Grumpy housekeeper Berta's airhead daughter Cheryl Ann needs a babysitter for her daughter, so Charlie allows Berta to bring her along. Alas, at 16 Prudence is barely Jake's equal mentally, but physically she is more than any Harper handles easily. Even Charlie needs a pretend girlfriend, a part Rose enjoys, groping and kissing her "monkey-man." Prudence makes rebuking Judith's complaints that Charlie has a bad influence on Jake much harder. That night Prudence returns to the Harpers' seeking a place to crash--but not alone.
