Then Niles gives Frasier an early birthday present. His new girlfriend Allison, who lives in Elliot Bay Towers floor 14, is a member of the Safari Club, a very exclusive club - and she's going to get the brothers Crane membership!!!

On Frasier's birthday he and Niles go to Allison's, but after 10 minutes Tricia 'phones. She's going to Spokane for a month and wants to have a drink with him first. He agrees to meet her and tells Allison he's ill and is going upstairs. She tells him to come back when he's ready. Frasier goes up to his apartment to get his keys. To his horror, Martin has arranged a surprise party for Frasier and all his friends are there!!!

So now Frasier has to be in 3 places at once - his party, Allison's party and with Tricia. How can he get round this? Niles too has a problem - Allison is married.....
