Another drizzly day in Seattle brings out the worst in Frasier. First, he flippantly refuses Roz’s request to emcee a local hospital event; then, he encourages one of his callers to move out of “soggy Seattle” -- a snide remark that angers die-hard residents and makes Frasier’s name mud with hometown columnist Derek Mann.

Practically banned from the community by Mann’s scorching column, Frasier begs for help from his co-worker at the station, Father Mike. Although Father Mike dismisses the response to Frasier’s on-air gaffes, Frasier continues to receive nasty calls and voodoo dolls.

Now desperate to redeem himself in the eyes of his fellow Seattleites, Frasier pleads for the chance to emcee the hospital event he once scorned. Armed with religious jokes from Father Mike, Frasier flubs his lines and “bombs” with the audience. The next day, however, Frasier has a chance to clear his name when a promiscuous councilman steals the headlines.
