When Frasier and Niles learn that Martin is planning on proposing to Sherry, their insecurity about the whole ordeal leads them to discover an interesting thing that Sherry was supposedly hiding.
Tropes:
- Comically Missing the Point: Frasier, when Daphne finds an engagement ring in Martin's room:Daphne: I found a ring in your father's underwear drawer.
Frasier: (in shock) What on earth would leave a ring around his underwear drawer? - Everyone Knew Already: Martin was actually informed by Sherry that she was married previous times before. He neglected to put his sons in the loop about it due to them having no business knowing about it.
- Locked Out of the Loop: Martin deliberately kept everyone else in the dark about Sherry's previous marriages, mostly on account of the fact that they had no business knowing about it.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Frasier rounds on Niles for hiring a detective to snoop into Sherry's past rather than just letting his father be happy.
