Behold, a murder has occurred! A murder most predictable. Our fallen comrade, the TV show Frasier, once arisen from the ashes like a grand phoenix, now slain and resting upon this very floor. But who or what is the culprit? Sir Ryan and Baron Bradley, I call on thee to solve this case. What up, yo? I'm Double B, Baron Bradley! You're not gonna do the Regency voice? Oh. Did he talk like that? In the Regency era? Okay. Like 1970s rappers? No. Yo, yo, yo, it's me, the Regency era detective. Good day, sir. This is Baron Brad, your favorite Baron, with your favorite voice? I love that you just get hired. We don't know who you are, Curt. Curt is the friendly ghost. Okay. So, we are all Regency era detectives, and we've been brought here to solve the case of who killed this show Frasier. Who has a suspect? I have a suspect. Hello, hello, it is Baron Brad! Why are you, Dracula? Pennsylvania is in the house, baby.

And since we didn't see that revenge take place in the last episode of this season, that means it's time for the Season 3 Forecast of the Week.

Well, you know, Sharma, Dev Sharma, does promise to get his revenge. And since we didn't see that revenge take place in the last episode of this season, that means it's time for the Season 3 Forecast of the Week. Whoa! Whoa! So, guys, I want to know, Season 3, we know Kelsey Grammer's going to get it back on the air. What will it be revealed is Dev's revenge? He plans his own murder mystery, invites Frasier, Olivia, and Alan, and they get there and there's nobody there. And that's how he gets the revenge. And it's not an actual party and they're all upset because they love murder mysteries. Not a party, just all of their friends together. What a torture. Ryan, you've got to be able to top that, right? He invites them to an olive oil tasting party. Wink, wink. And then it just is an olive oil tasting party. And ooh, what a terrible time. Oh, they think it's code. And it's just not code. It's just olive oil. Olivia gets so excited. She's like, I know what this means. I've done that. I've run this playbook. I can't wait. Both not great. I think the writer's room can do better. So, Kelsey Grammer, if you're out there, why don't you tell us what you're planning in the Season 3 Forecast of the Week?

    By way of goodbye.
