Grandmama's (Blossom Rock) paintings leave an art critic speechless, so Gomez (John Astin) sends for his friend, Sam Picasso (guest star Vito Scotti), to teach Grandmama to paint in the abstract. The starving artist ignores Grandmama's and Morticia's (Carolyn Jones) work as he eats and paints. Meanwhile, the art critic urges Gomez to "throw the bum out."
