Synopsis[]

FRASIER "DATES" FRIEND'S WIFE PLAYED BY GUEST STAR ILLEANA DOUGLAS -- In a comedy of mistaken identity, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) intercedes to save station manager Kenny's (Tom McGowan) marriage by diverting him from a rendezvous that would begin a disastrous affair -- but Frasier doesn't know that Kenny's angry wife (guest star Illeana Douglas, "Action") has caught on and poses as the adulterous tart, prompting the good doctor to innocently begin dating her. Elsewhere: Daphne (Jane Leeves) continues to gorge on everything in sight, so Niles (David Hyde Pierce) puts her on a diet, unaware that she's stashed goodies in every nook and cranny; and Roz (Peri Gilpin) tries a new perfume that's guaranteed to have men swarming around her.
