"Pishke Business" is the eighth episode in the second season of the CBS television series The Nanny, which was aired October 31, 1994.
Synopsis[]
Fran poses as Maxwell's business partner to convince a millionaire to invest in his play.
Plot[]
Sylvia and her Canasta group are willing to invest their money in Mr. Sheffield's next play. After C.C. unwittingly strikes high profile investor Charles Haist so she can get a cab, Fran has to pose as Ms. Babcock to get the money. This includes using C.C.'s apartment when Charles goes to pick her up for dinner. Maxwell feels guilty over using Fran like this, and he rushes over to confess to the ruse. The whole plan goes down the drain after Charles tries to get Fran (as Ms. Babcock) to dump Maxwell as her business partner. Maxwell, who had been hiding in the closet, kicks Charles out for being a sleaze and decides to invest in his own play, something he had never done before.

Trivia[]
- When Fran mistakenly thinks C.C. came out to her as gay, she tells her "You know, now you and your special friend can dance together at Disneyland!" This is telling as the show was shot in Los Angeles which is near Disneyland, while it is set in New York which is much closer to Disney World in Florida.
