    Storyline

    Edit

Daphne's paranoia sends her to extreme lengths to learn anything she can about her. Meanwhile, Frasier is taunted by a rather chirpy cricket. —Anonymous

    • Quotes

      Daphne Moon: I know you're angry, but please say something.

      Dr. Niles Crane: Angry doesn't begin to describe it.

      Daphne Moon: Niles...

      Dr. Niles Crane: You have violated this person's privacy. If she found out, I... they could suspend my license.

      Daphne Moon: I am so sorry.

      Dr. Niles Crane: And you don't trust me. How could you possibly think there could be somebody else?

      Daphne Moon: Because I was "somebody else".

      Dr. Niles Crane: What?

      Daphne Moon: You were married to two other women while you claimed to have been in love with me. And now that we're together, how can I be sure - really sure - that there won't ever be another somebody else?

      Dr. Niles Crane: Because I would never... because this time, it's different. Our love is different. It's not based on somebody's expectations or-or... anything I'm supposed to be. Uh... when I was with Maris, or with Mel, I found myself thinking about you. Going about my day or, uh... even when I was in a session. I found myself thinking about you. Well, now we're together. I find myself thinking about you. It's not going to stop.

      When the title "Frasier" and the usual silhouette of Seattle are on screen, a lightning bolt flashes in the sky.

    Daphne Oversteps Her Bounds
    Lucy and Ethel (I mean Daphne and Roz) team up to find the details on a patient that said she was in love with Niles. Daphne found this in a confidential file and sets out on the journey of discovery. Meanwhile, Martin and Frasier us every method imaginable to destroy a cricket that has invaded the apartment. There's some pretty funny stuff here. Niles, however, finds nothing humorous in Daphne's activities.
