To help Maris out of a parking ticket situation, Niles hires a crook named Jerome to take of it and in return, Jerome to ask Frasier for help regarding his fiancé.
Tropes:
- Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Niles begs Roz to give him Jerome's number to help Maris after she spitefully withholds it after he gives a snarky remark about her Really Gets Around tendencies. Roz decides to give it to him anyway to make him stop.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Niles dragged Frasier into dealing with Jerome, and even though Niles is the one who wanted the favor to help Maris remain a Karma Houdini, Frasier was stuck having to pay the debt buy giving bad advice to Jerome's girlfriend. In the end, it was Niles who paid the price, being stuck with Brandi as his new receptionist.
- Lousy Lovers Are Losers: Brandy doesn't have anything good to say bout Jerome's bedroom performance.Brandy: Money ain't everything, especially when you've got a sex life like ours...
Roz: He's not even good in bed?
Brandy: Who knows? We're never there long enough to find out. I said to him last night, 'What the hell was that? I've been vaccinated slower!' - Shout-Out: Frasier tells Niles he will not let Niles turn Maris's parking ticket situation into a Martin Scorsese film.
- Speed Sex: Brandy complains about Jerome's performance, saying she's been vaccinated slower.
- Take That!: Leona Helmsley and Zsa Zsa Gabor are compared rather unfavorably to Maris.
