After scoring a best-seller with her recipe book, Mel's mom Carrie (Martha Raye) purchases the apartment building in which her son resides. Convinced that his existence will be rent-free from here on in, Mel (Vic Tayback) is sorely disappointed when Carrie actually increases his rent by an additional 50 bucks--and then evicts him when he refuses to pony up. This is the final episode of Alice's sixth season. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
