Plot summary

Maggie skips out on gym class to avoid her tough teacher using Fran's advice: fake medical notes. When she is caught, Fran steps in to defuse the situation, only to find that Maggie's gym teacher Mrs. Wickervich ( Rita Moreno ) is the same teacher that Fran had in high school. Fran is able to arrange for a final physical test for Maggie, and helps her train; though both fail miserably, Fran performs the Heimlich maneuver on Mrs. Wickervich and uses the good deed as leverage to get Maggie an A. Meanwhile, Maxwell also deals with a demon from his past when he hires a famous stage actor who he used to work for; with some help from Fran, he is eventually able to rein the actor in.
