18. Val's Boyfriend

Val gets a new boyfriend and Fran goes through an unusual situation: her best friend has a date and she doesn't! When Val's boyfriend makes a move on Fran, she thinks it's just jealousy and goes out with C.C., but later Val's boyfriend goes a little too far. Meanwhile, C.C. asks Maxwell for an equal partnership, and after he denies it, she quits. She pretends to have formed a new partnership with Marvin Hamlisch just to make Maxwell jealous, and later begs Fran to help reunite her with Maxwell. Fran does so by getting her old music teacher--who happens to look exactly like Marvin (and is played by him)--to pretend to be Hamlisch and convince Maxwell to take C.C. back.
