The Upper East Side townhouse hums with chaotic energy. Fran chases the children through the foyer while Niles tidies. Suddenly, the doorbell chimes. Niles opens it and freezes. Fran, bewildered, follows. A woman enters, shedding her jacket. Gracie sprints forward, leaping into her arms. The other children follow suit, hugging the stranger. Niles whispers to a stunned Fran, “That’s their mother.” Fran’s eyes widen, then she sighs with genuine admiration, “Oh wow, why did no one tell me she’s hot!” Niles retreats to fetch Maxwell, leaving Fran and the kids with the unexpected arrival.
