Caroline and the Red Sauce

Nachdem Annies Mutter mit einem Koffer vor der Tür ihrer Tochter auftaucht, sieht sich Caroline unvermutet in einen Familienkrieg verwickelt. Richard will sein Gehalt aufbessern, indem er sich in einem Kaufhaus als Verpacker betätigt. Als er ein wertvolles Geschenk verlegt, kommt es zum Chaos.

Annie's mother arrives unexpectedly and moves in with her, to her mounting dismay, but refuses to tell her why - then confesses to Caroline that she has left Annie's father. Annie demands a showdown with her father, who in turn confesses that this is no ordinary spat: he is in love for the first time in his life with another woman. Meanwhile, Richard takes a temporary job as a gift wrapper for Macy's, but his bad attitude gets him demoted to elf; and Del and Charley become convinced that their new assistant is a psycho killer, since all the people on her resume turn out to be dead.
