TEXT: ACT ONE Scene One - KACL Frasier is doing his show. Frasier: So just remember, when you're standing there, that what you're going through... Kenny enters Roz's booth in a hurry and taps her on the shoulder. Kenny: Why hasn't Frasier mentioned the Spokane thing yet? Roz: I don't know. I'm sure we'll get to it by the end of the show. Kenny: Well, he'd better, because I left him a memo and an email specifically asking him to promote the Spokane thing. Now ignoring an email is one thing, but a memo and an email? Well, I may have to bring the hammer down and leave a Post-It on his desk. Frasier: Which brings me to a bit of news. Starting Monday, there will be a new addition to the Frasier Crane radio family: the city of Spokane. [smiles at Kenny] Kenny: Oh, thank goodness. Man, that was like the Cuban Missile Crisis for a moment, wasn't it? He leaves the booth. Frasier: In fact, KQZY is not only going to be carrying the show, but they've invited Roz and me to conduct Monday's broadcast from their studios in Spokane. But fret not, Seattle. Although my body will be 300 miles away, my heart will be firmly lodged in your radios. [beat] You know, that sounded a lot better this morning in the shower. Anyway, good day and good mental health. He goes off the air. Roz comes in. Roz: I thought Friday was your bath day. Frasier: Ah, I woke up late. So, Roz, what time do you want me to pick up you and Roger on Sunday? Roz: Oh, there's been a change in plans. Roger is not coming to Spokane. Frasier: Really? Well, nothing wrong, I hope. Roz: We broke up. Frasier: Oh, Roz, I'm so sorry. Roz: We just talked about some problems we'd been having and decided
SUMMARY:
Frasier's show has been picked up by a station in Spokane , and he excitedly announces that he and Roz have been invited there by the station to do their first show from Spokane. Once off air, he also learns from Roz that she and Roger have broken up. Frasier wants to help, but Roz says she is OK about it. Once in Spokane, Frasier appears at a press conference to introduce himself and Roz to the local media. During this conference the reporters are obnoxious and condescending as they say that he will probably never be able to live up to local icon Neil Sullivan (affectionately known as Sully by the locals). When Sully arrives to make a final appearance and to wish Frasier luck the reporters give a dramatic final send-off. Things do not go too smoothly during Frasier's show either; every caller wants him to go back to Seattle , with some deciding to boycott the station until Sully comes back on the air. Frasier is determined to show the local audience his brand of therapy can help, and so convinces Roz to call in with a problem. Originally Roz improvises and says she is afraid of the dark. But Frasier delves deeper into the problem and this soon develops into him resolving Roz's feeling of loss and emptiness over the break-up with Roger. Meanwhile, Martin, Niles and Daphne work together to try to build a TV table. Earlier in the episode when Martin expresses his desire to build the TV table, Niles recalls his childhood hatred of building things with Martin as Martin was never any good. But in a turn of events Daphne is the real bossy one and not only upsets Niles but Martin also.
