Agent, samaritan... elf. Bebe Glazer approaches. Ben: Good. Do you have any club soda? Don't put that flask away! Frasier and Ben stand, Ben leaves to get his coat, Frasier walks over to where Bebe is standing beside the counter and Roz is sitting at the closest table. Frasier: Niles! Frasier: The one with the thing on her face? He has his hand on her shoulder and is holding the plate up to catch crumbs. Martin: That's a coincidence. Niles has just closed his cell phone and is now rushing out the door. Niles: Frasier, I'm sorry to trouble you about this, but could you recommend another couples' therapist? Niles: Hi. Niles: [walking toward Martin's chair as Frasier goes to his bookshelves] You must excuse my jolly mood, but Maris was over tonight for our weekly conjugal visit. Well, I'm not going to do it. [hopefully] So you've got some sort of damage-control plan?
Plan: A: Frasier; Q: Who insists that both he and Niles do the ethical thing? A: Bebe Glazer; Q: Who was Frasier's former agent? A: , well-meaning but non-confrontational Ben. Maris' insistence; Q: Who is Frasier's current agent? A: their latest couples' therapist; Q: What did Maris want Niles to fire? A: their weekly conjugal visits; Q: What did Niles and Maris put on hold? A: the wrong sort; Q: What kind of publicity does Ben bring to Frasier? A: publicity; Q: What does Ben bring Frasier that is not good for him? A: trouble; Q: What does Niles have with controlling his pent-up urges? A: sex; Q: What is Niles trying to get out of his counseling sessions? Summary: Frasier has to choose whether to return to his heartless former agent, Bebe Glazer, or stick with his current representative, well-meaning but non-confrontational Ben. Maris' insistence that Niles fire their latest couples' therapist, and Niles' refusal to do so, put their weekly conjugal visits on hiatus. Ben brings Frasier the wrong sort of publicity and Niles has trouble controlling his pent-up urges, but Frasier insists that both he and Niles do the ethical thing: Frasier must stay with his ethical agent, and Niles must not fire a perfectly good counselor just to have sex.
