What everyone brought to the table · 12 recorded exchanges
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
We open with a rain cloud over Seattle. Daphne's pregnancy has her irritable, so Niles offers her a spa day. Frazier, unsurprisingly, ignores his radio job to presumably fail a private practice. Response context: You just now have caught up to his first day of private practice. It's really weird watching someone be pregnant in reverse.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
In a show of competence, Frasier cures a woman of her depression by being a creep who she can laugh at with her whole family. Niles barges in like he owns the place, only to bail on lunch with Frasier to eat with his ex-wife. Notable events: Like, that's a punchable moment. You said she's definitely rotund. She got such a kick out of your wild inaccuracy.
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
We get our first title card. I'm listening. And Marty and Frasier advise him to keep it a secret from Daphne. His next patient feels invisible and ignored. Notable events: This is definitely one of Fraser's more punchable moments, though. How did that session end?
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
Well, we're at the coffee shop, and Daphne answers Niles' phone, giving Maris what for. Afraid of how she might react, Niles lies about the lunch. Marty tries to help, but forces Niles to plan a last-minute baby shower.
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
Frazier nobly takes a punch for Niles, who was caught in his lie by Daphne, who runs off. This is a hell of a party to throw for two hour heads up. Loosen your belt and pop the top button. Notable events: Brad, are you a top popper? No, I'm not. It stresses me out.
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
Back at the office, Frazier helps a narcissistic woman who believes all men want her body. He demonstrates that winks and getting half naked can be wholly innocent acts that have nothing to do with her. His mounting successes in work life come to a crashing halt when a patient shows up with problems that mirror Frazier's, which obviously he doesn't know how to solve.
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
Get our final title card. Don't cry for me, Argentina. Daphne returns and makes up with Niles, who promises never to deal with Maris again. For some reason, NPR is on in the other room, revealing Maris's murder plot. Notable events: I was going to sing Don't Cry For Me, Argentina. Evita is the name of the musical. He should have got punched. We could have punched Frazier one last time.

rank: 12; comparisonSetSize: 18 Answer qualification: I put it between match game with Charlotte setting up Frasier. But I thought it was better than Crocktails.

Response context: I meant last week.

8.4 Answer qualification: My biggest fault to the episode is that they misuse the guest stars. And I guess it's weird that they've started a private practice forum this late in the game. I thought it was a great episode. But I liked it a lot.
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
Adjudication: I'm not sure a B minus is below average. Notable events: Once again, you need to get punched.

I do think that this was really a smart way to get to a crazy bonkers silly place. So I would say, yeah, but not in the way I expected.
