'Frasier' hadn't been really that good for two years/series prior to this. The eighth was a rocky affair, trying to find its feet once Daphne and Niles got together, while the ninth suffered because there was no real arc to the piece.
In both cases the writing wasn't consistently great.
This tenth series starts here brightly, and although Niles and Daphne being married feels like solving the wrong problem, there are enough nice moments here to enjoy.
So ignore the complete deconstruction of the character of Donny (who they woefully spoilt in the eighth series premiere) when he returns, and Mrs Moon, and just enjoy for once a better than average episode.
