Plot: It's a good day in Seattle, but not for KACL as no-one is calling in. When somebody does due to depression, Frasier tells her a story about Eddie three days ago.
Eddie is depressed. Nothing seems to be cheering him up. Daphne suggests calling in a dog psychiatrist, whilst Martin thinks maybe getting another dog would be the answer.
Eventually they call in the dog psychiatrist, Dr Arnold Shaw. Dr Shaw tries to get to the root of Eddie's depression whilst Frasier and Niles are taking the mickey out of him. Dr Shaw comes up with a answer - Eddie is depressed because everyone else around him is depressed. This leads to a conversation about the causes of depression and why we exist. But could it all be due to Eddie losing his favourite toy?
Subtitles: Happy Talk.
It's Maris!!!.....Doggone It: Niles' whippet is seen as a Maris clone - "other than it eats now and then, they could be dead ringers!!!"
Roz loves.... Dr Stephen Kagan, a gynaecologist friend of Frasier's who Roz was very interested - until she found out his job.
Trivia: Mentions of
Hester Crane and Joe - he's apparently the cause of Daphne's sadness as he broke up with her and married someone else - and reappearance of "Girl", Niles' whippet and Eddie's Barbie doll - he's lost it and is sad because of this.Read the script of this episode at
