Plot summary

Maxwell has Elizabeth Taylor over, and as with all celebrities, Fran cannot control herself until she meets her. A very friendly Elizabeth asks Fran to take her black pearls necklace to a courier, but Fran, with prompting from Sylvia (who is also desperate to meet Elizabeth), decides to handle the situation herself. She takes a cab, and accidentally bumps her head against the window when the driver ( Rosie O'Donnell ) misses a red light. She wakes up in the hospital with amnesia, and believes that she is Mrs. Sheffield (which Maxwell cannot bring himself to correct). However, news about an old rival restores Fran's memory, and she blurts out that she lost Elizabeth's pearls just as Maxwell enters.
