Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBebe Neuwirth returns as Lillith !!
- GoofsAs a multi-camera sitcom there are numerous continuity issues in most episodes, and here the position of hands and faces is frequently inconsistent when shown on reverse shots.
However, the biggest example occurs around the 13 minute mark, when Freddie is talking to Kara (Stefanie Yunger). Kara is leaning back on a game machine, her arms behind her, before cutting to a front shot with her arms in front of her, folded. (Although her arms are partially obscured on the reverse shot, her body language makes it clear that they are still behind her.)
- Quotes
Dr. Frasier Crane: If you're here, then who's minding the children you've lured to your gingerbread house?
- Crazy creditsThe character played by Stefanie Yunger is given the name "Kara" in the end credits, but isn't referred to by her name in the episode.

Featured review
Damn Near Perfect Return of Dr. Lilith Sternin
Bebe Neuwirth played herself on an episode of Will and Grace right after Frasier ended. She said regarding Lilith Sternin, "I wanted to play that frosty bi*ch forever." 37 years after she first played the character, Neuwirth shows she can do it.
Frasier runs into Lilith having lunch with Freddy and their rekindled rivalry heats up immediately, as they try to outdo each other for Freddy's birthday party. The bulk of the episode takes place at the birthday party which takes place at a bowling alley. Here, not only are Frasier and Lilith hilarious, but the rest of the cast shines as well, most notably Nicholas Lyndhurst with his obsession with getting Lilith to remember him from their wedding.
In a well-timed bit of continuity, this episode was released two weeks after the 34th anniversary of the the airing of the Cheers episode that featured Freddy's birth, and in continuity with his appearance in final season of Frasier (1993), Freddy's Goth phase is mentioned.
I have been impressed with how well the cast and crew of Frasier (2023) have recaptured the feel of the original series. From the signature misunderstanding-based humor to the witty intertitles to characters' vitriolic chemistry, they have recreated the feel so much better than most other reboot/revivals. Neuwirth's performance does not disappoint. We are lucky that she got to play that "frosty bi*ch" again after all.
