Frasier, The Ann Who Came To Dinner

Niles receives a phone call from a panicked Maris, who asks to meet him for lunch. She asks for advice on how to handle her violent, philandering lover. Niles recommends that she leave him immediately.

Niles is questioned by the police because he loaned Maris the murder weapon, an antique crossbow, for use in a play. Maris insists that she acted in self-defense. She continually calls Niles from jail, leaving Daphne extremely angry.

Lilith comes to town for a one-day conference. She and Frasier try to get together, but keep having to cancel. Lilith discusses her romantic problems with a colleague at Cafe Nervosa before having to return to the conference.

Niles gains notoriety throughout Seattle because of his involvement in Maris's murder case. He and Daphne mingle with the city's social elite (including Bill Gates), and he is able to finagle reservations at booked restaurants.

Frasier is shocked when Frederick comes to visit sporting his new 'goth' look. Meanwhile, realising that he never rebelled in his adolescence, Niles decides to try marijuana, with unexpected results.

Weight loss challenges KACL, enrolled in a pound-shedding contest that pits Frasier against a taunting nemesis who bullied him in high school.

Lawsuit fears plague Frasier over an accident in his kitchen that befell his insurer: a former date named Ann he snubbed. Now, Frasier entreats her to recuperate at his place, where Ann takes full advantage of the situation.

Strange dreams dominate this episode, which finds Frasier wed to Daphne, now a vociferous eater; Niles a carefree philanderer, dallying with bikini-clad repairwomen and Martin a dashing hoofer, performing with Ronee.

Roz is disappointed when she is unable to get Alice tickets to a concert by children's performer Nanny G. After his family reveals that he used to be married to her, Frasier agrees to help Roz secure tickets.

A practical joke backfires, giving Martin a 'mild cardiac event' that he's anxious to keep secret from Ronee, fearing that she'll think he's become 'some feeble old guy'.

Guilty feelings seize Frasier, who, just for a thrill, swipes a medallion from his neighbour, a chatty, trusting widow. Now he sets out to secretly return the object, with the reluctant help of Niles.

Lovelorn Frasier engages a matchmaker, who mismatches him with dinner dates that turn disastrous. Well-meaning Niles hires a kooky helpmate for Daphne's delivery who works with a shaman ...and a drummer.

Martin worries about a visit from Ronee's mother. She dislikes him because she once saw Martin innocently comforting the teenage Ronee and assumed he was trying to 'take her virtue'.

Courting unnerves Frasier, whose wooing of a winsome matchmaker is constantly interrupted by her disarming beau, a dedicated environmentalist who's also quite cosmopolitan.

Country ways test Frasier and Charlotte, who're stranded at a farmhouse with a very odd family that has no idea who he is. Back home, a physical therapist is mistaken for a stripper in a situation that greatly embarrasses Niles.

As Frasier prepares for a dinner party, he considers throwing away an old broken crock pot. However, the crock pot stirs many memories of past experiences with his friends and family.

Both personally and professionally, Frasier's life is about to change forever.

An emotional series finale. Frasier, Niles and Daphne, Martin, and Roz move on to new chapters in their lives.
