"Cousin Raymond" was another remake of an earlier episode, in this case "The Houseguest," again involving someone close to the Evans family hiding a terrible secret. Calvin Lockhart guest stars as Florida's wealthy cousin Raymond Brown, who had been raised by Florida single handed after his mother died. Raymond bears expensive gifts for everybody, his fortune made in good investments. Dinner at a Japanese restaurant ends with Florida learning where Raymond makes his money, gambling at the race track. His ultimate gift to her family is $10,000 and a 3 bedroom apartment, but practically overnight he loses his $80,000 fortune and is forced to start over. It concludes with Raymond repeating the same mistake that Thalmus Rasulala did in the original episode.
