Plot summary

Maxwell wants Brighton to play a sport, but he fails at all things athletic. He soon discovers that he has a talent for canasta, and joins Sylvia and Yetta's team. Unfortunately, Sylvia decides to kick Fran out of the group to make room for Brighton, causing a rift between the Fines. The family travels to Atlantic City for a championship, where Fran bumps into Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, while trying to solve her problem. Brighton eventually convinces the Fine women to make up, and Fran joins the group for the championship. Meanwhile, Niles, alone in the house and supposedly bored, parodies the dancing scene in Risky Business until C.C. returns.
