"Maid
in Arlen"
Episode KH718
Original Airdate: 5/18/03
Kahn’s mother, Laoma, comes to visit and while Kahn loves having
her, she drives Minh crazy with her constant criticism. Feeling bored
and unwanted in her son’s home, Laoma begins to bond with Peggy
and becomes the Hill’s housekeeper, as well as Bill’s,
much to Hank’s discomfort, as his privacy is being invaded.
Laoma begins to treat Bobby better than her own granddaughter, Connie,
while Peggy leads a life of leisure – and for a very inexpensive
price. Meanwhile, Kahn is upset that his mother is cleaning house
for the rednecks, but becomes even more distraught after learning
that not only is she cleaning Bill’s house, she has begun an
affair with him.
Kahn is incensed that she would shame him like this, so he breaks
them up by reminding Bill that he wants a family, and with Laoma he
will never have kids. However, when a distraught Laoma decides to
move into a retirement home, Kahn realizes that her happiness is important
to him and helps them reunite.
