Plot outline
Frasier and his family receive a visit from Dr Leland Barton, his late mother’s research assistant, now settled in Paris. They find him sophisticated and erudite, with an interest in sherry and the arts – in short, surprisingly similar to Frasier and Niles. Roz even observes that they have some similar mannerisms, and when Leland confides in her how close he was to their mother, she cannot help considering the possibility that the similarities are more than just a coincidence. Martin makes some similar observations, and begins to feel unsettled by the thought.
Niles and Daphne are also thinking about parenting, and although there are no children on the way yet, Niles is keen to get a place in advance at a decent kindergarten. The problem is that they have to put a name on the form.

*The next song Frasier and Niles sing together is "Titwillow", from the operetta "The Swing Mikado".
