Eddie got a job as a Penguin for which he has to go to another state. He wants Carla to visit but she keeps on postponing it and he thinks that it is because she is ashamed of him. But the truth is that she is afraid of flying. Frasier comes in to help her and the rest of people with flying phobia, but becomes scared in the process himself.

Not a memorable episode. The whole thing with Eddie was pretty boring. Just as the side story about the review where people think Rebecca had to sleep with the reviewer. I didn't laugh even once there. The only thing that saves the episode from complete sucking and brings some laughs is Frasier.

And this week's Season Six sight gag is... Eddie as a penguin! Yes, former Bruins goalie Guy "Edward" LeBec joins the Wonderful World Of Ice as a Penguin, perfect for easy confusion with Pittsburgh's hockey team. And for unknown reasons he leaves the job interview still wearing his costume, drives to his wife's workplace, waddles down the stairs and walks in to surprise everyone with a hilarious visual reveal!

Funny stuff.

George Wendt directs this stinker of an episode, but not even "NORM!" can save it from crashing and burning. Carla develops a fear of flying so we can have a plot line this week and Frasier volunteers to help her overcome it. The scenes on the plane are coma-inducing... there's nothing interesting or engaging about them in any way. Carla overcomes her fear but Frasier develops his own phobia, in an uninteresting ironic twist that will have you laughing for seconds. Sorry to be so harsh on this episode but it's definitely one of the worst of the season, and watching it again it seems even worse than before. There are a couple good laughs here but little else.
