Felicity Huffman returns - oh joy.
I get what they were trying to do with her character of Julia, but a) we've seen that type of woman brought in to potentially be a love interest for Frasier before, and b) they made her so tough and annoying at the start that any attempts (and they do try here) to soften her come across as false.
Despite the annoying Julia's involvement, this is a decent episode of the show, and offers some nice moments.
By the lower standards that 'Frasier' operates from Series eight onwards this is a decent affair, and is one that I probably wouldn't skip if I were to go back through the show again.
