Mother and Son

Arthur begins to finally consider putting Maggie in a rest home after his wife leaves him.

After sending Maggie out for some milk 3 hours ago, Arthur discovers Maggie has been faking a broken wrist to get meals on wheels for free. This prompts the meals on wheels volunteer to think Arthur is incapable of looking after Maggie and sends a social worker to discuss the situation.

Arthur discovers Maggie has been arriving home on the back of a garbage truck, and making a nuisance of herself at a local hospital. This forces Arthur to tell Maggie not to go out during the day any more, but to no avail.

Arthur tries his best to get out of the house, and away from Maggie, for a holiday with a new girlfriend. But a series of misunderstandings leads his ex wife to believe he wants to take her on the holiday.

After spending several Saturday nights at home with Maggie, Arthur questions why he doesn't have a girlfriend. So he makes a date with Deidre, prompting Maggie to discover she hates to be left alone at night.

It's Maggie's birthday and the entire family gets together to celebrate. Maggie sees the family gathering the perfect chance to bring home a new boyfriend, and tells Arthur she'd like to marry again.
