If one could point to an episode where Frasier truly became a part of the cast, it's this one. Ironically, it's all about Frasier's anxiety about being left out.
Frasier is going through a tough time, and Diane asks Sam to let him tag along on the gang's fishing trip. The guys haze Frasier by sending him on a "Snipe Hunt," which horrifies Diane. Everything gets thrown for a loop when it turns out Frasier likes it! Or does he?
Sam seems genuinely suprised when Diane tells him that Frasier thinks of him as a friend ("What a boo-bootiful guy") and feels a bit of remorse. But Frasier isn't the rube Sam thinks he is...
This where Frasier truly comes into his own as a character, rather than just The Other Boyfriend. This is the first time we see Frasier's manic energy and bombastic delivery that will become part of his character. He's still the bar's nerd, but the guys won't underestimate him from now on.
There's not much of a subplot, but any trivia nut can relate to Coach and Carla's dilemma. Eventually you'll run out of stumpers...
