What a relief - Niles and Daphne's marriage is stable, at least for the time being. They're close enough to count as one entity in this episode, a state reserved for long-standing sit-com couples. It would be a shame for this to be a permanent change, because the two personalities are good on their own. But I have faith that the writers know better. They've made good choices until this point, so why change now?
Where was Eddie today? I suppose he was taking a vacation, or maybe filming a movie. I wonder what crazy adventures he was getting himself into....
