'The Apparent Trap' review, Aug 04, 2005

Reviewer: Jocelyn from London, UK

This is the second time a Lilith episode has been set at Thanksgiving and sees her and Frederick paying a visit to Seattle where Frasier agrees to help her write an article about divorced parents, prompting Freddie to concoct a plan of getting his parents back together again in an attempt to win himself a mini bike. The best laughs comes in the first half with Niles and Lilith's first meeting since they slept together resulting in some hilariously stilted chatter and Martin's foot in mouth moment of describing Lilith as a 'witch' proving highly amusing. The main plot does become a bit drawn out towards the end although Trevor Einhorn gives a fine performance as Freddie carries out his devious scheme. The first script from Dan O'Shannon, it's a good episode that with a few more second half laughs and a stronger ending could have been a great one.
