Skyline: The lift travels up the Seattle Space Needle.

Plot: Martin is worried - the toilet in the apartment isn't working. He asks Frasier to fix it, but Frasier suggests calling a plumber instead. Martin says they are a waste of money and decides to fix it himself - at which point Frasier gives in and, together with Niles, tries to fix the toilet. After many hours of work they think they've fixed it - until when they try it out it floods all over the floor.

Martin gives in and his sons call the plumber - who turns out to be Danny Kriezel, Niles' old school bully. Niles is horrified - until Frasier points out that Danny hasn't recognised him. Niles says this is because his head isn't down the toilet. Frasier says their lifestyle is the best revenge - so Niles flaunts it to Danny, who remains uninterested.

Niles soon discovers that Danny in fact has the better lifestyle - he has a better Mercedes than Niles!!! Frasier arrives and stops Niles pushing Danny's head down the toilet. He convinces Niles to talk to Danny. But when Danny's older brother and business partner, Billy - who used to bully Frasier - arrives with some parts and starts talking about a "nerdy kid" who he shoved into a locker wearing a girl's hockey uniform, Frasier has to try and remember his own advice.

Meanwhile Daphne has fallen in love with a man who plays Frisbee in the park - which means poor Eddie has had a lot of walks recently.....

Subtitles: Heir To The Throne; If You Want It Done Right...; The Circle Of Life.

It's Maris!!!: Maris is aroused by the thought of Niles doing manual labour as he phones her to say he'll be late home.

Roz loves..... the guy at the Seahawks game who hasn't asked her out yet. Frasier thinks maybe he's there to watch the football.

Trivia: This is the first episode written by Steven Levitan. We've heard of Billy Kriezel before - in Ep 4 "I Hate Frasier Crane". He challenged Frasier to a fight, but Frasier had a clarinet lesson to attend. Mention of Dolly Parton by the way.
