Frasier suspects that his gorgeous new girlfriend is just using him to get free psychiatric advice.

When Martin sets Frasier up with Duke’s daughter Marie, Frasier fears the blind date will be a bust. But when Marie walks in and she’s gorgeous, Frasier leaps at the chance to spend time with her. Yet Frasier soon discovers that most of their conversations revolve around Marie’s dreams and phobias, and he starts to wonder if she’s only dating him for his psychiatric expertise.

After Marie turns another date into a therapy session, Frasier breaks up with her. Niles encourages Frasier to give Marie a second chance, saying that he’s sure to find other things in common with her. Realizing that Niles has a point, Frasier wins Marie back and they seem happier than ever.

Still, Frasier continues to find himself analyzing Marie, but Niles points out that it’s probably due to the fact that Frasier’s been out of work for a few months and needs to flex his professional muscles. Frasier claims he’s interested in all aspects of Marie, not just her psyche, but after deconstructing one of her dreams, he realizes that their relationship really is more professional than romantic, and he calls it quits.
