Episode Summary

Del hopes to spark up romance with Annie's neurotic friend Cassandra, who plans on lighting a fire of her own - she's a compulsive pyromaniac just of an institution. Meanwhile, Caroline spends a night out on the town "alone," crashing the restaurant where Richard is trying to enjoy a quiet meal and ultimately being forced by him to attend a movie on her own. Meanwhile, Charlie keeps spotting monkeys throughout Manhattan, and becomes convinced they are taking over the city.

    10 Perfect

    Only the right writer, and the perfect giest star could make this one a real laugh riot! hide show

    I only watched a few certain episodes of this nightime sitcom. While I do enjoy Lea Thompson, my main focus of the prime time dial was the hour long drama. Still, I like to have humor in my life, so of course I watched other shows like "The Naked Truth" and "Frasier". This show was another one I liked. This episode, however, features Helen Slater as a pyromaniac with a burning desire for tonic and cigarettes. I was rolling on the floor in utter laughter. That's how funny the episode was. The main cast always supplied the laughs on a weekley basis, but in this episode, the laughs came from Helen Slater. She smoked in this episode! Smoking is something you don't usually see Slater do. That said, I was ecstatic to see this ep. One of the best in the series.
