In Season Five, Fran Fine is fully ensconced as the comedic caregiver to the Sheffield children. But her "Will they or won't they?" romance with dreamy Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield just might lead to a big promotion—from babysitter to bride! Will the producer pop the question? Will the nanny tie the knot?
