Plot summary
Maxwell decides to send Maggie off to a convent in Switzerland and wants Fran to tell her the news. Fran instead suggests sending Maggie to a kibbutz in Israel, which she and Val did together at Maggie's age. While not happy with her decision, Maxwell eventually agrees. Fran later remembers that she hated the kibbutz and lost her "hat" (that is, virginity) there. She then tries to convince Maxwell to reverse his decision, resulting in the whole family visiting the kibbutz. Meanwhile, Niles has the holidays for himself and C.C. teases him for being cheap. They both plan separate holidays, but end up together.
