[edit] Plot outline

Frasier has been asked to act in a commercial for the Seattle Tourist Board, and is more than a little interested in Natalie who is arranging it. He meets her in Cafe Nervosa, but she also meets Martin and Eddie too, and seeing how cute Eddie is, decides that he should be in the video as well - much to Frasier's chagrin. However, the arrival of his son Frederick he hopes will cheer him up but when he sees he is now a Goth, complete with new goth girlfriend Andi, and wants to spend all his time with her leaves Frasier a little shocked and somewhat downhearted. Niles sees Frederick's goth choice as a phase and typical of a teenage rebellion^[3], prompting a discussion of what everyone did to rebel as a teenager, with Martin pointing out that Niles had never rebelled. This leads Niles to take some drastic action - he is "going to get stoned on reefer!" Frasier questions where he is going to get hold of some - answered when Roz delivers Niles a pot brownie.

Unfortunately, Niles' car alarm goes off at that point, neither Frasier or Roz can stay so Roz gives the brownies to Martin who is just arriving in the Cafe. He tries to stop himself eating them as he is trying to cut down on junk food but can't help himself^[4]. Of course, he doesn't know they're laced with pot, but having eaten it, buys a normal one to make sure Niles doesn't know he has eaten the one destined for him. Niles, therefore, is none the wiser and eats his normal brownie still under the impression he will get high, while Frasier cannot believe his eyes when he finally sees the advert for the Seattle Tourist board - they have made Eddie the star with Frasier narrating what Eddie is saying.

Undaunted, he leaves to go out on a date with Natalie after Niles arrives 'high' on his pot brownie. Martin arrives soon after, and Niles believes that the crazy way his father begins acting is just the pot kicking in. It takes a sober Frasier to point out that it's their father that is high, leaving Niles somewhat deflated until his brother points out that he did get their cop father high!. Meanwhile, Frasier is a bit depressed as his date (Natalie) left him midway through the date to meet another guy. Freddie also experiences the same thing and the similarity in incidents help father and son to bond again
