Appearances and Mentions

My Big Fat Mimico Wedding

• Effie Newsome of the Wexford Newsomes is not too well off, but still a Newsome.
• Effie is the Ruth's matron of honor.
• Upon finding Crabtree's lost best-man speech, Effie holds it hostage, saying she'll only return it if George will do a small favour for her: find a set of heirloom pearls. When he refuses, she taunts with, "then I suppose I'll have to tell Ruth about Roger..."

• Effie is representing a cousin of hers, Marty Erskine, who is suing George Crabtree for faulty brake work done on his motorcar that resulted in serious injuries. Because Henry Higgins-Newsome had recently been hired to Bloom and Crabtree Autoshop, Effie is predisposed to place the blame on her new relative.
• Effie later accosts Crabtree while he's grabbing a hot dog, telling him that her client had limited the recompense to medical expenses and car repair. Crabtree takes umbrage at her comments towards Higgins to the point where he refuses a settlement.
• Effie later answers Crabtree's summons to Sally Singers' Dance Hall, apparently agreeing to settle out of court, but not before he offers her a dance inside. They subsequently bump into Marty, who was completely uninjured. As Crabtree excused himself, an upset Effie slaps her cousin and drags him out of the hall.

• Effie Newsome arrives at the Station House on a mission. George asks if it is to sue him again. She informs him that she is on a professional errand as she is srticling for the Crown Attorney. She is tasked to research all files on the enforcement of the Chinese laundry tax. George asks, "What did you do wrong?"
• Nothing, in fact, Effie Newsome has reached the top of her class. "Well, trust a lawyer to work that into the conversation," retorts Constable Crabtree to which Miss Newsome counters with, "Trust a constable to take offence."
• This a plum assignment for her so she intends on doing her best work, give her the records and she assures him that she shall be on her way. Afraid not, Constable Crabtree informs Miss Newsome that the files can not be taken out of the Station House. As a result, they spend some time together at the Station House – sharing George's desk in the end.
