Plot outline

Bryce Academy are holding a reunion, but Frasier is not keen to go; he believes there is a curse hanging over him, which means this reunion always coincides with a low point in his life. Past incidents have included his divorce with Lilith and being left at the altar by Diane. Now that he is unemployed, single and living with his father, he expects total humiliation. Niles initially persuades him, and Roz agrees to go too, but following a catastrophic job interview at another radio station on the same day, Frasier changes his mind. Roz only finds out his decision after getting ready, so is very cross. However, when someone else from the school, who is heading to the reunion, sees Frasier walking outside the supermarket in shabby clothes pushing a shopping trolley, Frasier reconsiders again, expecting rumours to travel that he is homeless. It seems that whether he goes or not, the curse is always upon him.
