Over coffee at Cafe Nervosa, Niles poses an interesting question: After a year in Seattle, is Frasier happy? The query leads the brothers into a fascinating conversation about their lives, although Frasier is evasive about answering Niles’s question directly.

As their discussion continues, they’re joined by Roz. She’s there to meet a date w ho, a s it turns out , is only interested in converting her to his religious faith. Daphne and Martin wander into the coffee house, where Martin proceeds to pick a fight with everyone before he gets up to leave.

Later, a somber Martin returns to the cafe to apologize, and when Frasier asks if there’s something wrong, he learns that nobody remembered his father’s birthday. Mortified, Niles and Frasier invite Martin to dinner. As the group heads home, Frasier lingers and reconsiders Niles’s question of happiness, realizing that he is, indeed, content.
