The House That Dharma Built

Familien Finklestein søger hjælp hos Dharma og Greg, da en hensynsløs ejendomsmægler udviser interesse for deres hjem.

Dharmas Eltern Abby und Larry werden von dem skrupellosen Immobilienmakler David Saunders massiv unter Druck gesetzt, weil er unbedingt ihr Haus kaufen will, um auf dem Grundstück zu bauen. Dharma möchte das Problem zunächst auf menschliche Weise lösen, doch als der Makler sich von seiner "unfeinen" Seite zeigt, kennt auch sie keine Gnade mehr. Dharma beweist eindrucksvoll, dass es mehr als unangenehm ist, sie als Feindin zu haben ...

Gail Mancuso seems to direct all the best episodes, and this is no exception: A friendly game of strip poker between the newlyweds is interrupted by an emergency visit from Larry and Abbie (who are willing to wait a half hour until the sex is finished, an offer Greg can't accept). It turns out that their property is under siege by an unscrupulous developer who happens to be a former, and hated, classmate of Greg's. After Dharma invites the developer and his wife to dinner, then has to fight off his sexual advances, she is forced to accept Greg's viewpoint -- that he is evil -- and to seek a flattered Kitty's advice on how to get rid of him and save her parents' beloved home. The solution involves Jane, Pete, a trampoline, some garbage cans, and the IRS... and a wonderful coda using the trampoline. (In the course of the episode we also learn that Dharma has been both a magician's assistant and a professional casino dealer.)
