As Martin speaks, the scene DISSOLVES to a flashback sequence:
An unmarked car pulls into the parking lot outside a convenience store. As before, the car pulls into the parking lot. Daphne: [thrilled] Oh my God, tickets to the Billy Joel concert! Everyone starts to leave. Frasier's on his way with the cake. Frasier: But since you're free, Niles, I've got this extra ticket for the throat singing concert! Frasier: Listen, my father's starting a new job this evening. Frasier: So? He wanted to get a drink. I got shot. I said no, but he was thirsty. It has to be special. Martin gets out of the car and walks into the store. Martin: What the hell is throat singing? Niles: Well, the last time you worked, some crazy person pointed a, uh, a, uh... [makes a gun with his hand] you know, at you, and you were almost, uh... [starts shifting in his seat] you ended up in the, uh, the, uh... [starts flicking his ear with his finger] Well, you could've, uh, could've, uh, you could have actually... well, I just - probably you're going to have a lot of issues. Niles: Yes... tickets to the Mongolian Music Festival? Roz: No. Roz: Sure. She smiles and leaves. So who's walking Eddie? The scene DISSOLVES to another flashback:
Scene Three - Diner Earlier that fatal day, Martin and his partner Frank are sat eating lunch. Was that hers? Why do they have those mannequins so damn sexy? [hugs him]
Martin comes out, dressed in a security guard's uniform and carrying a handful of neckties. [she doesn't even answer that one] Well, someone has got to walk this damn dog.

Summary: Martin is about to start a new job as a security guard , and the occasion dredges up memories of the fateful day years ago when he was shot. These memories appear in flashback : while out on patrol with his partner Frank, he pleads with Martin to pull into a convenience store so he could get a slushie. Martin ultimately gives in and pulls into the parking lot of a store that was being robbed. Martin got shot and his shooter got away. Frasier has ordered a special congratulatory cake, which Roz delivers. Meanwhile, Niles has bought Daphne tickets to a Billy Joel concert for that evening, and she has bought him tickets to a festival of Mongolian throat-singing , also for that evening. This means they have to decide which to attend, so Niles offers Frasier the tickets to the throat-singing concert. Martin then points out that someone has to walk Eddie at 10 p.m, so as he prepares to leave for work, the others discuss (and argue) who should do this job. When Roz arrives with the cake, she finds herself drawn into the argument.
