Scene One  Hallway Outside Frasier's Apartment
[SCENE_BREAK]
Roz is standing at the door to Frasier's apartment when the elevator opens and Frasier, Daphne, Niles and Mel get off. We just got back from the funeral. Niles: I was reading about a Trappist monastery in the Amazon that they somehow built into the treetop. Simon: Sorry, love, I need a bit more to go on. Mel and Niles refer to their watches. She kisses Niles and leaves. Martin and Simon enter from the kitchen. Simon and Martin leave. It's the fun of being in love. Frasier: Is it possible that your foot-dragging might have anything to do with some lingering feelings for Daphne? Niles leaves, Daphne enters from her room on the phone. She hugs him and cries on his shoulder. Come on now, it's only a bottle of wine. Daphne: I know about his feelings for me. Uh, did he mention if he was going home? Simon: Doorman. Daphne: Simon! She storms toward him, Frasier grabs her. I need a date! There is a neighbor with a basket of laundry next to them. I don't even know how to begin with him. Martin: Married? Niles and Daphne look at each other a moment and then Niles's cell phone goes off. Frasier and Martin are waiting for the elevator. Couldn't you see that Niles wanted to talk to you? Niles: Actually Daphne, I need to talk to Frasier, too. They hug. Martin opens the door, it is Mel with a bottle of champagne. Daphne comes out of her room behind Niles.

Summary: Frasier, Daphne, Niles, Mel and Martin return from the funeral of Morrie, the doorman of Elliott Bay Towers. Martin bears a final gift from Morrie; a rare bottle of wine. Niles confesses to Frasier that he feels anxious about his relationship with Mel. After Niles denies that he still possesses feelings for Daphne, Frasier urges his brother to seize the moment and move on. Daphne reveals to Frasier that she knows about Niles' seven-year crush on her and she has fallen in love with him. When Niles returns from a retreat, however, he announces that he and Mel are married. Frasier tells Niles that Daphne knows how he feels towards her, and that there is a possibility she shares his feelings. The night before Daphne's wedding to Donny, Niles tells her that he loves her, and they kiss. Daphne then tells Niles that they have made too many commitments to others to back out now. The next morning, Niles sits in the Winnebago, unable to watch Daphne be married. Martin and Frasier join him and prepare to enjoy the rare bottle of wine, only to discover that it is undrinkable. Frasier and Martin leave Niles alone, until Daphne appears in her wedding dress, and asks if he wants to go on a date.
