran: Get upstairs, what, are you crazy! And you're never leaving the house again!

And Gracie's problem seems to have disappeared too.
Grace: Who ate the last Nutter Butter and why don't we have any back up???

Fran: I'm not cut out to be one of those fancy wives whose nanny knows their kid better than they do. I wanna be the nanny.
Max: Well I want you to be the nanny. That's who I fell in love with. That's who raised my kids so beautifully. And that's who I wanted to marry.

Fran: Well I think that I could be very happy being the nanny and your wife.
Max: What do you say I take the two of you upstairs?
Fran: Oh Mr. Sheffield! You're embarrassing me.
Which one do you want to be wearing this??
