Plot outline

Whilst rushing to deliver Roz to a date, Frasier is stopped for speeding by an attractive police officer. He explains that he is a radio personality, and the officer, noticing from his driving license that it is birthday, eventually agrees not to issue a ticket. Once home, Frasier persuades his father to phone the police station, whereby he find out that the officer's name is Maureen and she is a regular at McGinty's. Seizing the opportunity, Frasier goes there with Martin to see if they can find her, but when they do, it is Martin that she asks to meet again (while Frasier is buying the drinks). Anxious not to hurt his son's feelings, Martin asks Niles for advice, and Niles, having tried several times to be allowed to tell Frasier the news himself, suggests one date with Maureen to see if they get on well. Unfortunately, this date ends up happening on the evening that Daphne and her English friends call round to the flat, and persuade Frasier to go and find Maureen at McGinty's again.
