Episode #305 "Daycare"

Floyd Norton, Russell's father, has started working with Russell at the pharmacy and is driving Russell crazy. Grace desperately needs a new babysitter for Patrick, and the only daycare center she can afford won't accept him because he isn't toilet trained. When no prospects work out, including Jimmy's mother Jean who wants to toilet train Patrick by force, Grace pleads her case for company-sponsored daycare, first to an unresponsive John Shirley and then, armed with a petition, to Rick Bradshaw, who says that the company can't afford it and, since he's dating Grace, it could be perceived as favoritism. Russell is dismayed to learn that Janet, a woman he's been dating, went out with his father first. Rick finally agrees to establish a daycare center, but Grace is frustrated to learn that it won't be operative for another six months and, unhappily, she has to force Patrick into toilet training.
