Synopsis[]
Fran's exciting plans for Maggie's Sweet Sixteen party go awry because of family antagonisms.
Plot[]
Maggie's 16th birthday approaches and Fran intervenes in Maxwell's plans for her party. Instead of a boring party at the Guggenheim Museum, Fran convinces Mr. Sheffield to have it at her "Tanta" (Aunt) Frieda's club. Maggie loves the idea, but before the party can take place, Fran has to solve a very large family feud: her mother and Frieda haven't spoken since 1979. The sisters in law eventually make peace with some prompting from Fran (and Niles's chocolate cake), and the party begins. During the event, Frieda has a wardrobe malfunction when she emerges from the bathroom, which reminds her of why she and Sylvia fought in the first place. They start a food fight which quickly spreads to the whole party in a huge food fight. When Mr. Sheffield enters, he is shocked and about to tell Fran off when Maggie thanks them for the best party ever.
