Frasier hires an authentic English butler after his original boss passes away, achieving one of his many fancy dreams. Ferguson is great with the Cranes, and it doesn't take him long to start giving his opinions on the family routine. First he gives hints to Frasier on how he can charm opera board members and perhaps even get invited to join them. After that he warns Daphne about employee/employer relationships and how the social barrier is never broken. He helps Frasier organize a fancy dinner party, and Mel unexpectedly shows up, ruining once more Niles and Daphne's plans of being together. When Mel agrees on spending New Year's with some friends in the company of Niles, he draws the line and breaks up the entire marriage scam they were carrying on. Mel is devastated, and Daphne, relieved. Seeing that true love between boss and help can exist, Ferguson resigns to chase after someone he cared deeply, but never had the courage to do anything due to the social barriers.

Frasier Show Summary

After many years spent at the "Cheers" bar, Frasier moves back home to Seattle after his policeman father Martin Crane gets shot in the hip on duty. After Martin struggles with living alone after the incident, he moves in with Frasier in his luxury apartment at the Elliot Bay Towers along with his dog Eddie. Hired by Frasier, Daphne Moon also moves in as Martin's personal physiotherapist. Also living nearby is his younger brother Niles Crane, who is also a Psychiatrist.

Frasier's new life in Seattle beings when he is employed by a radio station to offer therapy in a call-in manner. Produced by Roz Doyle, who becomes Frasier's friend, Frasier handles the everyday problems or people... sometimes uninteresting and even frustrating to Frasier but his ultimate goal will stay the same he wants to and enjoys helping people.
