Caroline and Richard's Mom

Episode Number: 21    Season Num: 1    First Aired: Thursday April 25, 1996    Prod Code: 120
Richard faces some childhood traumas when his mother (Ashley) makes a surprise visit: it seems she is given to claiming to know celebrities personally, and Richard has never quite gotten over her promise to have Salvador Dali look at his paintings.
