Frasier fears senility is just around the corner when he finds himself becoming forgetful about everything from Roz’s name to his favorite piano tunes. He knows his absent-mindedness is linked to the aging process, and his family’s jokes about the approach of middle age further depress him.

To take his mind off his troubles, Frasier goes shopping with Martin and Daphne, but cringes when Martin steers him toward “comfortable” clothing options. Frasier wanders off on his own, and becomes smitten with Carrie, an attractive young sales associate who shows an interest in him.

After heavy contemplation and some encouraging words from Niles, Frasier decides to pursue a relationship with Carrie. But when he returns to the store, Carrie rebuffs his advances, informing Frasier that she is past her “father complex” and no longer interested in older men.
