Synopsis

Jill's mother, Nana, is coming to visit for Mark's birthday. When she arrives, she has lost a lot of weight thanks to Tim and all his jokes about her. Jill has cleaned the house and wants it to look perfect for Nana's arrival, but Nana says it looks "nice" and that is where the problems begin. Nana tells stories about Jill, and has a gift for her. Jill wants the antique clock but instead she gets a tea set. Tim can't understand why Jill and her mother don't speak to each other about the problems. When Nana thinks that Tim and Jill are having problems, Tim tells her about Jill's problems with her.
