Frasier's old friend from Boston, Woody, visits. The two have a great time reminiscing but as the week goes on, Frasier realizes they have nothing in common... and Woody won't leave.
Frasier is forced to feign Judaism when his girlfriend's Jewish mother visits. The charade is compounded by the apartment's holiday decor and Niles' participation in a Christmas pageant.
Niles hosts a party at Maris' beach house in the hopes of winning his dinner club's prestigious 'Golden Apron' award. Niles panics when he discovers a very pungent--and very dead--seal on the beach.
