Frasier makes a return to practising private
psychiatry , and although he is most excited, his first day turns into a sequence of disasters. Niles, who is doing his best to cope with a pregnant and hormonal Daphne, receives an unexpected phonecall from a hysterical Maris. He agrees to meet her for lunch, and learns that she has problems with a new boyfriend, an Argentinepolo player who has a violent temper. Niles advises Maris to leave him, and is worried how Daphne will react to hearing about the meeting. Both Frasier and Martin advise him to keep it to himself, so when Daphne starts asking questions about lunch, Niles pretends to be organising a surprisebaby shower for her. However, the deception becomes progressively more difficult to sustain.Episode Title Cards
