12. The Fran in the Mirror

While Maxwell is away, Fran invests $1 million with his old college chum, Rodney Pembroke ( Maxwell Caulfield ). Soon after, she hears that he is broke and has been swindling others. She goes and demands it back, but after he gives her the check she decides to invest anyway, to give him another chance. Max and Fran then return again and he tells them that it was a good investment and Max has made $500,000. Fran attempts to get Grace admitted to a prestigious school and Niles learns a distant relative has died and left him an estate and title.
