Plot outline

Frasier meets Samantha, a high-profile criminal defence attorney, while in a shop trying to return an unwanted gift for Roz. She actually comes to his rescue by persuading the shop assistant to give him store credit. He invites her to dinner to say thank you, and before they finish the "hors d'œuvre" she asked out of the blue if they could go somewhere and have sex. Over time, Frasier's family become confused when it emerges that he is the more submissive one in their relationship.

Memorable Quotations

"Niles has just entered Frasier's apartment, and sniffs the aroma"
Niles: Ah, Frasier's morel mushroom and tarragon sauce.

"Frasier, Niles, Daphne, and Martin are in Frasier's apartment, discussing Frasier's relationship"
Frasier: You know, it's funny; as much as I care for this woman, there's something about this relationship that leaves me vaguely unsettled.
Niles: I might venture a theory at which you're sure to hoot. What may be making you uncomfortable is that for the first time you find yourself in the more…submissive rôle.
Frasier: What on God's earth are you talking about?
Daphne: I think what he means is: you're the girl!
