 Frasier is still wallowing in Lilith s announcement that she is leaving him for her colleague, Dr. Louis Pascal. What s worse, she has decided to let Frasier have sole custody of Frederick - or in Frasier s mind, abandoning her only child - and live in an underground bubble in the desert, an "eco-pod" with Dr. Pascal. The eco-pod is Dr. Pascal s primary scientific experiment. She wants a trial separation for the time she s gone to live in the eco-pod. She s sees her act as the first and only time she s let loose in her life. Frasier s response is to get on the ledge of a third floor window above the bar, Frasier threatening to jump. Lilith comes to the scene, and eventually talks him off the ledge, telling him in all sincerity that she will go back to him if he doesn t kill himself. With that announcement, Frasier, still in love with Lilith, lets his wife go to pursue her dream, but not before some parting words for Dr. Pascal.
