Recap / Frasier S 07 E 05 The Dog That Rocks The Cradle

Go To

A down-on-his-luck Bulldog gets hired by Roz as a babysitter, but uses the opportunity to scare away potential suitors. Niles deals with the fact that he lost his plot at an upscale cemetery in his divorce, which leads to questions about what Martin wants done with his own body when he dies.


Tropes:

  • Cannot Spit It Out: Bulldog has developed genuine feelings for Roz but being Bulldog he can't bring himself to admit to it. He instead starts scaring off Roz's dates so she'll spend time with him and Alice. After Roz catches him threatening the last date she traps him on her balcony while naked and angrily confronts him. He finally cracks and tells her the truth...but Roz doesn't feel the same way.
  • Fallen-on-Hard-Times Job: Bulldog starts delivering pizzas after getting fired from KACL. He gladly accepts Roz's offer to take over as her babysitter.
  • Naked People Trapped Outside: Once Bulldog is naked Roz tricks him into going out on her balcony and locks the door behind him. She only lets him back in when he sits on her patio table.
  • Pizza Boy Special Delivery: Bulldog mistakes Roz shutting the door behind him as her wanting to roleplay this scenario.
  • Scenery Censor: As Bulldog strips off his clothes, thinking he and Roz are about to sleep together, the camera lowers slightly so the decor in Roz's bedroom blocks anything that isn't network-friendly.
