Recap / Frasier S 08 E 05 Legal Tender Love And Care

Go To

Frasier begins to suspect his attractive new attorney (played by Teri Polo) is unfairly running up his bill. Also guest starring Saul Rubinek.


Tropes:

  • Amicable Exes: After Daphne and Donny's final meeting, they part ways on good terms.
  • Fourth-Date Marriage: In the time since Donny and Daphne's canceled wedding Donny has met and married Nancy.
  • Lightbulb Joke: Martin tries to crack one while having dinner with Abby who immediately turns it back on him.
    Martin: How many lawyers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
    Abby: I don't know, it depends on how many cops planted it there.
  • Open Mouth, Insert Foot:
    • After seeing Donny dining with a new woman named Nancy, Daphne decides to apologize in person, and hopes that they have an enjoyable courtship...only to learn that they married immediately, since Donny didn't want another long engagement like he had with Daphne, and Donnie's genuinely happy.
    • Meanwhile, Frasier decides to email his attorney about her fee, and then confront her directly...only to learn that her office's servers were down, and not only is she attracted to him, she actually gave him a discount. He has to do some quick-thinking to delete the message before she gets a chance to read it...only to accidentally print it instead. When she reads it, Frasier tries to justify himself, stating that he does genuinely care about her and that hiding the truth from her proves it. She immediately kicks him out.
