Complete story — includes the ending

C.C.'s father Stewart comes for a visit and surprises everyone by being the polar opposite of his daughter. At dinner, Stewart reveals that he will be attending a Barbra Streisand concert while in town, and invites C.C., who turns him down; an ecstatic Fran offers to go instead. Stewart and Fran begin spending a great deal of time together, which upsets C.C., though she refuses to admit it. Fran realizes C.C.'s troubles and encourages her to open up about her feelings; this reunites the Babcocks, and they go to the concert together (though Stewart arranges for Barbra to talk with Fran on the phone as thanks for her help). Meanwhile, Maxwell is invited to speak at a theatre symposium on the same day he promised to take Brighton to a Mets game. Inspired by Fran's example, he breaks the engagement to spend time with his son, only to discover that Brighton already made other plans.
