== Synopsis ==
JEAN SMART ('DESIGNING WOMEN') RETURNS IN EMMY WINNING ROLL IN A SPECIAL ONE-HOUR EPISODE -- A sly Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) agrees to secretly escort the temperamental Lana (guest star Jean Smart, "Designing Women," who reprises her Emmy Award-winning role) -- his former high school prom queen -- to her surprise birthday party but his ultimate goal is to spend quality time with her attractive friend (guest star Patricia Clarkson, "Murder One") who is also attending. A comedy of errors occurs when Frasier urges Lana to sing his praises before her lovely friend -- but the lovestruck doctor has set so many people in motion during his quest that their actual date teeters on disaster. Meanwhile, Frasier keeps up his agreement to tutor Lana's clueless teenaged son (guest star Brian Klugman) and a peeved Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and Daphne (Jane Leeves) must disengage from their usual nighttime habits.
