After a small
squabble, Lilith delivers an ultimatum to live-in boyfriend Frasier: marry me
or take a hike. Wondering if there are wild oats left to sow, the boys at the
bar prankishly tell him Rebecca is warm for his form – and so the nebbish
psychiatrist is encouraged enough to leave a break-up note for Lilith. After he
discovers Rebecca doesn’t even know who he is, he races home to intercept the
note, but it’s too late. When Lilith goes to Cheers, she discovers no affair
ever existed, but she still has Frasier go through with the “breakup.” After he
realizes the jig is up, he admits he was nervous to commit, an issue that he
promptly solves with a proposal of marriage – sometime…. soon.
Second marriage
proposal in a row has wedding bells all over this season, and it couldn’t happen
to a cuter couple. But the funniest stuff here involves Frasier’s mistaken
belief that Rebecca wants him – and the ruse Cliff devises to make it look like
she’s licking her lips lustiliy at him is priceless. Subplot material involves
Sam and the others staging tacit acts of rebellion against Rebecca, and his
coaxing of her to loosen up a bit (and maybe go to bed with him). I mentioned a
few posts ago that she shows signs of being less of a heavy; perhaps that
observation was a bit premature.
Cold open: Woody
can’t quite see the pretty obvious signs that an apartment he wants is located in
Chinatown.
