Synopsis[]
Even though Henry Fonda categorically refuses to run for President, Maude persists in campaigning for his election, draining the family's energy and bank account in the process.
Storyline[]
Part 2 and conclusion of two-part story. Maude becomes obsessed with getting Henry Fonda elected president. After Henry Fonda refuses to run for president, Maude's obsession with getting him elected spirals out of control, draining Phillip's tuition fund to fund the campaign, to the ire of both Walter and Carol. Eventually, Fonda sent a letter to Maude asking her to stop using his likeness as part of her campaign or else legal action will take place, despite praising Maude of being "one heck of a lady". Meanwhile, Walter comes to terms with the fact that Maude is a manic depressive and refuses to believe that she has a mental disorder.
