The eponymous heroine of this gentle US comedy is a cute toddler with an unlucky start in life. Her serial killer mom was sent to the electric chair, leaving her in the hands of her well-intentioned but immature dad, Jimmy. Even more unluckily, help is on hand: the equally hapless extended family.
In this episode, Jimmy happens upon a home video of his 13-year-old self crooning over a piano like a juvenile Sinatra. He’s astonished; granny and grandpa study the floor, guiltily. Cue a typically bonkers flashback and even loopier plan as Jimmy tries to his recover his forgotten talents - with cacophonous results.
