The Whole Clan with Fran

Overview

Fran's parents Hal and Cookie, full-blood Jews who retired to Miami, are visiting her. Riley get to feel barely subtly that he is considered beneath their daughter, as if he were a spineless German sponger. Fran is furious when ma, who disapproves of all her choices, even openly takes Allison's side when the teenager wants to take the pill against PMS, while Fran fears that will only lay her totally open to boy-friend Todd, whom she mistrust even more then teenage hormones. Meanwhile Riley fears he's doing his cause no good by accepting to bet against Hal behind Cookie's back, as Hal looses every time, so he uses his winnings... When the three generations of girls go shopping, they find Todd in the mall, who obviously lied to be out of town. The mothers reconsider.
