|ShortSummary=Frasier is planning his Victorian Christmas party at home, and is trying to keep it a secret at KACL, having only invited Roz out of his work colleagues. He has also invited [[Minor characters on Frasier#Cam Winston|Cam Winston]], deciding to call their feud to a temporary halt. Daphne is having an awkward time, as Frasier does not remember what he said under the influence of his painkillers, and Niles does not yet realize that she knows his feelings. Niles, meanwhile, has to offer his condolences in person to [[Maris Crane|Maris]] after her old gardener [[Minor characters on Frasier#Yoshi|Yoshi]] dies, but Frasier advises him not to tell Mel. She eventually finds out and is very angry, so Niles does his best to talk her round. Frasier's Christmas party is a disaster, and it does not take long for him to find out why: Cam Winston is holding a rival party in his apartment, and poaching all Frasier's guests. Daphne panics when she learns that Niles and Mel have broken up, and still more when she overhears Frasier in the kitchen advising Niles to "make his feelings clear to her", not knowing that he means Maris. However, when Niles doesn't confess his feelings but instead reconciles with Mel, Daphne is surprised at how upset she is.

|ShortSummary=Roz is going on holiday, and desperate to avoid having her replaced by Chuck Ranberg (who has a distracting [[Speech disorder|speech impediment]]), Frasier decides to hire someone from outside KACL. He appoints a woman from a community outreach program called Mary Thomas ([[Kim Coles]]), who is initially reluctant to speak during the broadcast, but soon pitches in with folksy, jovial advice of her own. She soon becomes very popular. Frasier is upset and wants Roz to return, but is worried about appearing bigoted because Mary is [[Black people|black]]. Things get worse when she ends up being promoted to Frasier's co-host. Meanwhile, Daphne is injured during Niles' demonstration of his new skills at [[kickboxing]]. Niles insists on doing all Daphne's household chores until she has fully recovered. Martin decides to take advantage of the fact that, until now, his son had no idea what these chores were.

|ShortSummary=Frasier is very excited about the prospect of being elected "Corkmaster" of his local [[wine]] club, which he has asked Niles to nominate him for. However, Mel manipulatively persuades Niles to run against his brother for the position. At the meeting, the vote is tied and, a wine-tasting [[tiebreaker]] overseen by the outgoing corkmaster ([[Anthony Heald]]) sees Niles narrowly win. Frasier is gracious in defeat, until he discovers that Mel provided the impetus for Niles' decision to stand. Meanwhile, Martin has embarked on an affair with Claire Wojadubakowski ([[Anita Gillette]]), an old friend whose husband Stan died a few weeks before. As Martin and Stan were close, he is feeling guilty over this, and endeavors to conceal the fact from Frasier. Niles invites Mel to Sunday brunch with the rest of the family so they can get to know her better, only to learn everyone else hates her and think she's as spiteful and dominating towards him as Maris was.
