... even 11 years after she left him at the altar after the priest came to her part of the vows and she asked "Are you speaking to me?".
Three years after Frasier has moved to Seattle, his old heartthrob Diane shows up with a new play she is opening in town. She has never gotten the extent of her long term wounds to Frasier, for she is pretty self absorbed.
Initially Frasier invites her to dinner to flaunt his success and how he has moved on in her face, but that old feeling comes lurching back. Meanwhile the scene at dinner at Frasier's apartment is hilarious. You can tell Frasier's relatives have met this woman before and they are not glad that she is back. So Frasier thinks that maybe the two of them are getting close again. Then Diane asks Frasier to take a look at a dry run of her play, and that play tells you just how Diane looks back on her old days at Cheers, with Frasier deserving an Emmy just for his facial expressions as he looks on.
The history with Cheers, the dialogue that is just perfect comic poetry, the whole episode is just perfect. David Angell was one of the writers of this episode, and he had a history with Cheers before Frasier, so he knows these characters. So sad that he was lost on September 11.
If you never watched Cheers or Frasier it is likely this show will not be that funny to you. But if you followed both shows this episode is essential viewing.
