Plot outline

It is Christmas. Frasier has been asked to act in a commercial for the Seattle Tourist Board, and is more than a little interested in Natalie who is arranging it. He meets her in Café Nervosa, but she also meets Martin and Eddie, and seeing how cute Eddie is, decides that he should be in the video as well – much to Frasier’s chagrin. He hopes the arrival of his son Frederick will cheer him up, but when he sees he is now a goth, complete with new goth girlfriend Andi, and wants to spend all his time with her, Frasier is left a little shocked and somewhat downhearted. Niles sees Frederick’s goth choice as a phase and typical of a teenage rebellion [cite web |url=http://www.geocities.com/nicholas_hartley/1111.html |title=High Holidays |accessdate=2007-07-26 |date=20 September 2005 |publisher=Geocities ] , prompting a discussion of what everyone did to rebel as a teenager, with Martin pointing out that Niles had never rebelled. This leads Niles to take some drastic action: he is “going to get high on reefer!” Frasier questions where he is going to get hold of some – answered when Roz delivers Niles a “pot brownie”.

Unfortunately, Niles’ car alarm goes off at that point, and neither Frasier or Roz can stay so Roz gives the brownies to Martin who is just arriving in the Café. He tries to stop himself eating them, as he is trying to cut down on junk food, but can’t help himself [cite web |url=http://www.geocities.com/nicholas_hartley/1111.html |title=High Holidays |accessdate=2007-07-26 |date=20 September 2005 |publisher=Geocities ] . Of course, he does not know they are laced with cannabis, but having eaten it, buys a normal one to make sure Niles doesn’t know he has eaten the one destined for him. Niles, therefore, is none the wiser and eats his normal brownie still under the impression he will get high, while Frasier cannot believe his eyes when he finally sees the advert for the Seattle Tourist board – they have made Eddie the star with Frasier narrating what Eddie is saying.

Undaunted, he leaves to go out on a date with Natalie after Niles arrives “high” on his pot brownie. Martin arrives soon after, and Niles believes that the crazy way his father begins acting is just the pot kicking in. It takes a sober Frasier to point out that it’s their father that is high, leaving Niles somewhat deflated until his brother points out that he did get their cop father high. Meanwhile, Frasier is a bit depressed as his date (Natalie) left him midway through the date to meet another man. Freddie also experiences the same thing and the similarity in incidents help father and son to bond again.

Memorable Quotations

"Frasier has agreed to take part in the promotion"
Frasier: There was a small, madly insecure part of me that wondered if I was your…second choice.
Natalie: No, you weren’t second.

"Frasier has just seen Frederick’s goth girlfriend, and is reeling from the shock"
Niles: Well, at least he’s not dating outside the faith.

"Niles has just announced his rebellious plans to Frasier"
Frasier: What?!
Niles: I’ve waited for this all my life, Frasier. One act of utter, devil-may-care, crotch-grabbing brazenness! And of course, I’ll have a nurse on speed-dial in case things get too heavy.
