Recap / Frasier S 05 E 22 The Life Of The Party

Go To

Roz goes into labor while at a party at Niles' apartment while Martin tries to score with a woman with his hair colored that makes him look young.


Tropes:

  • Instant Birth: Just Add Labor!: Roz begs Frasier to take her to the hospital as soon as her water breaks…on Niles’ prayer rug. Then again, it's possible she just wanted to get out of there before Niles noticed the damage.
  • Instantly Proven Wrong: In quite possibly the funniest way possible.
    Roz: My water just broke!
    Frasier: Maybe you sat in something.
    Niles: [offscreen] OH MY GOD! WHAT'S ALL OVER MY TURKISH PRAYER RUG?!
  • Little Black Dress: Roz wears one to the party and insists that it hides how pregnant she is. It doesn't.
  • Mistaken for Cheating: Played for Laughs at the end. When Frasier hits on a nurse at the hospital, she becomes disgusted when she thinks he's married to Roz. Frasier takes it in stride.
  • Monster Fangirl: Frasier, after another disastrous blind date, laments:
    Frasier: Murderers on Death Row can find women to marry them! I can't find one who'll sit through coffee with me!
    Niles: It's easy for those men to attract women, they have all that time to work out in the yard.
  • Stood Up: Daphne's date invites her to his niece's Bat Mitzvah only to stand her up. At least she seems to have picked up some Yiddish for her trouble.
    Daphne: ...if he thinks he's got another chance with me, he's meshugge.
