Plot outline

While shopping for a DVD player, Frasier meets an attractive woman called Claire. He soon discovers that she is a friend of Lana, former prom queen of his school whom he dated briefly in the past. Claire confides in him that she is organising a surprise birthday party for Lana, and asks Frasier if he can bring her, pretending it is a friendly date; Frasier agrees, but only to gain access to Claire, whom he finds more appealing. Unfortunately, he does not realise that Lana already has someone in mind to match up with Claire, so once at the party he has to compete for her attention. Lana is also looking for someone to tutor her son in U.S. History.

Episode title cards

*"What women may or may not want"
*"Tuesdays with Frasier"

Cultural references

*When Claire first meets Frasier, she suggests he rent the director's cut of the 1981 German film "Das Boot" ("The Submarine").
*The first title card is a reference to the 2000 film "What Women Want".
*During Roz's secrets game, Martin admits that he cries every time he watches "The Sound of Music", referring to the 1965 film. One of the jokes is that he finds "The Lonely Goatherd" upsetting; this is one of the songs, and a very upbeat one.

Continuity errors

During the opening scene in a technical superstore, Frasier is seen to wear a wedding ring. As the shot changes angle between separately filmed cuts, the ring comes and goes.
