 Frasier receives the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Seattle Broadcasting Awards. His mentor from Harvard, Professor William Tewksbury, sends him a congratulatory basket of flowers, with a note attached.

Meanwhile, Daphne is literally gaining weight by the minute, which is obvious to everyone but herself and Niles.
