Plot summary
Pressured by his family, Maxwell wants Fran to sign a pre-nup, which upsets her. She thinks he doesn't trust her and/or doesn't have faith their marriage will last. Unbelievably, Val opens her eyes to what's happening and how it’s to Fran's benefit to sign. Brighton has a roller-skating accident and is taken to the hospital, and Fran isn’t allowed in because she isn’t his legal guardian. So she disguises herself as a nun to see him. In the hospital room, Fran tells Brighton, Maggie and Gracie that she loves them like they were hers.
After listening to that, Maxwell decides he doesn’t want Fran to sign any pre-nup, but the adoption papers that will make Fran the kids' mother. Meanwhile, C.C. sends a temporary replacement, who looks, walks, talks and acts just like her, for Niles' desperation - until she reveals her taste for men.
