FRAN TRIES TO IMPROVE NILES’ SOCIAL LIFE AFTER LEARNING HE FEELS LONELY -- Fran (Fran Drescher) notices that Niles (Daniel Davis) rarely leaves the Sheffield house and suspects he has no social life outside his work. Determined to help, she encourages him to meet new people and pushes him toward the possibility of dating. Maxwell (Charles Shaughnessy) doubts Niles is interested in romance, while Maggie (Nicholle Tom), Brighton (Benjamin Salisbury), and Grace (Madeline Zima) watch Fran attempt to change the butler’s routine. Fran arranges a social opportunity for Niles, but his dry humor and dedication to the household complicate the plan. Niles ultimately reveals he prefers his current life. Lauren Lane also stars. TVPG
