The Good Father

The Good Father is the first episode of the 2023 sitcom Frasier. It aired on October 12, 2023 on Paramount+.
==Synopsis==
After the loss of his father, Frasier Crane goes back to his alma mater, Harvard University, to give a guest lecture as a personal favor to his Harvard classmate, Alan Cornwall. While in Boston, Frasier visits his son, Frederick Crane, who's working as a firefighter in town. Their relationship has been strained since Frederick had dropped out of Harvard and skipped his grandfather's funeral. Frasier meets Eve, Frederick's roommate, who he mistakes for Frederick's girlfriend, and tries to reconnect with his son, while Olivia, Alan's boss, tries to recruit him to teach at Harvard. Freddy tries to hide his living situation from his father, but ultimately admits that he missed Martin's funeral due to survivor's guilt, having recently lost a fellow firefighter, who was also Eve's boyfriend. Hearing this, Frasier decides to buy Freddy's apartment building and accept the teaching position in the hopes that he can become a bigger part of Freddy's life.
