* In an absolutely stunning example of GettingCrapPastTheRadar, "Frannie's Choice" has Danny (yes, THAT Danny) take Fran back and Fran agrees, so she's going to leave to get back with him and work at his bridal shop. The children, Maxwell, and Niles are all crushed, having gotten to like her by now, but C.C. is of course ''ecstatic'' to be rid of Fran. The children are in the kitchen, devastated by the news, and this exchange happens when the excited C.C. insists they ought to be happy for her:

* C.C. gets a big one, along with possibly her only SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. Through out the episode, Niles has convinced C.C. that Maxwell has ''four'' kids, using a picture of the family with Macauley Culkin. After the whole group goes out to a show, C.C. shows up with a little boy. Niles is understandably horrified, and reveals that he lied about there being four children before he runs off to phone the police. It turns out that C.C. knew Niles was playing her all along, and hired a child actor to play the boy she "kidnapped". When she's paying him, we get this gem:
