When Cesar complains about marital tensions as his wife wants him to take a janitor job so he can remain near home, Peter would wisely keep out.

Dori wisely ignores Fran's feminist objections to matchmaking and uses reverse psychology to make sure she dates Frankie, the handsome, charming, helpful heir and new manager of the neighborhood's best pizzeria, which he is about to reopen. Peter is delighted with Frankie's volunteered serviced as free handyman. Nobody understands why Fran can't resist flirting again with unavailable Elliot.
