Plot outline

It's time for the Crane brothers sports club squash tournament, and Frasier is expecting to be teamed with Niles again but he has other ideas: as they have been eliminated in the second round for nine years in a row, Niles has decided to team up with Jim Braggett (something of a poseur) in the hope of doing better. Understandably, Frasier is upset at his brothers actions but luck is at hand when Chelsea Gray, a girls gym teacher, walks into the room. She and Frasier briefly met some time ago and mentions that she is looking for someone to team up with her for the mixed doubles. Frasier is reluctant initially but when he sees her hit a great ball at Jim Braggett he agrees! This decision pays off handsomely when Chelsea and Frasier win the mixed doubles tournament which delights Martin as his son has finally brought home a trophy that doesn't have a book on it, while Niles is a bit jealous of brother's achievements and hopes he can do just as well with Jim. Frasier also admits to Daphne that he has developed a bit of a crush on Chelsea and is worried that she doesn't feel the same, but Daphne manages to convince him to take the plunge and is rewarded with a date with Chelsea when she says yes.

After they have been dating for a while, Niles tells Frasier that he first he couldn't believe he was dating a gym teacher on account of their dreadful experiences they both faced when they were at school but remarks that Chelsea couldn't be more different. Frasier is also enjoying their relationship but things change when he goes to pick Chelsea up at her school and witnesses Chelsea berate a rather fat girl for not trying hard enough to climb the rope. This brings back memories of Frasier's horrible cigar-smoking gym teacher Coach Fuller and as a result he can no longer look at Chelsea without seeing her as his former gym teacher.
