When Do The Nanny And Maxwell Start Dating

Alright, buckle up, because we're diving into the age-old question: When do Fran Fine and Mr. Sheffield officially go from bickering boss and nanny to a full-blown, head-over-heels couple? It's a journey, folks, a slow burn that keeps us all on the edge of our seats!

Trying to pinpoint the exact moment is like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands. It's elusive! But that's part of the charm, right?

The Hints Are Everywhere!

Think about all those early episodes filled with simmering tension. It's like they're both perpetually stuck in the "will they, won't they" zone. Imagine someone dangling your favorite dessert just out of reach – frustrating, but oh-so-tempting!

From stolen glances to awkward silences, the signs are there from the start. It’s like trying to ignore a giant neon sign flashing "LOVE CONNECTION" – practically impossible!

The "Jealousy" Factor

One HUGE indicator that things are brewing is the jealousy. Remember when Mr. Sheffield gets a little green-eyed when Fran dates someone? Or when Fran throws a fit when he's seeing another woman? Classic signs of burgeoning feelings!

It’s like when your friend starts getting territorial over your shared pizza. You know something's up! Jealousy is the spice of (potential) romance.

The Almost-Kisses and Close Calls

Oh, the near misses! The almost-kisses that leave you screaming at the TV! It’s like watching a romantic comedy marathon, but it unfolds over seasons. Think of it as an emotional rollercoaster.

These moments are crucial because they build the anticipation and make the eventual payoff even sweeter.

The Big Moment: Season 3 Finale

Many fans point to the season 3 finale, "Pen Pal," as a pivotal moment. Mr. Sheffield FINALLY admits he cares deeply for Fran, and they share a (almost) kiss. This is a HUGE turning point!

The floodgates are starting to open. But they're not *officially* dating at this point, though, so we have more build up to go!

Season 4: The False Starts and Complications

Season 4 throws us a few curveballs. False starts, misunderstandings, you name it. Just when we think they're about to get together, something always seems to get in the way.

It's like trying to assemble furniture without the instructions - frustrating! But it makes the ultimate success even more rewarding.

The Real Deal: Season 5

Okay, here we go! Season 5 is where the magic really happens. After a few more ups and downs, Maxwell proposes to Fran in Paris!

The wedding and subsequent marriage happen in season 5 as well. Cue the confetti! They officially become a couple and start the journey of married life.

So, while hints of romance were there from the beginning, Season 5 is truly when Fran and Mr. Sheffield officially become an item. It was a long time coming but so worth it.
