Synopsis: Fran and Niles collapse on the couch to catch a quick rest but then they both get called. Maggie wants to go to a part with boys and no parents…not happening. CC wants Max to work with this director who thinks he’s a better playwright then Shakespeare. He plans to rewrite Romeo and Juliet. Felipe hears Fran yelling and decides she’s the perfect Juliet. The next morning there’s quite a discussion about Fran being in the play and not being in the play. Max makes her mad enough that she takes the part. Later that afternoon, Fran is rehearsing with Niles. CC and Max come out of his office and she managed to insult both Max and Felipe in the same breath. Max decides to help Fran with her lines and acting. He does manage to get her into the role quite well. They even rehearse the balcony scene and kiss. She nearly falls down the stairs. He seems a bit shaken too. Later that night, Brighton scare the life out of Grace. Max can’t get the two to bed. He loses his patience. Then Maggie comes in mad at Max again. Max is upset that Fran’s not back from rehearsal and Niles is upset his roast is not looking good. Max doesn’t want her to go in the living room, but she gets around him and is horrified.

Fran is not speaking to Max. Fran storms off upset and CC comes running in. She’s learned that Felipe needs a tax write off and needs a flop. They are so excited that she wasn’t hired due to her talent. Once it sets in, CC is still tickled but Max is horrified. It’s another rehearsal and they are practicing the death scene. It doesn’t go well. Longest death ever. Then she demolishes the set. Max pops backstage to visit Fran to apologize. She winds up not doing the play after all. That night at the mansion, Fran tries to shows Maggie how to get a yes out of Max, but it doesn’t’ work.
