TEXT: Skyline: The Seattle sky line is drawn with no extras. Act One. Scene One - KACL Frasier and Roz in their respective booths, the show is going on. Frasier: Gee, I'm sorry, Blake. When I told you to close your eyes and visualize that you were on a tropical island, I didn't realize you were calling from your car phone. The camera pans to Roz, who looks mildly horrified. Blake: [v.o.] That's OK, Doc. At least I know my airbags work. Frasier: [laughs uncomfortably] Well, I'm glad you're alright. And thank you for your call. Gil Chesterton edges open the door and slides into the booth. He waves and mouths "Hi." Frasier: Well, look who's popped into the booth! It's Gil Chesterton, KACL's own food critic - which means, it's my cue to hit the road. So, till tomorrow, this is Dr. Frasier Crane, wishing you... [starts to sneeze] a good day... [sneezes] and-and good health. He goes off the air. Gil comes in with his hands behind his back. Roz enters the booth. Gil: [motherly] Hey, Frasier! Frasier: Hello, Gil. Gil: I heard you coughing on the air earlier today. Sounds like you might be coming down with something. So I had this sent over from Rosenthal's Deli. [hands Frasier a white paper bag] Chicken soup, so lovingly prepared even the chicken gets well. Frasier: Thank you. That's very kind. Gil: And of course I'd never forget you, Roz. [hands her a smaller bag] Some ladyfingers, that have been soaked in rum. Roz: Mmm! Frasier: Much like her own. He coughs repeatedly and loudly, ignoring Roz's offended look. Gil: I say, I hope this isn't the start of that nasty flu that's going around. You want to take a couple of days
SUMMARY:
Frasier falls ill, and KACL restaurant critic Gil Chesterton tries to steal his time slot in his absence. Frasier begs Niles to take over to prevent this. When Niles unexpectedly runs the show with great success, a feverish Frasier begins to imagine plots against him, and decides to drag himself to the station no matter what. He locks Niles and Roz out of the studio and broadcasts in a state of delirium.
