All I could make out was that he was wearing a red bow tie. Donny: Oh. Frasier: Niles knows about this? Frasier: Obviously there's some psychological reason that she's having second thoughts. He asked if anyone had a reason why we shouldn't wed and that's when this... well, this person stood up and said that he did. He tells Frasier he and Hank were watching the security monitor and saw Donny buying an engagement ring. He tries to be casual, but Frasier caustically informs him that he and Martin have already heard about Daphne's vision and his advice, and Frasier is astonished at Niles's lack of integrity. However when the door opens it is Daphne. It's got nothing to do with an apparition in a red bow tie. Martin and Niles stand in silence for a moment. Martin blurts out her news and Daphne is forced to reveal that she's had a vision. Martin: [surprised] A dragon? Niles gently hurries her along until she finally says that at the part of the ceremony where the vicar asks if anyone objects to the marriage, a man stands up and says he is the true love of her life. Niles thinks she's just being shy, but she cautions him not to laugh at her -- she's seen the man in a psychic vision. Niles: Hear what from Daphne? Niles: Not at all. Perhaps her visions are really produced by fear of commitment and she would be breaking up with Donny for the wrong reasons. Roz protests. The same man is in this one, only this time he has a dragon. They head him off, and Frasier is about to tell him when Martin jumps in with a story that Daphne's mother is dying.

Summary: Martin has news for Frasier: he has just seen Donny buying an engagement ring . They first plan to keep this from Daphne, but she walks in halfway through their conversation. When she hears the news, she is thrilled and excited. Martin and Frasier then plan not to tell Niles, but again he walks in at the wrong moment, and after initially pretending that Daphne's mother is dying, the real story comes out and Niles is crushed. Soon after this, Daphne visits Niles unexpectedly at his office, and asks for advice. She tells him that she had a psychic vision in which a mysterious figure in a red bow tie appeared at her wedding, and said he was "the true love of her life". Niles betrays his professional integrity and advises her not to marry Donny. Frasier, when he hears about this later, reckons that psychologically the vision means she is having second thoughts. Additionally, of course, he knows exactly why Niles gave the advice he did, and loses patience with his brother when he arrives a few moments later wearing a red bow tie. Later that evening, Daphne decides to go through with marrying Donny, claiming that perhaps her visions are false. She suddenly has another, however, and this one contains her true love holding a dragon . Martin laughs, and Daphne agrees that it is probably false. Back at home, however, Niles opens a present that Roz had offered him earlier. It contains a dragon statue.
