ACT TWO
Scene One - Frasier's Apartment - The Next Morning
Martin and Daphne are doing their morning ballet, only this time Martin's favorite yellow cereal bowl has broken in the dishwasher and he has to use a different one. Faye greets them and compliments Daphne on her new haircut. Faye, dressed, enters from the bedroom. Frasier greets her with a big hug and Faye tells him she just got back from a month in France. Frasier nervously begs off and tells her that he has a squash game with Niles, so Cassandra starts to leave, only to make a side trip to the powder room. Frasier: Good morning, all. He is about to flip the coin when he notices Martin and Daphne looking at him waiting for him to drop it. I had no idea. In answer Frasier holds up two coffee cups instead of his usual one, and Martin compliments him on his choice of women. Just then she comes into the cafe, and Niles makes himself scarce. Niles is trying to understand Frasier's logic in spending the night with Faye, and Frasier explains that his conversation with Faye had just led him to understand that he and Faye had a deeper connection than with Cassandra. Scene Two - Café Nervosa. The decision cannot be made that simply. Then when Daphne shuts the fridge door she is still rubbing her head when Martin throws the toast out of the toaster.

Summary: Frasier announces at breakfast that he had a date the previous evening, and Martin and Daphne immediately offer their sympathies. They change their tune when Cassandra appears from the bedroom. Martin takes a shine to her when she greets him with a hug and compliments him on his eyes; she barely acknowledges Daphne, and then forgets her name. Niles arrives to play squash with Frasier, and has to cancel when he learns about the date. Frasier has good feelings about this new relationship, until he runs into Faye at Café Nervosa . She has been in Paris for a month, and has no idea that Frasier has a new girlfriend, and he finds himself unable to tell her. She is still with him the next morning, so the rest of the family realise that he is dating two women. Frasier soon comes to the decision that he cannot juggle two women, and must choose between them. Martin advocates choosing Cassandra; Daphne prefers Faye, who noticed and admired her new haircut. Niles turns up, and discovers he has to re-schedule the squash game again, but he has a trick for compelling Frasier to make his choice. Unfortunately, even when the choice is made, Frasier still has to end one relationship, and this proves more difficult than he expected.
