Well you don't tell the person being cheated on, you confront the person who's doing the cheating — didn't they teach you anything at Harvard?

CONTINUITY

  • In the credits, Niles gives Maris a rose when she is in the tank. A few episodes earlier, however, Niles had a fight with Maris and he said he couldn't buy her roses because she was allergic.

ERRORS

  • Niles states that he drove to the Oregon border check and that he had fruit in the car and had to turn back. However, there is no Oregon border check between Washington and Oregon. The closest Oregon border check is between Oregon and California.
