Frasier Gotta Have It

Frasier begins a steamy love affair with Caitlin, a free-spirited artist. Whenever they are together they have wonderful sex, but hardly any conversation. Niles tries to get Frasier to admit that this 'relationship' is based solely on sex, but Frasier insists that he has a real future with Caitlin. Martin, Roz and Daphne all share with Frasier their memories of relationships that were steamy but superficial. Niles, of course, tries to make up a story but gets caught. Also, Niles can't get enough of Daphne's story about sunbathing in the nude. Frasier is convinced that he must break up with Caitlin and goes to her loft to tell her. However, after howling at the moon, carnal desires overwhelm....

- Niles scoffs at Frasier's claim that he and Caitlin have something in common:
Niles: The only thing you ywo have in common is the feint impression of the word 'Sealy' on your backside!

- Frasier wonders if Niles even listens to his radio show:
Niles: Of course I listen occasionally but I'm usually busy between 11 and 1.
Frasier: My show's on from 2 to 5!

- Caitlin gets to see Frasier's apartment for the first time, and spies Martin's chair:
Caitlin: Oh my God! This is the coolest chair!!

- Frasier tells his familt that he tried, and failed, to break up with Caitlin:
Frasier: Why? Because I'm Frasier, and I'm a sexaholic!!

- Niles walking out after hearing Daphne's story about sunbathing in the nude.

- Caitlin stuffing her cut off hair in to a pillow

- Frasier tries to explain to Caitlin why he thinks things won't work out between them:
Frasier: I'm basically your stuffy, buttoned down sort of guy, you're a free-spirited, adventurous mouse-painting, moon-howling sort of girl!

Frasier finds himself in a purely physical relationship with free spirited artist Caitlin. which doesn't sit well with his belief that he would only continue to see someone if there was a future in it - if that doesn't sound like much of a plot, you're right. It also doesn't make for a very entertaining episode either, sadly, as the episode struggles to be more than just amusing with only the odd great line here and there - I particularly liked Niles' teasing of his brother about the fact Frasier think he and Caitlin have a future together. I found the final scene where Frasier learns that she stuffs her own hair into pillows, and likes to howl at the moon, a rather woeful conclusion to the episode which is a pity as Rob Greenberg has written some wonderful 'Frasier' episodes in the past but this is sadly the weakest Season 5 episode.
