[edit] Synopsis
Fran's Uncle Jack and Cousin Marsha, from Boca Raton, Florida, are visiting and Sylvia asks Fran to pose as Maxwell's wife so that they can brag about it to their relatives. Maxwell is out taking the children to the museum, so Fran convinces Niles to pose as Maxwell. However, two butlers from the National Butler's Association arrive to check on Niles' performance, which they will judge to see if Niles is eligible to be in the Association or not. They try to get rid of the butlers, but Maxwell arrives just in time. Reluctant at first, he gives in to the charade and pretends to be Niles. The entire scheme is ruined when C.C. arrives and inadvertently lets Maxwell's identity slip. However, Maxwell and Fran still manage to get Niles approved to the Association.
