As Frasier and Martin leave, Donny emerges from the bedroom and is about to go out the front door to his car to retrieve something, but Niles pushes him out the back instead so he doesn't run into Frasier and Martin. DAPHNE COMES BACK AND
TAKES DONNY BY THE ARM. Donny tosses Niles a set of keys which prove to be the keys to Shady Glen, Maris's lakefront cottage which Donny has acquired for Niles in the settlement. Donny: (hopefully) Really? Frasier is barely out the door when Daphne reappears and Niles is offering to drive her up to the cottage on Friday night. He jokily hits her back. He must be up there. Niles starts to introduce them, but "That's right, you two already know each other!" Roz: Well, you got a point there! Roz: You're kidding! They leave. You two used to date, didn't you? [SCENE_BREAK]
