- Frasier hosts an informal brunch in order to acquaint himself with Niles' lady love Mel, but little does he know that the plastic surgeon is a manipulative schemer who slickly wants to push Niles out in front of his brother.
- Frasier begins to think that Niles' new girlfriend may be slightly manipulative, a suspicion that is brought to the forefront when Niles suddenly announces he wants to run against Frasier to be the prestigious Corkmaster of their wine club.—Anonymous
- Frasier is very excited about the prospect of being elected "Corkmaster" of his local wine club, which he has asked Niles to nominate him for. During conversation on the subject with Roz, discussion turns to Mel, and Frasier admits that he does not know her very well, so suggests having Sunday brunch that week to get to know her better. However, whilst Niles is getting ready for the wine club meeting, Mel insidiously manages to convince him to run against his brother for the position of Corkmaster, playing on his pride. As a result, at the meeting that night Frasier is stunned when Niles reveals his intention to run against him. When the votes come in at a tie, a wine-tasting tiebreaker overseen by the outgoing corkmaster (Anthony Heald) sees Niles narrowly win. Frasier is gracious in defeat, until he discovers that Mel provided the impetus for Niles' decision to stand. This revelation is just one of a series of events during the brunch that bring out a collective distaste for Mel among all present, although no one says anything to her or Niles. Frasier is sorely tempted, realizing that her emasculating influence is comparable to that of Maris. Meanwhile, Martin has embarked on an affair with Claire Wojadubakowski, an old friend whose husband Stan was buried a few weeks before. As Martin and Stan were quite close, he is feeling quite guilty over this, and endeavors to conceal the fact from Frasier.
- Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) hosts an informal brunch in order to acquaint himself with Niles' (David Hyde Pierce) lady love Mel (guest star Jane Adams), but little does he know that the plastic surgeon is a manipulative schemer who slickly wants to push Niles out in front of his brother -- even if it's only to contest Frasier for the coveted post of Corkmaster of their snooty wine club. Meanwhile, Martin (John Mahoney) feels guilty for romancing the widow (guest star Anita Gillette) of his recently deceased police buddy.
