Skyline: A crane lifts a load over the skyline.

Plot: Niles has bought Daphne tickets for a Billy Joel concert, and she's bought him tickets to the throat singers at the Mongolian Music Festival. However they're on the same night. Also on that night, Martin is starting his new job as a security guard.

When Martin reminds them that Eddie needs walking at 10pm, an argument starts between everyone else as to who should walk him. Leaving them to argue, Martin goes to his room, and remembers back to the last day he worked - the day he got shot.

Martin is in the car with his partner Frank. Martin isn't getting along with his kids and keeps telling Frank the same things again and again. Frank says he's seeing a therapist to get along with his kids and now does things like kissing them goodbye before he goes to work. He suggests Martin calls Frasier in Boston and Niles at home to see what they're up too as a way of building bridges with them, and Martin agrees. Frank then asks to pull over so he can get a drink. Martin offers to get it for him......

At the hospital, Niles comes to visit. But he and his father don't have much to say to each other. Back in the present, Martin finds everyone still arguing. Martin tells them to work things out, and that he's now off to work. Before he goes, he kisses his kids goodnight.

Subtitles: Beware Lollygagging Messengers; She Has Big Ones, Too.

It's Maris!!!.....Thanks For Nothing: In the flashback, Martin has to spend Thanksgiving with Niles and Maris. Maris ate nothing. She sucked air through a rice cake instead.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name: A few indirect mentions of Frasier being in Boston are in this episode.
