1) Frasier upstages son on firefighter ride along

• In a topsy-turvy turn of events, it’s actually Dr. Frasier Crane that’s needed to calm down a ‘dire’ situation. Freddy had been called in because a man named Walt had attempted to go in his house using the cat entrance… And gotten stuck!

Walt recognizes Frasier and asks for his assistance, much to chagrin of son Freddy. Upstaged again by his father!

2) Eddie Crane Callback Tease

• Frasier is met by a Dalmatian at the fire station who stares him down the way Eddie used to. Will the Dalmatian become a permanent fixture in future episodes?

3) Frasier overcome by chili spiciness, not emotion

• It appears Frasier is overcome by emotion from his fears of son Freddy heading into the heart of danger… But in reality’s it’s Freddy’s cooking that’s the culprit!

Freddy’s chili has Frasier drinking milk right out of the carton, and you know he preferred a glass any day. A fun twist to end the episode, and a real father and son moment.
