Enter Beth Bailey, Suzannah's newly hired assistant, a gregarious highly motivated daughter of the South. Beth explodes into the Hayden household and whips it into an organized, well run machine.

Their efforts to stop Beth at any costs sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry!
