[edit] Plot outline

Niles is throwing a literary themed Halloween party and Roz fears she might be pregnant. The episode begins at Frasier's apartment where Niles is preparing for the party. Later at KACL during Frasier's Show Roz begins messing up all of the calls, causing one technical difficulty after another. Frasier confronts her only to find out she might be pregnant. Frasier convinces Roz to go to Nile's party hoping that will get her mind off her possible pregnancy. That night at the party Frasier accidentally lets out that Roz might be pregnant and soon the wrong gossip spreads amongst the party guests. The entire ordeal ends with a drunken Niles proposing to Daphne whom he thinks is pregnant with Frasier's baby. Just as Frasier is attempting to reassure the party guests about what is really going on, Roz interrupts him. She lets everyone know that she has just heard from her doctor confirming news: she's pregnant.

[edit] Memorable quotes

Niles showing Martin his costume for that evening's Halloween party

Niles:Trick or treat! Or should I say, "Pip Pip!"

Martin:What's with the outfit?

Niles:This is part of your costume for tonight. I just picked it up for you.

Martin:What? I thought you said you were getting me a Sherlock Holmes outfit. He didn't wear a bowler.

Niles:Well, they were all out of Sherlock Holmes, so I put together something else for you. Don't worry, it's another detective. Tonight, you'll be Lord Peter Wimsey.

Martin:Who the hell's that?

Niles:He's a celebrated bon vivant sleuth from a series of novels by Dorothy L. Sayers.

Martin:Well, I'm not going anywhere where I have to tell people my name's Wimsey!

  • Frasier at the party meeting a woman dressed as Eve from the Bible

Niles: I need to talk to you!

Frasier: Not now, Niles! [to Eve] Let me guess... Lady Godiva?

Eve: No, Eve — from the Bible.

Frasier: Well, now I know why they call it "The Good Book."
