30. The Settlement

Complete story — includes the ending

Joe considers new found possibilities, when he comes into a large sum of money. Meanwhile, a water leak is found on the living room ceiling. When Joe comes into nearly $167,000, he decides to resign from being a nanny and moves. Mel starts interviewing for a new nanny but can't find one she likes. Mel visits Joe in his new apartment, and as she leaves she kisses him, much to the surprise of both of them. When Joe goes to collect his money, he doesn't receive it because his address being the same as Lennox and Ryder is seen as suspicious. When he explains this to Mel, she agrees that he should move back in and continue to be their nanny. Allusion to Blossom: In a moment of shock, Joe utters "Whoa!" and notes "I haven't said that in a long time", referencing his famous catchphrase from the 1990s series in which he co-starred alongside Mayim Bialik.
