    10
    When Frasier finds out that Fredrick has the chance to get into a fancy school, Frasier changes his thanksgiving plans and travels to Boston.



    Lilith and Frasier meet with the head of the school, to try and get Fredrick in, but after the interview is over with, they become obsessed with making sure Fredrick is in, that they return numerous times, and are blind to the fact that Fredrick has a black eye, hives, among other things.



    They bring a turkey, that Niles slaved over for hours in a finale attempt, the head gets so annoyed, that he admits Fredrick in, telling Frasier and Lilith that they are not pick him up, or attend any of the schools functions, it doesn’t seem to bother because after they left they said "we're in".



    I loved the scenes between Fredrick and Martin, Martin was trying so hard to spend some time with his grandson, that everything they did went from bad to worse.moreless

  • QUOTES (6)

    • Dr. Campbell:: I'm curious. I've always been a great admirer of Mrs. Meir. How did you meet?
      Lillith:: Oh...well, uh, It's a funny story. Frasier tells it much better than I do.
      Frasier:: Uh, yes..yess, in college days, uh, Lillith spent a summer in a...a kubbutz, and was, uh, dating her grandson, Oscar

    • Lilith: Frasier, if you overanalyse every detail, you will rob us of the joy of the moment. It'll be our wedding night all over again.

      Roz: Then you're not doing it right.

    • Niles: By the way, what time tomorrow are Frederick and Lilith flying in?
