HOW'S SHE GONNA ANSWER THAT PHONE?

WHEN SHE TRIES TO LEAVE THE FAMILY:
Alice tells Mr. and Mrs. Brady she needs to leave the family to go take care of her sick aunt in Seattle.
Though she's eventually caught in her lie:
Alice: I'll plan to leave tomorrow night. Take the plane south.
Mr. Brady: South? To Seattle?
Alice: Oh. Well. That's the way that the planes go. I mean, they head south when they take off, before they turn around and go north.

AND HER CAMEO IN THE 1995 "BRADY BUNCH" MOVIE:
In the movie, Jan runs away from home and Davis plays a truck driver who her up. She tells the hitchhiker:
"I can't help thinking 'what might have been if I married young – had a family, three boys, three girls.' Then a little voice says 'are you kidding, they'd probably just treat you like a maid!'"

Redskins Quarterback Helps Girl Ask Special Student to Prom
In today's edition of the "Good Stuff," Redskins Quarterback RGIII surprises a boy with cerebral palsy. CNN's Chris Cuomo reports.
Morgan Assel is a student at Centreville High School in Virginia.
She wanted to ask her friend, seventeen-year-old Juwaan Espinal, to prom.
But Assel wanted to make the experience extra special for Espinal, who is non-verbal due to cerebral palsy.
The girl recruited Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, known as RGIII, to come to the school and meet Espinal and pop the question.
"I'm just really excited and really grateful that RGIII came to help Juwaan," Assel said.
"It just really means a lot that people are willing to do this for him because he is such a special person and he really deserves it.”
