Skyline: A helicopter appears over the city.

Plot: KACL has a new owner - Wilford S Boone, aka Big Willy. Frasier is eager to impress him because he gives national contacts to people he likes. But Frasier doesn't have to "suck up" to him as Big Willy decides to give Frasier the contract. On one condition - his fiancée won't stop smoking and he won't marry her until she does. Frasier has 3 days to stop her smoking.

Frasier then meets said fiancée - it's Bebe!!! He traps her in his apartment for the three days to try and kick the habit, but things do nto go well. It is revealed that Daphne and Martin are both ex-smokers, and they give Bebe encouragement to quit - but their resolve begins to break after Bebe gives a long speech about the joys of a cigarette.

Late that night, everyone is in bed - except Daphne. She's sneaking onto the balcony for a smoke. But Bebe hears her and locks Daphne outside after she refuses to share her cigarettes. Fights break out as Bebe's craving overpowers her and she tries getting the cigarettes from Daphne (after Frasier lets her back in!). Finally Frasier, sick of all the commotion and stress, tells Bebe that if she doesn't stop smoking, Big Willy won't marry her, and if he doesn't marry her there'll be no inheritance for her when he dies. Will this be enough to persuade Bebe to finally quit smoking?
