This episode was great. Olivia's older sister, Monica, comes to Boston for a visit and rubs in the fact that she's far better off than Olivia with her husband and their lifestyle. So, when she asks her if she's seeing anyone, Olivia pretends to have a boyfriend but doesn't know who to get and tells Eve who tells Freddy to find her someone good-looking to pose as her bf at a Harvard tailgate party Frasier is giving. So, Monica meets him and is quite impressed. But then, Freddy, also shows up as her bf and Olivia calls them both Marc(k). Monica is understandably confused and decides to ask questions to see which one is better for Olivia. In the meantime, Frasier is trying to find a reclusive Estonian author who's supposed to be at his party also to show him a manuscript and ends up insulting him. The best episode so far this season! Watch it and roll on the floor laughing!

I had assumed that Olivia's sister would become this shows version of Vera and Maris - often heard about but never seen - so it was a surprise that Yvette Nicole Brown pops up playing the character of Monica in the flesh here.
I thought this episode had an awful lot going for it, with it all set to play out like a good old-fashioned 'Frasier' farce.
For me though, it doesn't quite live up to this potential. There are lots of nice moments, but when it becomes people shouting at each other and doing Dick Van Dyke in 'Mary Poppins' style British accents, it lost me a little.
The standard has been high for this second series of the new 'Frasier', and by comparison this one doesn't quite measure up.
