Francie shows up at the Findlay home making up a story about being beaten by her father, she really wants to run off with her boyfriend Hinkley.
The final show of Season 2 and one of the best. Maude falls for Francie's story right away ("You mean he went upside your head?"). Maude is willing to give Francie money to run away but Walter objects. They find out Francie and Hinkley are running away to start a rock and roll career. In the funniest scene they sing a version of "Yankee Doodle" with Hinkley playing spoons! Francie's father shows up and they find out he does not beat her. It ends with a funny and touching scene at the end. This is the last appearance of Francie which is too bad since she was in two of the best episodes.
