- TriviaThe dog who jumps on Niles' lap is actually Enzo, the son of Moose who normally plays Eddie. In Niles' apartment, it's again Moose playing Eddie. This is the start of Moose and Enzo sharing the role of Eddie due to Moose's aging and tiring easily. Eventually, Enzo takes over the role permanently.
- GoofsThe characters refer to Martin's fear that Niles wishes to hurt him as being an expression of the unconscious. While it may be understandable for Martin to use this term, as a lay person, it is not so when Frasier uses it at the end of the episode, in the hallway, when trying to explain his rude behavior toward Martin to his love interest who has appeared as the elevator door opens.
The correct term would be the subconscious, not the unconscious.
- Crazy creditsWhen the title "Frasier" (in orange letters) and the usual silhouette of Seattle are on screen, a blimp sails in the sky.

Featured review
Superb from start to finish
This episode is one of my most favorite of the entire series. We get stand-out performances from the entire cast, save for Peri Gilpin who, as Roz Doyle, has such a minor role you'd think she wasn't in the episode.
In this episode, Frasier remains out of work and, because he is home all day and frustrated with being unemployed, his relationship with Martin sours. They get on each other's nerves being around each other all the time. The solution they decide upon is Martin moving in with Niles temporarily, which Niles only agrees to because Daphne would be moving in too. But, with Niles' apartment so filled with stairs, Daphne announces she must tender her resignation because she is seemingly not needed for Martin's therapy anymore.
Of course, every character has different motives at play and things are going to go awry. There's so much to love about this episode.
