Frasier Online Episode Guide -> Season 11 -> Episode 11.19

Miss Right Now

Ronee's mother is coming to visit, so Ronee and Martin have to cover up the fact that they're sleeping together as she's certain to voice her disapproval if she finds out. Martin also has to contend with the fact that Ronee's mother vividly remembers him comforting Ronee when she was babysitting for him, which she mistook as Martin trying to "take her virtue". Frasier, meanwhile, still can't get Charlotte out of his mind but as she already has a boyfriend, finds himself seeking Roz's advice. She persuades him to join her as she visit's one of the city's many bars and try and meet someone as that might take Frasier's mind of Charlotte. Frasier ends up getting friendly with a woman named Kim, and then end up going back to Frasier's apartment.

However, just as Frasier and Kim are starting to get intimate, Martin, Ronee and her mother arrive home unexpectedly - to be greeted by the sight of a half naked Frasier with whipped cream adorning his body! Ronee's mother is appalled and the three of them hurridly leave for a coffee shop, but just as Frasier and Kim are recapturing the mood, the doorbell goes again. This time it's Charlotte, who's cut short her camping trip with Frank and has come by to pick up the key to her apartment, but Frasier insists she come in and clean up. Kim works out that she's "the one", and the two go their separate ways, after which Charlotte relates to Frasier how she and Frank had a huge argument, and she came home. Martin, Ronee and her mother arrive back at Frasier's, and Ronee's mother is even more appalled to see Frasier with yet another woman - and asks for Ronee to take her home. Ronee takes the opportunity to let her mother know she's sleeping with Martin, and sends her mother on her way! Charlotte decides to leave too, telling Frasier that she phoned Frank and he's on his way home to patch things up. After she's gone, Frasier confides in Martin that Charlotte wants someone else - but that he's going to fight for her. Meanwhile, Daphne begins to despair when Niles develops a taste for fast food from Burger, Burger, Burger.

- Ronee begins to take pleasure in the consequences from soon being married to Martin:
Ronee: It won't be long till I'm your Mom!

- Martin tries to make Ronee's mother feel welcome:
Martin: Why don't I give you a tour - we can start in the kitchen.
[Martin puts his hand on her shoulder to lead the way]
Mrs Lawrence: Still all hands I see!

- Niles is telling Daphne and Frasier just how good the food is at Burger, Burger, Burger:
Daphne: I guess he's got the fast food bug.
Frasier: Which one would that be - E. coli ?!

- Roz tries to convince Frasier to join her at a bar to try and get over Charlotte:
Roz: You're one of the most eligible batchelors in town - in your age range!

- Frasier is expecting Kim and hears his doorbell sound:
Frasier: It's unlocked.
[Niles and Daphne open the door]
Niles: It's unsafe!

- Niles is raving about the Big Double Juicy from Burger, Burger, Burger:
Niles: Where has this food been all my life?
Frasier: On the end of a coroners artery scraper!

- Niles and Daphne meet Kim once she arrives:
Niles: I see I have my Big Double Juicy and you have yours!!

- In one night, Kim has met Niles, Daphne, Martin, Ronee and her mother before meeting Charlotte:
Kim: I've met more people in this apartment than I did at the bar!

'Frasier' (and 'Cheers') writing stalwarts Ken Levine and David Isaacs pen this above average episode which develops the Frasier-Charlotte relationship a little further via an amusing cameo from Jennifer Tilly as Kim, the woman he meets at a bar. The way she intoned and said "hello" to people was just hilarious (hard to explain in words why - it just was), and I loved her line about meeting more people in Frasier's apartment than at the bar. The exchanges between Frasier and Charlotte towards the end as leading to Charlotte and Frank making up after Charlotte misreads Frasier's advice about relationships was quite sad, yet moving - and it was great to see Frasier want to fight for her. Ronee's mother was a hoot too, as was Niles' new found obsession with fast food even if this particular sub-plot felt a bit out of a character.
