Synopsis by Hal Erickson
George (Sherman Hemsley) and Louise (Isabel Sanford) are too absorbed in a card game to pay attention to Mother Jefferson (Zara Cully). Determined to regain the spotlight, Mother Jefferson fakes a fall. Once she is bedridden with a "bad back," Mother Jefferson smugly allows Louise to wait on her hand and foot -- an old sitcom plot, here given a few delightful twists.
