ACT ONE
Scene One - Café Nervosa Frasier and Roz are seated at a table. But Niles...! Curious, he unwraps the packet and sees the brownie. Daphne: [still smiling] He's a Goth now. Frasier has given up trying to understand this jargon. Frasier: And exactly which of your connections in the Seattle demimonde is going to get you this reefer? Frasier: Dad, when you were at the café today, you didn't eat a brownie that Roz brought for Niles, did you? Frasier: It is not goth! Frasier: There he is... Freddie: That is so goth. He begins to explain that he made no such order, when Martin rushes out in his underwear, claims the stack, and runs back to his room, leaving Frasier to pay the bill. He holds out the chip, Niles recoils. He leaves, as Martin hesitantly rises, still staring at Eddie. He looks through the peephole and is irritated to see a pizza delivery man. He opens the door to Andi - a girl decked out exactly the same as he is - but for her long hair, it's difficult to see any difference in gender. He takes out the remainder of the "pot brownie," and eats another small piece. How did you rebel? I wrote some of them down. It is illegal. It's been a hell of a Christmas. Martin is adding some finishing touches, when Frasier comes in, with Eddie on a leash. Martin: Eddie in a commercial? Natalie: Sure. Natalie: You know, maybe he should be in the spot with you. Niles re-wraps the brownie and is about to put it in his pocket, but then hears his car alarm go off. Niles sits with Frasier, obviously impressed. Niles: Is Frederick still spending all his time with his little ghoul-friend? Niles: Well, I was going to say. Niles: [proudly] I'm getting high on reefer. Of course, Niles doesn't believe even a stoned person would go for those, but Martin opens the bag and dips a chip in the pudding. Roz: Oh, come on, Frasier, just give it to Niles. She tries to hand it to him, he pushes her away. That knife is as sharp as a machete. That was a pot brownie! The elevator opens behind Frasier's back, and there is Frederick: he is dressed head-to-toe in black leather and denim, his hair is dyed black, and his face is paler than Lilith's, except for his eyes and lips, which are alsoblackened. They sit. They stare after him, perplexed. Uh, Natalie Blanc of the Seattle Tourism Board. Well, I can't wait, I got a date. You know, just when you worried that he's on the brink of terrible teendom, there he is, still just a little boy who wants to play in the elevator. You're stoned off your ass! [chuckles bitterly] I decided to take a little walk. [exits] Do that for him, will you, Dad?

Frasier has been asked to act in a commercial for the Seattle Tourist Board, and is more than a little interested in Natalie who is arranging it. He meets her in Café Nervosa, but she also meets Martin and Eddie, and seeing how cute Eddie is, decides that he should be in the video as well - much to Frasier's chagrin . He hopes the arrival of his son Frederick will cheer him up, but when he sees he is now a goth , complete with new goth girlfriend Andi, and wants to spend all his time with her, Frasier is left a little shocked and somewhat downhearted. Niles sees Frederick's goth choice as a phase and typical of a teenage rebellion , prompting a discussion of what everyone did to rebel as a teenager, with Martin pointing out that Niles had never rebelled (even though in season 1 it is stated he was arrested for mooning president Nixon). This leads Niles to take some drastic action: he is "going to get high on reefer !". Frasier questions where he is going to get hold of some - answered when Roz delivers Niles a " pot brownie ". Niles' car alarm goes off at that point, and neither Frasier or Roz can stay so Roz gives the brownies to Martin who is just arriving in the Café. He tries to stop himself eating them, as he is trying to cut down on junk food , but can't help himself. Of course, he does not know they are laced with cannabis, but having eaten it, buys a normal one to make sure Niles doesn't know he has eaten the one destined for him. Niles, therefore, is none the wiser and eats his normal brownie still under the impression he will get high, while Frasier cannot believe his eyes when he finally sees the advert for the Seattle Tourist board - they have made Eddie the star with Frasier narrating what Eddie is saying. Undaunted, he leaves to go out on a date with Natalie after Niles arrives "high" on his pot brownie. Martin arrives soon after, and Niles believes that the crazy way his father begins acting is just the pot kicking in. It takes a sober Frasier to point out that it's their father that is high, claiming to Martin "You're stoned off your ass!", which leaves Niles somewhat deflated until his brother points out that he did get their cop father high. Meanwhile, Frasier is a bit depressed as his date (Natalie) left him midway through the date to meet another man. Freddie also experiences the same thing and the similarity in incidents help father and son to bond again.
