A storyline that I would have otherwise thought to be silly has turned out into a hilarious episode that I won't forget. Frasier and Niles were funny as they sold caviar from a questionable source all in exchange for entering their friends' circle. The scene where the guys try to buy the last batch of caviar was too funny for words, especially when the guys think that they are being busted for it and they proceed to eat it.
Roz, in the meantime, was even more hilarious with the guys when she got hooked on caviar with everything. The actress did great portraying her scenes. Also, the second storyline, with Marty trying to return the money to the bank, was also too funny for words. It goes to show how complicated banks can be. The ending scene where Martin got $10,000 and Daphne asked if she can create an account was probably my favorite line in the entire episode.moreless

ADD TRIVIA- In the scene on the Caspian Queen, when Frasier hands Peter's business card to the Russians the dialogue between the two is best translated as: "He's had some business cards made." "What an idiot, eh!" Later when Frasier stipulates how much caviar he wants: "Get me another can." Edit
- Altough the French shopkeeper, Robert is the same as in Season 5's "The Perfect Guy", the layout of the store itself is completely different. Edit

ADD ALLUSIONS- Title Card: They Call Him Vlad The Importer This is a comic allusion to Vlad The Impaler, or Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia (1431-1476). He was also called Vlad Dracula or simply Dracula, and well known for the exceedingly cruel punishments he imposed during his reign. In the English-speaking world, Vlad III is perhaps most commonly known for inspiring the name of the vampire in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. Edit
