Fran takes Gracie to the Loehmann’s Semi Annual Red Star Clearance and has to fight over a green sweater with another woman. Back at the mansion, Brighton is having some problems with his science grade and Maxwell tells him he’ll be sent to military school shall his grades not rise. He also tells Fran not to help him with his science project, but of course Fran doesn’t listen to him. They decide to warm up a bird’s eggs with lights and make a report on the birth, but Fran forget the lights on and the eggs hard boil. Now she has to ask Brighton’s teacher for an extension, and what a surprise when she turns out to be the same lady Fran stole the green sweater from.
