"Frasier" The Maris Counselor (TV Episode 1998) - IMDb.
Maris is arrested for the murder of her boyfriend. The press goes wild when they find out that Niles inadvertently loaned her the crossbow that was used as the murder weapon. Maris is arrested for the murder of her boyfriend.
Maris makes only two onscreen "appearances": once in the episode "Voyage of the Damned" when her shadow is seen through a shower curtain (she is spoken to but makes no reply), and again in "Rooms with a View", where she appears in Niles' memory, almost completely covered by bandages after surgery.
Maris eventually reunites with Niles, but immediately has an affair with their marital therapist, Dr. Bernard Shenkman. In 1998. Niles finally files for divorce.
At a social event held by Frasier, Mel finally pushes Niles to the limit; Niles publicly disowns "this sham of a marriage", and the two are quickly divorced. Mel is humiliated and does not appear again in the series after this.
He exhorts Niles to help him resist temptation, particularly when she goes to dinner with them wearing a very revealing new dress. Ironically, after getting drunk, it is Niles and Lilith who sleep together in her hotel room.
Maris and Niles' marriage definitively ends in this episode as Maris cheats on Niles with Schenkman.
Later in Cheers, Frasier marries Lilith Sternin (Bebe Neuwirth) and has a son, Frederick.
Daphne is pregnant, and she and Niles are keen to make an official announcement to the family over dinner.
Fran is coaching Niles in his unappreciated courtship of C.C. Finally Niles calls her pathetic and lonely after which the Sheffields find them in bed together.
The baby that Niles and Daphne have at the end of the show is not a result of a real life pregnancy of Jane Leeves, the actress who plays Daphne. However, she was pregnant earlier in the show. In season 8 the actress got pregnant and it was simply written into the show as a weight gain.
Although Cheers ended ambiguously with regard to Frasier and Lilith's marriage, at the beginning of the spin-off series Frasier, their divorce had been finalized, with Lilith gaining custody of Frederick and remaining in Boston while Frasier has moved back to his hometown of Seattle.
In The Fight Before Christmas, Niles and Mel briefly break up after Frasier lets it slip that Niles had a meeting with Maris to console her over the loss of a friend. However, the two reconcile at the end of the episode.
There are ways for the reboot to work, like flipping Frasier's original premise, but the series finale ended everyone's story perfectly. Niles and Daphne started a family, Roz was promoted to KACL station manager, and Martin remarried.
"Back Talk" has the unenviable task of bringing to a close a six-and-a-half year running gag that became the series' most prominent storyline. To reveal Niles' feelings for Daphne while still allowing the situation to simmer unresolved for several episodes.
Unlike many other series where characters' pregnancies were written in to accommodate the actress becoming pregnant in real life, this was not the case with Roz. Hers was purely a storyline invention, Peri Gilpin was not pregnant in real life.
"Something Borrowed, Someone Blue" is the twenty-third and twenty-fourth episode and was the final episode in season 7 of the American sitcom Frasier. The episode aired on May 18, 2000 on NBC.
At the end of the episode, the voice over the intercom in the plane says "Welcome to Chicago," indicating that Frasier was in fact on his way to Chicago, not San Francisco, because the chance he was taking was trying to win back Charlotte (Laura Linney).
The pair never got together because Frasier and Roz were fundamentally different people with radically opposite interests. Frasier delighted in the high-society pursuits of opera and great literature, while Roz partook in the less sophisticated pastimes of bars and Bruce Springsteen concerts.
One member of Frasier's cast received more fan mail than anyone else: Eddie the dog!
