The Unkindest Cut Of All
After Eddie fathers a litter of illegitimate pups, Frasier goes behind Martin’s back to get the dog neutered.
Frasier’s next-door neighbor, Mrs. Greenway, accuses Eddie of impregnating her precious Phoebe, and presents the Cranes with a box of Eddie’s of fspring. Fed up with Martin’s habit of postponing the ine vitable, Frasier takes Eddie to the veterinarian to be neutered.
Just as Eddie is about to go “under the knife,” Martin arrives and chastises Frasier for going behind his back. The two become embroiled in a heated discussion, which allows Eddie to beat a hasty retreat.
That night, while on lookout for the panicked pooch, Frasier tells Martin that his inability to bring Eddie to the vet is a metaphor for his own feelings of powerlessness. The next day, Frasier, Martin, and Niles give brotherly support to Eddie as he faces his fate.
