Summary When Tracy applies for a promotion at work, Charlotte warns that the money she'll make won't be nearly enough to get the nanny she's always dreamed of. So she's forced to consider relying on her mom for help. The only problem is that Tracy has no faith in Celia's ability to raise children. And after Tracy decides to have an honest talk with her, she encourages her mom to find a job. Only she never expected that Celia would apply for one in her office. Realizing that having Celia at work would be the worst thing that could happen to their already strained relationship, Charlotte insists that Tracy has to be the one to do something about it. But rather than confront her, Tracy asks the Human Resources department for help denying her mom the job. However, after seeing how hard Celia is taking her rejection, Tracy gives in and admits responsibility. As a result of Tracy's meddling, Celia won't have anything to do with her. Despite the fact that it's made her life far less complicated, Tracy cannot live with what she's done and tracks Celia down at Ernie's house to apologize. And following another round of honesty, Tracy concludes that each generation makes a little progress toward being better parents.
