Plot:

Sam has been spending a lot of time lately with the Cranes. More specifically, he has been spending a lot of time with Frederick. Each day, Sam arrives at their house a little earlier and leaves a little later. Frasier and Lilith finally tell Sam directly that he shouldn't be spending that much time with their son. Sam understands, but not until after the revelations that Sam likes kids and that Frederick now considers Sam more a father than Frasier. Later, Sam admits to himself that he wants to be a Dad, but doesn't yet have an idea who the mother is/will be. Meanwhile, Rebecca is at another crossroads in her life. She knows that she doesn't want to do the bar shtick for the rest of her life, but is now unsure what she wants to do with her career. Regardless, she goes on one job interview after another, each time dooming herself for failure. Late one evening, Sam dozes off while watching <a href="/title/tt0054692/">Blue Hawaii</a> (1961) on TV. In his dream, Sam gets a message from <a href="/name/nm0000062/">Elvis Presley</a> that Rebecca would be the perfect mother of his child: she's beautiful, loving and a good friend. Sam takes this message to heart and asks Rebecca after she makes an off-handed remark about reevaluating her life, thinking perhaps it would have been better if she settled down. After mulling it over, Rebecca comes to the realization that it really is a good idea and agrees. She's excited, so excited that she forgets about all else around her. Due to circumstances, Rebecca unwittingly walks out of the bar without her dress, but wearing a coat rack. Perhaps Sam made a mistake asking her after all.
