Plot summary
When Maxwell invites a high-profile actress to recover at his house from plastic surgery, Fran goes to great lengths to find out who she is. Eventually, she discovers that the mystery guest is Cher. She blabs to Val, who apparently spreads the news. Thankfully, Fran manages to think of a way to scare off reporters, involving one of her cross-dressing cousins who imitates Cher. In the end, it turns out that the press didn't learn about Cher from Val, but from a friend of Maxwell's to whom he blabbed. Meanwhile, Brighton borrows a parrot from a friend despite his reputation of forgetting to feed his pets.
