He arrives and they greet each other. Fran comes down the stairs in a flashy outfit. She introduces Fran as “the help.” Noel, her brother, asks CC if anything is going on between Max and Fran. She instantly ruffles and says no. He makes a wager with CC that the Nanny can be taught. It’s his Lamborghini against her thoroughbred. She wants Noel to get Fran on Jeopardy. He accepts.

It’s now the day of Jeopardy. Fran is freaking out backstage. Fran is in the negative with minus $1,300, while the other two have positive numbers. Fran finally gets one right. She then gets the daily double correct and moves into the positive. She tries to cheat on Final Jeopardy. Both competitors get it wrong. It’s now time to see Fran’s answer.
