17. Polly in the Middle

Polly the babysitter ( Julie Hagerty ) is caught in a love triangle between Abe and Craig after Lois sets her up with Craig and Hal sets her up with Abe – unbeknownst to each other – and she enjoys spending time with both of them. Malcolm becomes fed up with Dewey's belief in a lucky shirt, believing he is just being superstitious. Meanwhile, Francis finds himself more and more dominated by Piama's fiery personality, feeling embarrassed in front of his co-ranchers, who are all macho Mexicans who believe that women shouldn't dominate men.
