Anne: Ooh, I've heard your show. Anne: [accepting] Okay, then. They sit back comfortably into silence but after another jolt of turbulence...
Frasier: So I was dating this woman...
Anne: Mmm-hmm...
[SCENE_BREAK]
Scene Two - Frasier's Bedroom The scene takes us back with Frasier's story. Frasier and Charlotte are wrapped in each other's arms in his bed. Frasier: Well, my show doesn't start till two, and it's only...
Frasier looks at the clock to see how many more Frasier hours Charlotte will be able to clock up. An obvious reference to [10.2] "Enemy at the Gate," when an overconfident Roz took over Frasier's show, and ended up letting slip over the air that she and Frasier had slept together.] CUT TO: Frasier's Bedroom Meanwhile, back in the bedroom... Charlotte is listening to Kenny's ramblings as Frasier dresses in the bathroom. Frasier: I'm sorry I have to rush off. He is sat with his feet on the console, and the microphone in his hands. Kenny: Isn't that a great song, people? Bebe smiles as she shuts the door on him, and then in a heartbeat turns to Frasier and says:
Bebe: Good news, I'm busting you out of this hellhole! Mark Reisman is a reference to a man of the same name who previously worked on "Frasier" as a producer.] Bebe: Darling, it's San Francisco! You were in San Francisco last week. Frasier: Yes, well, Charlotte is leaving for Chicago in three hours. I want to get back behind the mike. You always believed in me, Doc! Martin: Ronee! Daphne goes for the powder room door. Martin, Niles, and Ronee, to Frasier's great frustration, sit down to wait for Daphne. [hugs him] And Stephen! [hand shakes occur] Oh and his brother, Frasier. And this is Martin and his fiancée Ronee. Frasier and Charlotte are finishing up their final game of Scrabble. Frasier: Use it in a sentence. He chuckles. Me too. Well then, uh, good luck in Chicago. Daphne follows them in. Frasier: Do you have any idea what he's saying? Niles: Not a word. He's never kicked like that before. Martin: But we're getting married July 15th. Ronee goes into the kitchen. Frasier: You know, Dad... Niles and I have been wondering what to get you for your wedding, and... maybe we could just give you the wedding. Ronee: But that's in eight days! Martin and Ronee head for the door. They exit, leaving Frasier and Niles. Niles, go make sure they're fitted with their angel wings and give them all a meal voucher! Bebe: Turning down the San Francisco job. Frasier and Niles look at him, surprised. Daphne: Oh yeah, he's a great one for shooting things. Uh, give him some of that pate over there. Niles takes the ring out and lowers it to the basket...
Frasier: Roz, her cue to lead the procession out at the end of the ceremony is when I say, "ladies and gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Crane!" Screams come from the guests outside, and Frasier jumps. Eddie has scarfed the pate and swallowed the ring. He looks up and sees Niles and Daphne's shifty looks.

Summary: While on a plane, Frasier meets a woman named Anne. They engage in conversation and in flashback, Frasier recalls the events preceding his plane ride: Frasier and Niles volunteer to put together a quick wedding for Martin and Ronee when the venue is only available for one day. Meanwhile, Frasier says farewell to Charlotte as she departs for Chicago. The wedding ceremony gets off to a rocky start when the guests are stranded outside in the heat and things get worse when Eddie swallows one of the rings. Daphne and Niles rush him to a nearby veterinarian and while there, Daphne goes into labor and gives birth to her and Niles' first son, whom they name David. Ronee and Martin get married at the vet clinic. Frasier's agent Bebe Glazer gets him an offer to do a television show in San Francisco, which Frasier initially declines but after realizing that he wants to start a new chapter in his life, he accepts. A case of communication breakdowns lead Martin, Ronee, Roz, Daphne and Niles to believe that Frasier is dying, an error given more substantial backing when he begins giving them each some of his most prized possessions, and when a doctor phones and leaves a message saying that Frasier's 'results weren't good.' The misunderstanding is soon cleared up and the family celebrates Frasier's new opportunity in San Francisco. Before he leaves, Frasier and his family share a tearful farewell and Frasier explains to them that with Martin and Ronee newly-weds and Daphne and Niles' newborn, David, and Roz getting the job of station manager at KACL they each have begun a new chapter in their lives and that he wants that for himself now. He then goes on to recite Tennyson's "Ulysses" which flows into him saying it in his last show. Frasier records his last show, with the people who work at KACL and his family watching him, his final words on his talk show are "For eleven years, you have heard me say 'I'm listening'; well you were listening too, and for that I'm eternally grateful...Goodnight Seattle", and hangs up his headphones before the episode flashes back to the plane, where Frasier has just finished relaying his story to Anne. In a final twist, the plane touches down not in San Francisco, but in Chicago. Frasier turns to Anne and says "Wish me luck...", then the episode (and the series) ends, in a perpetual cliffhanger. Episode Note: Niles and Daphne's son was named David in David Angell's honor.
