Synopsis

Francine comes to an understanding of herself and why she felt so threatened by Katchoo’s paintings. Casey wants to be loved and needed by someone so much that she throws herself at David, then Katchoo. David gets a phone call informing him he’s "Bill Gates rich", and its too much for him. As he and Katchoo cuddle and talk about it in another room, Casey thinks they’re having sex and decides to join them. Just then, Francine walks back into the apartment.
