The Nanny season 5 episode 2, titled "First Date," begins with Fran Fine, played by Fran Drescher, daydreaming about her crush, Maxwell Sheffield, played by Charles Shaughnessy. She's eager to impress him and win him over, hoping that their date will mark a turning point in their relationship. Meanwhile, Maxwell is in the midst of a midlife crisis and is struggling with his own feelings of inadequacy.

As Fran and Maxwell prepare for their date, they receive some unexpected news. Maxwell's sister, Jocelyn, played by Nancy Frangione, arrives in town from England and announces that she's getting divorced from her husband. Fran and Maxwell agree to let her stay with them for a while, but this puts a damper on their plans for the evening.

As Jocelyn settles into their home, Fran takes her under her wing and tries to help her adjust to life as a single woman. However, Jocelyn isn't interested in taking Fran's advice and instead turns to drinking as a way to cope with her problems. Meanwhile, Maxwell is still grappling with his own feelings and remains distant from Fran.

Despite their rocky start, Fran and Jocelyn eventually bond over their shared experiences and become close friends. Together, they come up with a plan for Fran to win over Maxwell once and for all. They plan a romantic surprise for him, hoping to show him that Fran is the woman he truly wants in his life.

As the evening progresses, Fran and Maxwell's date is interrupted by Jocelyn, who has gotten into a drunken argument with her ex-husband over the phone. The chaos culminates in a hilarious and heartwarming moment, as Fran and Maxwell finally express their true feelings for one another.

Overall, "First Date" is a fun-filled episode that showcases the best of The Nanny's humor and heart. While Fran's romantic pursuit of Maxwell takes center stage, it's the bond between Fran and Jocelyn that provides the emotional core of the story. Fans of the show will love watching these beloved characters navigate their way through the ups and downs of life and love.
