Martin gets high on a pot-laced brownie; Frederick visits the dark side. Frasier's excitement about his son's arrival is diminished when Frederick shows up in shocking goth attire--donning all black, chains and dark makeup. Even worse, his goth girlfriend, Andi, is in town and he only wants to hang out with her. Daphne and Martin try to console Frasier by recalling their own rebellious stages. However, Niles is ashamed when he realizes he was a 'goody two-shoes' his whole life; he sets out to sow his wild oats. Roz hooks Niles up with a pot-laced brownie made by her neighbor. Unbeknownst to him, Martin innocently intercepts the brownie, polishes it off and orders another to replace it before Niles returns. Later, Niles brags to Frasier about his 'high', with only a nibble missing from the brownie. Moments later, Martin comes home, completely stoned. He laughs uncontrollably and talks nonsense. Niles believes that Martin's outrageous behavior is a figment of his own hallucination. Frasier realizes the mix up when Martin refrigerates his pants and dips potato chips in pudding. When Frasier forbids Frederick from spending the weekend with Andi, Frederick leaves in a huff. He later returns home, after getting dumped, and turns to Frasier for advice.

Niles cracks under the pressure of Maris' murder case. Maris is arrested for murdering her Argentinean boyfriend and the police question Niles about his lunch with her that morning. Frasier and Martin laugh it off when Niles fears he's a suspect. Moments later, breaking news reports that Maris' murder weapon was an antique crossbow, which Niles lent to her for a play. After a long night of interrogation, Niles returns home in abnormally good spirits. He's even unaffected by the front page of the paper declaring him as the exhusband who provided the murder weapon. At Caf Nervosa, Nile escapes the entourage of press and Frasier steps in as his spokesperson, accidentally stating that Niles should be 'executed' instead of 'exonerated'. Niles still remains calm and composed, even when Daphne lashes out at him for taking calls from Maris in jail. With Niles bottling up his emotions, Frasier fears he's on the verge of a breakdown. Niles finally cracks when Roz takes the last straw at Caf Nervosa. Feeling suffocated, he starts to disrobe and before long, he's sitting in the corner covered only by the newspaper he's reading. Frasier rushes to the scene, wraps him up and takes him home. After twenty hours of sleep, Niles emerges as his old self and tells Maris off.

Martin fears that he isn't Niles and Frasier's biological father. A family friend from Paris, Leland Barton (guest star David Ogden Stiers) comes to Seattle to visit the Cranes. Martin remembers Leland as a young boy, working for his late wife Helen as a research assistant and following her around like a puppy. Leland instantaneously bonds with Frasier and Niles as they share uncanny similarities. Not only does Leland have the same neurotic tendencies as Niles; he has the same taste in art, music, food and even identical mannerisms as Frasier. Roz is so amazed by the resemblance that she implies that perhaps Leland is Niles and Frasier's biological father. Martin grows painfully jealous and worries that maybe Roz is right, given that Hester did have an affair during their marriage. His worst fears are realized when he sees Leland fathering the boys by reading to Frasier, who is sick in bed, then helping Niles walk when his foot falls asleep. Martin tries to join Leland and the boys in a song about theorems and hypotenuses, but realizes he just doesn't fit in. When Leland's cab arrives, Martin is relieved, but can't let him leave without asking about his past with Hester. All of his fears dissipate when Leland tells Martin that he loved Hester because she accepted his homosexuality. Meanwhile, Daphne and Niles try to come up with a potential name for their not-yet-conceived child to register for a private, pre-kindergarten that has a four-year waiting list. Even though it's a temporary name for a hypothetical child, they agonize over the decision. To end their dispute, Daphne and Niles agree to let Roz choose a name and send it in the application. The school board unanimously denies the application when they read the child's name--Ichabod...Ichabod Crane.
