Big Crane on Campus
To Frasier’s delight, he runs into a gorgeous ex-classmate at Café Nervosa. Lorna “Legs” Linley was out of “Crane the Brain’s” league in high school, but now , she’s a sexy divorcee who listens to his show. Since Lorna wo rks in real estate, Frasier invites her over to appraise his condo.
When she stops by, Frasier admits that the appraisal was really just an excuse to see her. Lorna is flattered and the two go out to dinner. When they return to Frasier’s place, Lorna spends the night. The next morning, Frasier is tickled by the turn of events—until Lorna begins drinking, smoking and screaming at her kids on the phone.
Appalled by Lorna’s uncouth behavior, Frasier is glad to see her leave. Niles comes over to use Frasier’s stove, and when he burns his hand, he can’t help but notice how tenderly Daphne treats his wound. Lorna asks Frasier to accompany her to a banquet at their old school and he agrees, just so he can see the looks on his schoolmates’ faces when he walks in with her. Although Frasier later realizes he’s going with Lorna for selfish reasons, she doesn’t care and forces him to attend the event with her.
