Michael leaves Tracy and Melissa alone to explore the place for themselves, and they discover that it comes with strings attached -- Princess Georgy of Cilly has already taken up residence, as Tony absent-mindedly loaned it to her, too.

Melissa hates blind dates (and her sister) and doesn't want to commit to an evening with someone she hasn't seen. Tracy and Georgy convince her to make an appointment with Murray, so he can check out her gums... and she can check out him. Melissa finds Murray so attractive that she puts aside her reservations and invites him to the ball, just like Debra wanted. Unfortunately, Murray already has a girlfriend, and is going with her -- and Melissa needs to have a plaque scraping.

Princesses is a short-lived American situation comedy that aired on CBS in 1991. The series was produced by Universal Television and only lasted five episodes because of low ratings, likely due to direct competition from ABC's Top 30 hit Family Matters and NBC's Top 40 show Matlock. The series also aired in Germany on RTL in 2004. The series theme song, "Someday My Prince Will Come" was written by Frank Churchill and Larry Morey, and was sung by The Roches.
