001 [1.01-84] Pilot Episode / Tony haelt Einzug

    Tony leaves Brooklyn to start his new job as a housekeeper at Angela
    Bower's in Fairfield, Conn. The deal was made by Mona - Angela's mom -
    and Angela isn't very delighted about the fact that a man now should
    run her household, even less after a little incident during the first
    night.

    include her private room into his cleaning plan and for the first
    time Tony notices that she has her own bathroom with a tub in it.
    Taking a foam bath is sort of a dream of Tony's: so before going on
    that date he prepares to take a bath. Encouraged by Mona and since
    Angela is not expected to return early, he unsuspectingly enters her
    bathroom. But Angela is just finishing her bath there ...

003 [1.03-84] Angela's First Fight / Angela steigt in den Ring

    At school, Sam and Jonathan get into a little fight. Angela is less
    than pleased about this, her solution to these kind of problems is
    simple 'getting space between the parties' and not a fist fight. A
    bothered Sam kind of agrees and puts some space between her and
    'not-my-mom' Angela - which means a trip home to Brooklyn. And
    Jonathan decides to go with her.

    the double standard practiced by Jason's parents makes Angela - at

    to task, the client even seems to be aware of these side effects. To
    keep Angela and Tony on his side he offers Angela a new account and
    Tony gets the convertible he has always dreamed of. Mona, however,
    doesn't want to see them selling out and urge them to go the only
    right way ...

    Tony has his eyes on a woman he has met at the supermarket. He
    finally approaches her and introduces himself. In the course of
    this she believes that he owns the house as well as the Jaguar.
    Such a misleading doesn't sit well with Angela, who later uses
    the same tactics nevertheless: she doesn't correct a man's
    impression that she's just a secretary. The gaming finally may
    cost both the partner.

    Micelli, as well as organizes tickets for big games) also draws Tony

    and how not-so-serious Jeffrey takes it, he stands right between his
    buddy and Angela.
