FRASIER
Adventures In
Paradise
FRASIER
(September 1993 - present) -- season 2, episode 9 --
"Adventures in Paradise" part 2 of 2 Although elected
to a closing credit billing (as is every other guest star), this
guest appearance may have been James Morrison s most
memorable. Riding the wave of a hit new series, this episode
brought back never-before-seen-here, but much-remembered old
favorite from Cheers, Frasiers ex, Lilith. Morrison plays
her new beau and later fiance, Brian Patchett.
The adventure begins when Frasier meets and attempts to romance a
woman he notices in a "Hottest People in Seattle"
magazine article. He succeeds and decides to steal her away for a
romantic weekend in Bora Bora.
Who
could have dreamed that Frasiers ex, Lilith, would choose
the exact same weekend -- indeed the cabana next door -- to steal
away with her new love.
As Frasiers girlfriend loses her towel behind wicker
blinds, Frasier gasps, "Oh my God." Then he hears quite
a different, yet also familiar voice inquire,
"Frasier?" Frasier turns to see his recent ex-wife on
an adjacent balcony -- to which he gasps, "Oh my God!"
Introductions follow.
"Dr. Brian Patchett, Id like you to meet Madeline
Marshall," Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) begins.
"Hello,"
replies Madeline (JoBeth Williams).
"and Dr. Frasier Krane," Lilith continues.
"Youre ex-husband?" Brian questions with a
half-hearted laugh. "Youre making a joke."
"No God is," Lilith responds.
Brian recovers, "Pleasure to meet you."
"Likewise," adds Frasier (Kelsey Grammer).
Lilith goes on, "Brian is a seismologist at MIT."
"Oh, well thats perfect. Brian being a seismologist,
and you having so many faults," Then Frasier observes,
"Lilith, youre laughing."
"I
laugh quite a bit these days, thanks to Brian."
Frasier begins a rivalry, "Madeline is just hilarious. She
also designs her own line of sportswear."
To which Lilith retorts, "Oh, Im sorry. I dont
think Ive ever worn sportswear."
"So how long are you going to stay?" Madeline rallies.
"Until Tuesday."
"Were here til Wednesday," Frasier
counters.
Noting
the mounting tension Brian interjects, "Well this certainly
has the potential to be very awkward. Why dont we diffuse
the situation by getting together for cocktails later?"
The foursome agree to this course, but Frasier is unable to keep
his mind off Lilith. His obsessing finally destroys his last
chance with his new love, but, on the bright side, he and Lilith
later form a meaningful reconciliation.
