Niles and his love for Daphne
Niles had a large crush on Daphne for about 6 years. Daphne found out about his crush in the episode 'Back Talk' (Season 7). Frasier told her but had no memory of it because he was on pain killers at the time and fell asleep quickly after he told her. Daphne did not tell Niles about this because Niles was with Mel and Daphne was with Donny. In the Season 7 episode 'Something Borrowed, Someone Blue', Niles had eloped with Mel, Frasier found out that he told Daphne about Niles loving her, and Frasier told Niles about this, and Daphne found out about Frasier telling Niles. Daphne kissed Niles, but refused to leave Donny for him. On her wedding day, Daphne changed her mind and ran off with Niles in Martin's winnebago. In the Season 8 episode 'Taking Liberties', Mel and Niles, after a long period of time, finally divorced. Niles and Daphne got engaged in the Season 9 episode 'The Proposal', and they planned to have a big wedding, but in the Season 10 first episode 'The Ring Cycle', the couple eloped in Reno. They had one child during the series' run, David Crane, who was born in the Season 11 finale episode 'Goodnight Seattle'.
