The story continues from the previous episode ("Odd Man Out"), after Frasier spontaneously decides to board a plane to
Acapulco with Joanna. She soon switches seats after learning this. While reading a magazine, he realises that the model in it is actually the woman sitting next to him on the plane, who introduces herself as Kelly Easterbrook. She tells him she is asupermodel and a student ofzoology . The pair share a steamy time together inMexico , but while Kelly wants to continue seeing Frasier, she asks him to not tell anyone about them, as she is currently breaking up with a football player and wants this kept out of the media. As it turns out, no one back inSeattle at home or at work will believe that Frasier met anyone in Mexico, still less that it was a supermodel. In fact, Niles, Daphne and Martin worry that, given the desperate state of his love life, he must be inventing a girlfriend.Episode Title Cards
