This episode takes a fairly well-worn sitcom premise and makes it thoroughly enjoyable through clever, somewhat self-aware writing and great performances by Jack Cutmore-Scott, the guest cast, and especially Kelsey Grammer. Freddy and Frasier are set up on blind dates by Eve, but they don't know whose date the first arrival is. After they both hit it off with her, the father-son rivalry heats up and is made more complicated by two other women who knock on their door.
The B-plot is short, featuring Alan and Olivia viewing a horrible play that Eve is in. It is a short and simple plot that is made more enjoyable by Nicholas Lyndhurst's reactions. Fortunately, the main plot carries the day here.
Freddy and Frasier show a bit of a genre-savvy self-awareness when referring back to Frasier's previous antics. Frasier's remark as the dates end is also a subtle call back to his punch line at the end of The Ski Lodge, which is widely considered one of the best episodes of the original series. This show took a few episodes to get into the groove, but now I am genuinely looking forward to each new episode every week! I hope they can keep it up!
