Complete story — includes the ending

Fran takes Gracie to the Loehmann's Semi-Annual Red Star Clearance and tussles over a green sweater with another shopper ( Nora Dunn ). Back at the mansion, Maxwell threatens to send Brighton to military school unless his science grade improves. Maxwell also warns Fran not to help Brighton with his science project, but of course Fran does not listen. They decide to warm a bird's eggs with lights and make a report on the birth, but Fran forgets to turn off the lights and the eggs hard boil. Now Fran must ask Brighton's teacher for an extension, and is surprised to learn the teacher is the same woman from whom she snatched the green sweater.
