Caroline and the Bar Mitzvah

Richard steckt in Geldnöten und ist froh, als ihm seine Tante Frieda ein verlockendes Angebot macht: Sie will ihm 5000 Dollar schenken, wenn er Bar Mitzwah feiert. Da Richard nicht aus Glaubensgründen an der Zeremonie teilnimmt, will er die Sache geheim halten. Doch Caroline kommt dahinter und versucht auf raffinierte Weise zu verhindern, dass Richard sich kaufen lässt.

Richard's Aunt Frieda announces that before she moves to Florida and wants to see Richard go through with the bar mitzvah he abandoned, and is willing to pay him $5,000 for the privilege. While an embarrassed Richard returns to Hebrew school, Caroline and Annie prepare a mocking party in his honor -- until Richard confesses to Caroline that he is doing it for the money only because he is humiliated by her having to pick up the tab for everything they do together. Meanwhile, Del gets a great deal in expensively tailored Italian suits, but won't admit they are several sizes too small for him.
