The entire ordeal ends with a drunken Niles proposing to Daphne, who he thinks is pregnant with Frasier's baby.

The shock and pain of this event reduce Niles to tears in the middle of a couples therapy session the next day, which Frasier is helping him to run.

Dr. Clint Webber (guest star Billy Campbell) hosts a new show on KACL about health issues.

Frasier himself decides that he can endure this man being more attractive than he is, assuming that there are other areas in which he surpasses Clint.

Before long, though, he learns that Clint is also an old Oxonian, an expert squash player, fluent in French and a godson of José Carreras.

Frasier maintains that he is not jealous, and tries to cultivate a friendship with Clint, but the list of his skills and abilities seems to grow over time.

When the new station manager instructs him to read the same sponsor advert, he objects on principle and makes a stand on air.
