Plot outline

Frasier has been thoroughly enjoying sharing the glamorous lifestyle that Sam leads, having just spent a weekend at Aspen. Meeting Niles at Café Nervosa, he cannot help some gratuitous name-dropping while talking about the weekend, and all Niles can do is sit there gritting his teeth. Frasier is, therefore, rather taken aback when Sam breaks up with him over dinner the following day. She insists that it is nothing to do with him; only that she feels their relationship has run its course. Frasier is not convinced, and for a while afterwards agonises over what he did wrong, or what aspect of his character she disliked. He even tries asking her several times, and his family become concerned. Martin insists that he is just too analytical all the time, and Roz and Daphne join in with a list of other character flaws. Niles, however, once this has passed, seems to find an answer while looking over Frasier's photographs from Aspen.

Memorable Quotations

"Frasier is trying to work out why Sam broke up with him. Roz thinks he is obsessing, and tells him off"
Roz: I've been down this road so many times I call it “The Roz Expressway”.
Niles: I've heard that phrase before, but in a slightly different context.

"Daphne and Roz advise Frasier to do nothing, not even to phone Sam. At this point, they realise he has already done this"
Martin: Oh, Frasier, you never call somebody who's broken up with you! It makes you look desperate.
Frasier: Well, I didn't have any choice; she wouldn't return any of my pages!

"Niles establishes that Frasier was not exactly in love; just saw it as a possibility for the future"
Niles: Well, no wonder you're heartbroken; you've just lost the only woman you could even "possibly" sometime down the line "perhaps" fall in love with. I'm surprised the country music people haven't jumped all over this one!
