Frasier soon discovers that Maris is having an affair with her fencing instructor based upon a call by said instructors wife.
Tropes:
- Argentina Is Nazi-Land: Apparently Marta learned to speak German from a German family who showed up in Guatemala "just after the war". Frasier's tone indicates he knows exactly what that implies.
- Bilingual Bonus: Viewers who speak German or Spanish (or both) will catch the misunderstanding between Gunther and Niles several minutes before viewers who only speak English.
- Chandelier Swing: Niles tries this. It almost immediately gives under his weight.
- Malaproper: Marta, the maid of Niles and Maris, has trouble with her pronouns, which causes confusion for Frasier when she asks for "Mrs. Crane" and Marta thinks he meant Niles.
- Suicide as Comedy: Maris apparently once tried to off herself after Frasier questioned the political correctness of veal she was serving for a dinner.
