Aunt Frieda arrives to bring Fran her wedding present. She had chosen not to attend the ceremony because Sylvia wouldn't allow her to sing.

In retribution, Frieda bought the apartment building that Sylvia and Morty live in and evicted them, leaving Sylvia nowhere to go.

Fran reassures her mother that she wouldn't allow her to become homeless and Sylvia and Morty move into the mansion.

Now she has to tell Max about it. A sexy negligee, some perfume, and hugs and kisses are designed to cushion the blow. She finally spits most of it out.
Fran: Okay alright, I'll tell you, but while I'm telling you, would you please, just focus on the negligee.
Frieda bought mom and dad's building and threw them out of their apartment.

Max is concerned for them.
Fran: Don't worry, they already found a new beautiful place to stay.
Max: Well that's good. Nearby?
Fran: Walking distance.
Sylvia: Do you use all your closets in here?
Max: No....
Fran: Focus on the negligee.

The next morning, Max and C.C. are looking for a virile, masculine model for an advertising poster for their show. Niles offers, but Michael gets the job.

The mood doesn't last long though, since Sylvia starts picking on her almost immediately.
Fran: Have I told to how glad I am that you're here?
Sylvia: Of course you are. Otherwise, you would be up at the crack of dawn making blintzes for your husband. Little Miss 'Sleep 'til 10:30'.
Fran: So, have I told to how glad I am that you're here?

Fran comes downstairs happy that her mommy is there.

Max does enjoy the pampering, but Fran decides it's time Ma was out.
Sylvia:Climb up on my knee sonny boy.

Fran resolves to give him more attention in the future.
Fran: Oh my poor Maxwell, and here I was too lazy to get out of bed and make him a lousy blintz this morning. Well that's all going to change. From here on in I'm going to give him everything that he was deprived of as a child. Love, warmth, comfort. But first, I'm going to make up for him being bottle fed.

Niles explains to a slightly jealous Fran why Max is enjoying the fuss.
Niles: Do you know that when he was a child and cried, his mother left him in the garden until he stopped?

She starts by "making" a picnic lunch to take to Max at the photo shoot.

Niles decides to go down to the shoot too, hoping that Michael won't work out for them.

At the shoot, Fran sneaks up on Max and blows in his ear.
Max: Oh Caitlin, how many times do I have to tell you I'm a married man?
Fran: I'll tell Caitlin, then I'll kill her.

Max appreciates her efforts, but explains that if he wanted that much fuss made over him, he'd have married Niles.

Max sends her home to light the candles and warm up the Jacuzzi, but Fran tells him that Mom and Dad have the Jacuzzi booked for that night.

Even Max finds that irritating and is ready to go along with any scheme Fran can come up with. Fran figures they need to think of a way to get Frieda to have sung at their wedding and remembers another use for the camcorder they keep in their bedroom.

Fran invites Frieda and Sylvia over and the plan is in motion.
Frieda: You know, I have that exact skirt in blue.
Sylvia: They make it in blue?
Frieda: Well teal, but mine has Western stitching.
Fran: This is how you say I'm sorry in Jewish.

Since Frieda didn't get to attend the wedding, they all sit down to watch the video. Fran has spliced in pictures of Frieda enjoying activities with everyone.
Frieda: She looks so beautiful!

Aunt Marilyn: I don't want to say anything, but could this chicken be dryer?
Aunt Rose: I'll take the dry chicken over the fishy Salmon.
Frieda: I don't know about you girls, but my seabass is delicious.

Then Brighton and Grace ask Frieda to sing as part of the wedding. She treats the group to "I Remember You."

Even Sylvia is touched, and with a little prodding, apologizes.
Sylvia: Does the teal skirt come with a matching jacket.

Freida:I think so, but I can't promise it has western stitching.

Max: You know I have to admit that I'm
going to miss your mother when she leaves.

Fran: Climb upstairs with me, sonny boy.
The Jacuzzi's finally free sonny boy.

I Remember You

I remember you, you're the one that made
My dreams come true a few kisses ago.
I remember you, you're the one that said,
"I love you too, didn't you know?"

I remember too, a distant bell,
And stars that fell, like rain, out of the blue.
When my life is through and the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all, I shall tell them I remember you.

"I Remember You"
