 At the breakfast table, the family discusses plans for the day. We learn that Gracie has a new friend, a real one this time, coming over to play. Max is off to the doctors for a physical and a stress test. |  Mr. Sheffield invites Fran into the office and announces that Doug Emerson, a prospective investor, is coming to dinner. He also asks Fran to take the children should he die. Since you've been so wonderful with the children, I'd like to put it in the will that you continue as their nanny, just in case something happens to me. |
 Gracie's friend Erica thinks Brighton is "79 pounds of pure stud muffin." |  Fran finds the menu and assumes it's for Mr. Sheffield. Fran: Niles, do you know anything about this? Niles: Yes, if I don't follow it to the letter, Mr. Sheffield's going to have a coronary. |
 Preparations for the evenings big dinner are well under way when: No, no. It seems Mr. Emerson is recovering from a bypass. His doctor faxed over this American Heart Association diet. It's got to be followed to the letter I'm afraid. |
 Fran is in a panic that Mr. Sheffield may drop dead. Fran: Ya know, they're going to ship me and the kids off to his sister's in England. Val: England? With all that rain? What are you going to do there? You know you frizz! Fran: Oh my God! Now you know how upset I am. I didn't even think about my hair! |  Throughout dinner, Fran takes away any rich, fatty food from Mr. Sheffield's plate, and gives it to Mr. Emerson. As usual, she is subtlety personified. Oh my God, fire! |
 Then she goes too far with the hollandaise sauce. Max: Have you lost your mind? Miss Fine, what are you doing? Fran: Well, egg is such a good moisturizer, and my hands have been so dry lately. |  Max: Miss Fine, could I have a little word with you...... in the kitchen please? |
 Max:When you first came to this house, I thought 'Oh, she's nuts!'. Then we began making progress. I actually thought I was beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Fran: Don't go towards the light! |  Fran: Why can't you follow the menu from your cardiologist? Max: This is Emersons diet. The only coronary I'm going to get around here is over you! |  Meanwhile, the rich meal caused Emerson to end up in the hospital. Luckily, it turned out to be indigestion rather than a heart attack. |

Not While I'm Around
(from Sweeney Todd
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim)

Nothing's gonna harm you Not while I'm around Nothing's gonna harm you No sir, not while I'm around Demons are prowling everywhere nowadays I'll send them howling I don't care I got ways No one's gonna hurt you No one's gonna dare Others can desert you Not a worry Whistle I'll be there Demons'll charm you with a smile for awhile But in time Nothing's gonna harm you Not while I'm around |
Not to worry,
not to worry, I may not be smart but I ain't dumb. I can do it, put me to it, show me something I can overcome. Not to worry, mum. Being close and being clever ain't like being true. I don't need to, I won't ever hide a thing from you, like some. No one's gonna hurt you No one's gonna dare Others can desert you Not a worry Whistle I'll be there Demons'll charm you with a smile for awhile But in time Nothing's gonna harm you Not while I'm around |
