Daphne gives birth to a healthy son, David. Frasier marries Martin and Ronee in the vet's office before Daphne and the baby leave for the hospital. Frasier grows very lonely with Martin out of the apartment and Daphne and Niles busy with their son. He decides to take the San Francisco job. Roz is named Kenny's replacement as station manager, and gives Noel a kiss during her celebration! Frasier tells his family and Roz about his upcoming move, following a misunderstanding that leads them to believe he is dying. He promises to visit frequently. Frasier makes a speech to the group, and again on his final show at KACL, about the importance of taking chances. His seatmate on the plane thanks him for the stimulating conversation as their plane finally lands...in Chicago.
During an especially bumpy flight, Frasier tells a fellow passenger about his eventful past few weeks, which are recounted in a long flashback. Bebe tells Frasier that he has been offered the chance to replace a recently deceased San Francisco radio host. Frasier declines because he is happy with his life in Seattle. She believes he is just playing hardball, and later approaches him again with an offer of a higher salary and the bonus of a regular morning television gig. Frasier accidentally misses part of his show after engaging in a "matinee" with Charlotte. Kenny fills in for him, and enjoys being on the air so much that he decides to quit his job and go back to being a disc jockey. Frasier's last dinner with Charlotte before her departure for Chicago is constantly beset with interruptions; including an appearance by Daphne's brothers Simon, Michael and Stephen, who have dropped in on their sister unexpectedly. Niles worries that his child will turn out like Daphne's brothers. Frasier finally gets everyone out of the apartment, and he and Charlotte bid each other a sad farewell. Ronee discovers that the hotel believes that her wedding to Martin is to take place on May 15 instead of in July. Martin realizes that he accidentally gave Eddie's birthday when he booked the hotel, but his Frasier and Niles promise to throw together a great wedding in spite of the short notice. The event is marked by a constant series of calamities. Daphne's brothers get the flower girl drunk; the air conditioning goes out on a sweltering day; and a mishap with a cannon causes a truck full of spooked cattle to stink up the surrounding area. Niles and Daphne must take Eddie to the veternarian after he accidentally swallows the ring. Daphne goes into labor, and a young vet must deliver the baby.
Frasier meets with an analyst for a review. He discusses his background, his relationships with his family and friends, and the major events that have transpired in his life over the past year.
As Frasier prepares for a dinner party, he considers throwing away an old broken crock pot. However, the crock pot stirs many memories of past experiences with his friends and family. Among the times he recalls are getting accidentally super-glued to a blind date after Martin tried to repair the pot; a birthday party for Roz that found Niles and Daphne feeling especially amorous; a Fourth of July in which Frasier, Niles, Daphne and Roz got locked out on the balcony; a Thanksgiving when everyone seemed to be down on his or her luck (and Roz was working as a phone sex operator); and a dinner party shortly after his arrival in Seattle. Frasier realizes that the pot has sentimental value and decides to hold on to it.
Frasier offers Charlotte a ride to the train station, as she is headed to Portland to give a speech at a businesswomen's convention. She seems evasive when he tries to make future plans, so he insists that she explain what is wrong. She tells him that she is moving back to Chicago in three weeks, and doesn't think they should keep seeing each other because it will just make saying goodbye more painful. Charlotte ends up missing her train as they talk. Frasier tries to get her to the next station on time, but doesn't make it. His car eventually breaks down in a desolate area. There is no cell phone service, so they have to seek the help of a very strange family. They wind up spending the night in the same room as the body of their host's mother, whose wake is the next morning. They agree they they have had so much fun, even under these disastrous circumstances, that they want to make the most of their last few weeks together. Meanwhile, Martin, Daphne and Niles are left very confused when interviews for Martin's temporary physical therapist, the Cranes' nanny and the stripper for Martin's bachelor party are scheduled for the same time.
In attempt to woo Charlotte away from her current boyfriend, Frank, Frasier begins spending a great deal of time with the two of them. However, all of Frasier's efforts to impress Charlotte end up leading him to bond with Frank.
Martin worries about a visit from Ronee's mother. She dislikes him because she once saw Martin innocently comforting the teenage Ronee and assumed he was trying to "take her virtue." Meanwhile, Frasier continues to find himself consumed by thoughts of Charlotte. Roz recommends that he get over it by going to a bar and picking up someone. Frasier quickly makes a connection with a woman named Kim, and they go back to his apartment. However, their potential tryst is first interrupted by Martin, Ronee and her horrified mother; and then by Charlotte, who needs her extra keys after returning unexpectedly early from a camping trip with her boyfriend. Frasier tells Kim that things simply weren't meant to be for them, and ends up spending time with Charlotte, who had gotten into a fight with her boyfriend, Frank. Frasier tells Martin that he is miserable trying to be friends with Charlotte and wants to cut her out of his life. However, he quickly changes his mind. Meanwhile, Niles becomes a fast-food junkie after Daphne takes him on a few outings to Burger, Burger, Burger.
Frasier hires a professional matchmaker, but winds up going on a series of increasingly disasterous dates. Meanwhile, Niles and Daphne take things a bit too far while trying to get the most out of Daphne's pregnancy.
A panicked Frasier calls Niles over to the apartment and says that he has committed a crime. He explains the series of events that led up to this. When Frasier was overcome by a coughing fit, Roz took over the show and advised a caller to seek counseling to deal with kleptomania, which she described as being the result of someone needing the thrill of stealing to deal with the emptiness in his or her life. Frasier congratulated her on knowing what to say, but Roz said that it was easy because he is so predictable. While looking through some old photographs, Ronee remarked that Frasier hadn't changed in ten years. This prompted him to grow jealous of the excitement in the lives of his loved ones (Martin's engagement and Niles and Daphne's impending parenthood). Frasier then went to help an elderly neighbor, Opal, change a lightbulb. After she commented on his routine and compared him to a comfortable old shoe, he stole a small box from her for the thrill. However, he now feels guilty and seeks Niles' help to return it. They sneak into Opal's apartment, only to have her whole family show up for a surprise party. To make matters worse, Frasier learns that the item he stole was Opal's bronze medal from the 1936 Olympics. Frasier must distract the guests and try to think of an excuse to get Niles up a ladder to return the medal before anyone knows it is missing.
Frasier treats a woman who has a phobia about clowns. He plans to don a clown costume and full make-up as part of her treatment. Martin sneaks into Frasier's office and scares him by coming up behind him with one of Frasier's masks over his face. Frasier does not find this amusing, so Martin repeatedly teases him about being a "fuddy-duddy." Frasier decides to retaliate for the prank. He tells Martin that he is leaving the apartment, then puts on the clown costume and rings the doorbell. When Martin comes out to answer it, Frasier jumps out, wielding a cleaver. Martin collapses and suffers a mild heart attack. Frasier feels incredibly guilty about his actions, and is humiliated in the waiting room when the nurse reads off an account of what happened. Martin recovers quickly and returns home, but doesn't want to tell Ronee about his health crisis. He fears that she will think of him as an old man. When he finally breaks the news, she is nonplussed. She remarks that his serious behavior caused her to think he was going to break up with her or propose. Martin very casually proposes to Ronee (in a roundabout way), and she accepts. After realizing what has happened, they happily announce their engagement to Frasier and Niles.
Roz is disappointed when she is unable to get Alice tickets to a concert by children's performer Nanny G. After his family reveals that he used to be married to her, Frasier agrees to help Roz secure tickets. He accompanies Roz and Alice to a bookstore appearance, and continually drops hints to Nanny G about the fact that he is single. She doesn't seem interested. However, she soon has everyone in the store cover their eyes as part of a song. She gooses Frasier and kisses him passionately. They plan a rendezvous at his apartment. Much to his surprise, Nanny G shows up with her producer, Donald--who is also her husband. She claims that the marriage is only a business arrangement, and laments how frustrated she is with her life. She makes several passes at Frasier, and asks him to meet up with her after her concert the next day. Although he is in the midst of a dry spell and desperately wants to go through with it, he realizes it is wrong. He stops by before the show to share his decision, and Nanny G asks him to go down to the prop room to talk. She seduces Frasier, and he takes off his clothes and jumps into the prop bed with her--only to have it rise to the stage as the show begins. Meanwhile, Niles buys an expensive sweater, breaking a promise to Daphne to be frugal and save money for their child's college fund. Daphne--who believes the sweater is from the Gap--quickly proceeds to ruin it, leaving Niles frustrated but with no recourse.
Frasier grows depressed because no one is calling into his show. He mistakenly believes that Martin is inviting him along on his weekend in the mountains with Ronee, failing to realize that Martin was actually talking to Eddie. Niles and Daphne also come along after Niles overhears a sarcastic remark by Ronee and mistinterprets it as an invitation. Frasier is plagued by anxieties and cannot sleep during the trip. He first dreams that he has killed Niles and married Daphne. Niles mocks him for having such a simple dream, which he says is clearly a sign that he envies his brother's life. Frasier also has a nightmare about his problems with the show. Niles dreams about being a bad father, while Daphne suffers a nightmare in which she continually gains weight and Niles fools around with other women. Martin also has an unusual dream in which he chides his family members for letting their worries overcome them, before bursting into a song and dance number about his positive attitude. Unlike the other Cranes, Martin sleeps soundly.
Frasier discovers that his home insurance policy has been cancelled because Martin forgot to mail the payment several months earlier. After learning that it would cost a fortune to renew with that company, Frasier tries to get a better deal by making nice with Roz's insurance agent friend Ann, with whom Frasier had a disastrous date several months earlier. Unfortunately, Ann slips on some mayonaise in the kitchen and winds up breaking her leg. Frasier fears that she will sue, and tries to avoid this by inviting her to stay at the apartment while she recovers and treating her with kindness. He soon discovers that Ann's stay may be much longer than he expected. Meanwhile, Maris is released on bail and placed under house arrest. She involves an unwitting Niles in a scheme to flee the country and avoid prosecution.
KACL employees face off against another station in a weight-loss competition, with the winning team to receive a trip to Las Vegas. Tensions rise among the staffers, who become extremely cranky due to hunger as the contest proceeds. Noel starves himself and repeatedly faints after Roz suggests that he might get lucky with her in Vegas if they win the trip. Frasier refuses to get into the competitive spirit until he discovers that their opponent's general manager is a man who bullied him in high school (stealing his chess set). Meanwhile, Niles and Martin try to nurse an injured pigeon back to health; and Niles repeatedly suffers injuries of his own because the pregnant Daphne rolls over onto him in her sleep.
Frasier is shocked when Frederick comes to visit sporting his new "goth" look. Meanwhile, realising that he never rebelled in his adolescance, Niles decides to try marijuana...with unexpected results.
Niles gains notoriety throughout Seattle because of his involvement in Maris's murder case. He and Daphne mingle with the city's social elite (including Bill Gates), and he is able to finagle reservations at booked restaurants. Frasier grows very jealous, but hopes that his two Sea Bee nominations (which break the record for most nominations in a career) will help him return to the spotlight. Kenny arranges for an interview, and Frasier invites the reporter to the ceremony. However, everything quickly begins to go wrong. Frasier loses his date because the event has to be scheduled for the morning due to Kenny's gaffe. He then loses both of the awards, and the attention of the reporter, who is much more interested in Niles. Roz, on the other hand, experiences the thrill of a lifetime when her judgmental sister--who has a seemingly perfect life--finally gets knocked off her pedestal.
Lilith comes to town for a one-day conference. She and Frasier try to get together, but keep having to cancel. Lilith discusses her romantic problems with a colleague at Cafe Nervosa before having to return to the conference. The woman then meets Frasier and arranges a blind date between an unwitting Frasier and Lilith. Frasier and Lilith plan to meet for drinks at her hotel before their date(s). When it takes longer than expected, Frasier calls the woman who arranged the date and says that he has to cancel. Lilith tries to save face by cancelling the date herself. She and Frasier each believe they have been stood up, but are hesitant to admit it to each other. They have a wonderful evening together, and even help the couple in the next room deal with relationship problems. Frasier winds up falling asleep and staying overnight. Meanwhile, a frantic Niles, Martin and Daphne try to undo the damage after Martin's gun accidentally discharges in Frasier's apartment.
Niles is questioned by the police because he loaned Maris the murder weapon--an antique crossbow--for use in a play. Maris insists that she acted in self-defense. She continually calls Niles from jail, leaving Daphne extremely angry. The media scrutiny surrounding the Cranes intensifies after Frasier--the self-appointed family spokesman--accidentally says that Niles and Maris will be "executed" rather than "exonerated." Niles and Daphne have to come stay with Frasier, and Daphne makes Niles sleep on the couch. Frasier worries that Niles is reacting too calmly, as he believes that the anxiety will build up and eventually lead to a breakdown. Overcome with stress and sleep deprivation, Niles winds up stripping off all his clothes in Cafe Nervosa. Roz and Frasier manage to handle the situation. Niles finally begins to display some anger about his predicament, and asks Maris to back off and stop calling him so often.
Niles receives a phone call from a panicked Maris, who asks to meet him for lunch. She asks for advice on how to handle her violent, philandering lover. Niles recommends that she leave him immediately. Frasier and Martin warn Niles not to tell Daphne about the lunch, as she is experiencing severe mood swings due to her pregnancy. Niles wants to tell Daphne anyway, but changes his mind after she freaks out about a phone call from Maris. Niles ends up having to pile lie upon lie to keep the news from Daphne, and even has to throw her a baby shower at the last minute after she suspects that is the reason for his odd behavior and nervousness. Maris's lover, Esteban, shows up at the shower in search of Niles. He mistakenly punches out Frasier as he tries to retaliate for Niles' advice. Daphne is furious to learn that Niles lied to her, and storms out. She later returns, and Niles promises that Maris will never come between them again. Just then, a radio report announces that Maris has been arrested for Esteban's murder. Meanwhile, Frasier reconsiders his decision to return to private practice after his first two days are marred by a series of disastrous (and short) sessions.
Frasier overhears Ronee making a date with another man. He tells Martin, who is furious at him for eavesdropping. Ronee later breaks the news to Martin herself, explaining that she didn't think they had an exclusive relationship. He covers by claiming to be dating a woman named Sheila. Frasier gets stuck in the kitchen and overhears the conversation, and Martin accuses him of being a chronic eavesdropper. Martin runs into Ronee and her date at Cafe Nervosa, and tries to make her jealous by having Roz pose as the fictional Sheila. Frasier urges Martin to tell Ronee how he feels about her. Ronee comes over to talk to Martin, and Frasier leaves to give them some privacy. However, Roz inadvertently drives Ronee away, and Frasier somehow finds himself listening to another private conversation as Ronee and Martin sort things out in her car.
Roz tries to convince Frasier to go out with her friend Ann. She feels that Frasier is too particular about who he dates, and adds that there is nothing wrong with continuing to date around until the right person comes along. Frasier is reluctant, but soon grows tired of tagging along with Niles and Daphne and Martin and Ronee or hanging around the apartment alone. He agrees to a date with Ann, which proves to be a disaster. In the middle of the evening, he runs into Kenny, who is trying to persuade his beautiful and interesting cousin, Liz, to take a job in Seattle. Liz is leaving town the next day, so Frasier tries to ditch Ann so that he can spend time with her. Meanwhile, Niles and Daphne suspect that their maid is stealing from them.
Frasier and Niles go to a furniture store to pick out a couch for Frasier's new office. Niles cannot stop rambling; Frasier believes he is suffering from anxiety because of his impending fatherhood. Frasier, meanwhile, is experiencing doubts about his return to private practice, as he believes he has grown rusty. Frasier spots Ronee Lawrence, the boys' old babysitter. He invites her to come over to the apartment and catch up, as he hopes this will lead to romantic involvement for the pair. However, Martin also finds Ronee attractive, and decides to make his own move on her. When Ronee is called away to work, both men follow her to the club where she performs. Frasier is devastated to find that Ronee likes Martin, and falls into a depression. Frasier and Niles accidentally learn that Martin has been taking Viagra. Martin returns for his pills, but the brothers cannot put them back in time to hide their discovery. Martin is embarrassed, and explains that he could not perform with Ronee because he keeps picturing her as a teenager. Within the span of a few minutes, Frasier is able to diagnose and solve all three of the men's neuroses. He gloats about this and declares himself fit to return to private practice.
Frasier and Niles suspect that Roz's new boyfriend, Barry, is gay. They see Barry on the street and believe that he has gone into a gay bar. Frasier, worried that Barry is leading Roz on, goes inside to confront him. Niles discovers that Barry actually went into an apartment building next door to the bar. He goes into the bar to tell Frasier, and a misunderstanding causes the patrons to believe the Crane brothers are actually lovers. A caller then "outs" Frasier on his show the next day. Martin feels very uncomfortable about the public thinking his son is gay. Alistair Burke, the head of the Seattle opera guild, befriends Frasier and begins spending a lot of time with him. The rest of the family realizes that Alistair thinks of Frasier as his boyfriend, but Frasier insists that this is not true. Frasier, Niles and Daphne attend a party, where Frasier discovers that everyone in attendance thinks that he and Alistair are a couple. Frasier is finally forced to come clean with Alistair about his sexuality after learning that Alistair expects to take their relationship to the next level very soon.
Niles accuses Frasier of sabotaging his relationships whenever things start to get serious. Frasier vows to "commit to commitment," and tries to win Julia back. She accepts his apology and sleeps with him, and the pair seems to be getting along well. However, Julia proceeds to offend the entire Crane family during a dinner that Niles and Daphne had scheduled to announce her pregnancy. She even inadvertently spills the beans about the pregnancy (she overheard Niles and Daphne discussing it) before the couple can make the announcement. Frasier tries to excuse her behavior because of his new dedication to commitment, but ultimately dumps her.
When Roz regrets her behaviour toward Frasier, and dislikes her new job, she wishes to patch things up and return to KACL. However, Frasier, whose relationship with Julia is beginning to blossom, fears that there's a lot more going on. Meanwhile, Daphne and Niles decide to start trying to conceive.
