Frasier

- Season 5

(1997)

Frasier brings back a supermodel girlfriend from his trip to Acapulco. Unfortunately, he has some trouble convincing his friends and family that she is real.

For their father's 65th birthday, Frasier and Niles compete to see who can buy him the best gift, while Sherry plans a party and ropes Daphne into doing all of the work.

At Niles' costume party for the Library Association, surrounded by guests dressed as literary characters, Roz confesses to Frasier that she thinks she's pregnant.

Learning she is pregnant, Roz breaks the news to the baby's father, a 20-year-old barista at Cafe Nervosa.

As art imitates life in the 100th episode of "Frasier," Dr. Frasier Crane realizes his landmark 1000th show is two weeks away and convinces the station to organize a celebration for the momentous occasion at Seattle's Space Needle. Niles, fed up with all of the hoopla and feeling jealous of his older brother, is immediately contrite when it looks like the two siblings may not make it to the festivities on time. Meanwhile, Roz is slowly becoming accustomed to her impending motherhood.

Frasier agrees to give a celebrity lecture on a cruise to Alaska, and invites Niles and Martin along. Trouble ensues when Maris also comes along, and spots a flirtatious society friend coming on to Niles.

Frasier dates Samantha, a high-powered attorney. He and his family become confused when it is clear that he is not the one "wearing the pants" in their relationship.

After Sam breaks up with Frasier, he obsesses over her possible reasons.

While receiving massages for their holiday stress, each member of the Crane family relates the story of the last few days, with subtle differences based on their own perspectives.

Bored with his usual routine, Frasier shuns Niles's company and becomes taken with the "Fox and Whistle," a British pub Daphne frequents.

Daphne finds an engagement ring in Martin's drawer. Appalled at the prospect of having Sherry for a stepmother, Niles hires a private detective to check out her background.

It's contract renegotiation time at Seattle's KACL, so Frasier hires a new, ethical agent who plans to raise Frasier's profile by having the zoo name a new crane after him. Taking a different approach, Roz calls in Bebe Glazer, Frasier's former tough-as-nails agent, to represent her. Also, Niles unwittingly begins a battle of willpower with his estranged wife, Maris.

Struggling with their estrangement, Niles and Maris start seeing a marriage counselor -- with unexpected results. Also, Frasier assists with a relationship workshop that Niles is running, and Martin is encouraged by Daphne to ask an attractive neighbor on a date.

Roz wins a weekend at a ski lodge, and trades it to Frasier. Daphne invites along her friend Annie, a swimsuit model. Frasier is taken with her, but she is interested in Niles.

An unexpected visit from Lilith stirs old passions in Frasier and new ones in Niles.

Frasier discovers that the Crane men are not invited to a family wedding because of a grudge Frasier's intense Greek aunt has held against him ever since he gave her son, Nikos, some advice she didn't like.

When a good-looking doctor joins the radio station as the host of a new medical show, Frasier can't believe he is as perfect as he seems and refuses to rest until he discovers the man's flaw.

Bulldog inadvertently spills coffee on a gunman holding at the Cafe, making him a local hero, much to Frasier's chagrin. Frasier knows the truth-that Bulldog was actually trying to pull Roz between himself and the gun.

When Frasier begins dating a beautiful woman, he has trouble accepting that the relationship is largely built on physical attraction and seeks reassurance from those around him.

Daphne overhears Niles talking about the woman he loves without realizing it is her. When she asks him who it is, his courage fails and he randomly names a neighbor woman, Phyllis.

Roz stays with Frasier while her new apartment is being painted, and panics when she receives a message from Rick's parents, her baby's future grandparents.

Fed up with their pathetic love lives, Frasier and Niles throw a singles party at Niles's apartment. They are soon at odds over the same woman. Martin tries dyeing his hair to appear younger for the party.

Frasier makes a valiant effort to spend time with a charming woman who he recently met, but he inadvertently keeps missing their appointments due to a string of amusing circumstances.

On their way home, Frasier and Daphne join a protest outside a condemned bookstore. When the police start arresting the protesters, including Daphne, Frasier panics and flees.
