Match Game
Daphne and Niles prepare for their baby’s arrival, and Frasier looks for love. A couple named Brad and Cindy from Lamaze class “guilts” Niles and Daphne into hiring a doula named Harvest to assist Daphne during labor. Harvest lays out her “New Age” childbirth program, complete with a drummer and a masseuse – but absolutely no painkillers. Roz urges Daphne to ignore Harvest’s insistence on a drug-free, natural delivery.
Meanwhile, Frasier reluctantly joins “Charlotte’s Web,” a new dating service he stumbled across in his office building. Charlotte, a professional matchmaker, brags about her extensive database of qualified singles, and promises to find him the perfect mate. With nothing to lose – except Charlotte’s $10,000 fee – Frasier signs up. Yet after a string of disastrous dates, Frasier discovers Charlotte’s “web” is pretty flimsy. Her “huge” database consists of the five women he’s already met!
When Frasier demands a refund, Charlotte tearfully admits she’s already spent his money on her budding business. Moved by her plight, Frasier invites her to dinner. Later, Harvest stops by with a video of Cindy enduring an excruciatinglabor. Daphne fires Harvest, telling her, “I’m having my baby the way God intended: in a hospital, numb from the waist down!” That night in bed, Frasier can’t stop thinking about Charlotte, even though he knows she’s already got a boyfriend.
