Frasier notices this and is shocked by how it relates to his problem. Frasier: Marta! Frasier: Niles! Frasier: Oh, he asked me if I thought he and Maris were meant to be together. Frasier: Oh, not with you. I just made that date this morning, he must be really champing at the bit to get an answer to that question. Maris has changed. Marta sits with Frasier. Niles: Please. Niles: Well, someone certainly has a high opinion of his opinion! Niles: Who's there? Roz: Who are you waving to? Tell him what he wants to hear. The apartment is empty except for Daphne who puts a gift bag on Martin's chair and then sits at the table. The camera pulls back to reveal he's talking to Eddie.

Summary: Niles asks Frasier's opinion on whether he and Maris are meant to be together. Frasier evades the question, and while Niles continues to wait for an answer after the meeting, Frasier is plagued by indecision. He talks to Roz, who encourages him to support his brother; he talks to Martin, who says he should not underestimate how much Niles values his opinion; he talks to Marta the maid, who claims that Maris has changed; and he talks to Daphne, who warns him that Marta may just want Niles back. Frasier even lets the problem interfere with a date that he has, with disastrous consequences.
