Ep 8. Rooms With a View (2)

In the second part of the two-part episode titled "Rooms With a View" in season 10 of Frasier, the Crane family continues to deal with their new living situation. Frasier and Niles are staying in the elegant Montana apartment temporarily, while their father, Martin, is recovering from a gunshot wound at their old apartment. Meanwhile, Daphne and her fiancé Donny are also staying at the Montana due to a water leak in their apartment.

As the episode begins, Frasier is enjoying his morning routine in the Montana apartment, complete with his favorite coffee, jazz music, and a stunning view of the city. However, his morning is disrupted when he receives a call from the real estate agent, who informs him that the buyer of his old apartment wants to back out of the deal. Frasier is thrilled at the news and immediately decides to move back to his old place once Martin recovers.

Meanwhile, Niles is struggling to adapt to the Montana's modern amenities, including an automated toilet that he cannot seem to figure out. He enlists the help of his son, Frederick, who shows him how to use it and helps him adjust to life in the luxurious apartment.

As the day goes on, the Crane family starts to feel claustrophobic in the Montana apartment, with everyone vying for space and privacy. Martin, in particular, is struggling with the confined living situation and decides to take matters into his own hands by attempting to bribe the building's superintendent to speed up the repairs in their old apartment.

In a humorous subplot, Frasier and Niles become obsessed with the idea of creating the perfect cocktail for their upcoming cocktail party at the Montana. They spend hours experimenting with different ingredients and techniques, even enlisting the help of a mixologist, but cannot seem to find the perfect concoction.

As the episode comes to a close, the Crane family reaches a breaking point with their living situation, culminating in a hilarious scene where they all try to cram into the tiny powder room to escape each other's company. However, despite their frustrations, they ultimately learn to appreciate each other and their unique quirks, and find a way to make their temporary home work for them.
