The Nanny/Awesome

• In "Sunday in the Park with Fran", Maxwell and C.C. try to curry favor with theatre critic Frank Bradley, and to do so, they (at C.C.'s insistence) make Gracie go on a playdate with his son, Frank Jr., despite Gracie's insistence that she doesn't like him, and Fran's support of her. During the playdate, Fran hits Frank Jr. with a baguette because he was bullying Gracie. So Maxwell and C.C. arrange a meeting for Fran to apologize, but when he proves incredibly hostile towards Fran, Maxwell decides enough is enough:

Maxwell: You know, Frank, I'm getting bloody tired of kissing up to you...
C.C.: (interrupting) I'm not. Let me do it...
Maxwell: Miss Fine was right from the beginning. I should never have forced my little girl to play with your son. Quite clearly, he deserved everything he got. And I don't care for what you think of my play, and frankly, I don't care much for you, either. Now, let me show you the door. (gesturing behind him without turning) It's over there.

• During "Here Comes the Brood" C.C upsets Gracie by telling her that Fran only spends time with the kids because she is paid to and only pretends to loves them. When Fran finds out she sits down with C.C and sets her straight, doing so in the most polite but still awesome way possible.

"Look, you're a lovely woman, and I wish you well, but if you ever hurt one of my kids again they'll be wiping your blue blood off the walls. And I mean that in the nicest possible way."
