Frazier begins to realize that the years are creeping up on him. While in a department store he meets a pretty young sales clerk. She is half his age and is attracted to him. He is really torn because he thinks he may become the object of ridicule. The way this plays out is really touching and real. I thought the writing was very good and the characters, including the young woman, were well portrayed.

The whole point of this 'Frasier' spin-off was to develop the character further, and this episode does that very well, with the radio shrink left pondering whether he is actually attracted to a young sales clerk, or just having a midlife crisis.
There's lots of lovely moments here, and one thing I have enjoyed in these early episodes is how integral the Frasier/Martin relationship. That seemed to drift away a bit as the show went on, sadly.
It's not a loud and bombastic episode like some have been during the first series, there's no iconic scene, but for sheer heart and humour then this episode gets a big tick from me.
