Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In the conclusion of a two-part story, Niles' ex-wife Maris has been arrested for the murder of her lover Esteban -- with a weapon (an antique crossbow) lent to her by the hapless Niles (David Hyde Pierce). The ensuing media frenzy turns Maris into a celebrity, much to the dismay of Niles' pregnant -- and very moody -- wife, Daphne (Jane Leeves). And in his capacity as self-appointed "family spokesperson," Frasier manages to make a bad situation terrible during a press conference. Throughout the chaos, Niles remains unusually cool, calm, and collected...until, in an explosion of panic, he literally bares all at the Café Nervosa.
