(Frasier's POV)

"Punched in the face of a man now dead!"

Why does no one understand the significance? Even my family! How can they not comprehend what happened to me? Me! And the thought that Maris of all people

(I use the term loosely, for I've never thought of her as fully human) could kill someone! She's never been my favorite person (and that, I dare say, is a major

understatement).

I know that I dissuaded Niles in the past for his attraction to Daphne, but I love them both and I'm so happy that they found each other. And I'm going to be an

uncle! But more than that, I'm very happy that Maris and Niles are no longer related in any way.

And now that…. Thing… has wormed her way back into all of our lives! I was hoping to never see her again, but that won't happen. Thanks to Maris Crane, I've

been punched in the face of a man….

Now dead.
