Season 5 - Episode Guide

Angie and George react to Carmen's determination to marry Jason. Also, misfortune befalls Benny, affecting the whole family.

George wants to help Benny get an apartment, until he learns where her money goes; and Carmen is in denial about Jason breaking up with her.

Benny shows all the signs of clinical depression, and may lose her job for taking so much time off. L.A. mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has a cameo. Biker: Duane "Dog" Chapman.

Benny's lack of a car wears on the family as George, Angie and Carmen are called on as chauffeurs.

With Benny increasingly getting on George's nerves, Vic suggests killing her with kindness---but she proves indestructible.

After staying a few days with Ernie---and his parents---to escape his own mother, George encourages Ernie to get his own place.

Richard Lewis plays the therapist Max sees after a school shooting, which doesn't affect him as much as the battle between George and Benny.

On their anniversary, Angie and George plan to read long-lost letters they exchanged before they married. But at least one should stay lost.

After George embarrasses Benny at work, she takes some time off, but not for the reason he thinks.

Angie and George's premarital advice for a couple prompts a competition to see who does more work in their marriage.

George has second thoughts about spending Christmas alone after he lies to get out of a holiday reunion with Angie's family.

A college-educated consultant with a similar background inspires George to take classes and set an example for Max.

George drops his community-college course because it's too hard, but he can't tell the family because he doesn't want to set a bad example for Max, who has finally begun to study in school.

Angie doesn't like how George instructs Max about having a girlfriend. But Max's bed-wetting is indicative of a further problem. Dr. Woodson: Ken Howard. Kristi: Ashly Holloway.

Angie's rich former sister-in-law dies and leaves everything to her spoiled 20-year-old daughter, Veronica (Aimee Garcia). But she can't get her money until George---who's the trustee of the will---decides she's mature enough to handle it.

George decides to teach his rich niece Veronica a lesson in the value of honest labor by getting her a job at the factory. Trouble is, the men want to do all of her work, and the boss wants to do something else with her.

Andy Garcia guest stars as Angie's brother Ray, a con artist who reappears after five years. Could it have something to do with the fact that his daughter, Veronica, inherited millions? As it happens, Ray wants to help his daughter with her business venture.

Ernie needs to lose weight or else Mel will fire him, so George plays diet guru. But first he must play psychologist, because Ernie won't admit that he has a problem.

In a crossover episode with "Freddie," Max has struck up an online friendship with Freddie's niece Zoey (Chloe Suazo). George finds out and assumes that "Zoey" is really a pervert. In Chicago, Freddie assumes the same thing about Max.

After belittling Angie's job as a wedding planner, George becomes one himself---taking on an impossibly demanding client whom Angie dumped to show that anything she can do he can do better.

After Benny berates him for not giving her a work prize she thinks she deserved, George dreams (with the aid of a spiked drink) that she's really a warm and caring mother---and that he's a mama's boy. It's anything but a wonderful life.

Ernie tells George that the factory is moving to Mexico and that they'll both be out of jobs; Benny flees when she learns that the police want to question her about a robbery; a nauseated Angie awaits the results of a home-pregnancy test; Carmen is afraid to open her final college letter after three rejections; Max is tempted by beer; and Vic prepares to propose to a young woman he barely knows.
