Chrissy gets a phone call from her mother saying that she will be there shortly to visit. Chrissy is afraid of what her mother will think when she finds out she is living with a guy, so she tells Janet and Jack to go down to the local pub, the Regal Beagle, and kill time untill her mother leaves. Chrissy's mother thinks there is an extra bed since the old roomate Elenore doesn't live there anymore, so she decides to spend the night. Janet and Chrissy then have to sneak Jack into their room so Chrissy's mother doesn't see Jack. In the middle of the night, there is a storm and neither of the girls can close the window, so Jack goes out to try to close it. Just then Chrissy's mother comes out of the room, Jack jumps out the window to avoid being seen. Chrissy's mother sees the open window and goes over to close it with ease. Jack gives up trying to hide, and knocks on the door to get back inside. Janet and Chrissy try to come up with an excuse to why he is there, but then Jack goes right out and says he's living there. Chrissy's mother is delighted that her daughter has a man around to keep her safe.
