Party of Five - Season 1 Episode 14

The siblings are not amused when Charlie announces, without consultation, that Kirsten is moving in, so she's insecure, especially in the squeaking parental bed. Bailey is lured to repay immature lover Jill's 'favor' by shoplifting a return present for her, but gets caught and angrily dismisses Charlie's lecture. Bailey brings Jill along to the family dinner, scolding Charlie's objections absurdly sanctimonious given Kirsten's presence. She proves a welcome mother figure for Claudia, but that makes Julia jealous, leading to an absurd fight over her theoretical conversion to Judaism, inspired by Artie's devout preparations for his bar mitzvah. A diary in mother Salinger's commode inspires Julia to presume an adulterous affair and seek out the suspect, cellist Avery Baltus, her musical recording partner.
