Frasier has a recurring erotic dream in which he wakes up in bed, hears the shower running and is shocked when the person who emerges is KACL’s food critic, Gil Chesterton (Edward Hibbert).

Niles gives him two minutes' worth of advice in the corridor, and later that day Martin sees Reggie win a game for the Sonics on television.

Niles is hailed as a hero in Seattle, and given VIP tickets to the next game, but he soon discovers that it was not his psychiatric expertise that Reggie believes helped him; it was his hair.

The vet says he is physically fine, so Martin worries that he may be depressed, and Daphne suggests taking him to a dog psychiatrist (Zeljko Ivanek), to the chagrin of Frasier and Niles.

She explains it is community service for a speeding offence, and she chose this option rather than visiting a retirement home, due to her fear of ageing.

Frasier accompanies her to her next visit, where he meets a blind man named Norman (James Earl Jones), who is a fan of his.
