This episode begins with an embarrassing situation, when Daphne and her boyfriend awake after a torrid night to find that Frasier and Martin are already up and about, and he cannot leave without everyone seeing him and knowing what went on. Daphne makes various attempts to shoo the Cranes out of the main area of the apartment to let her beau escape which do not work in their indended manner. The pair is caught by the father and son, and awkardness ensues. Frasier is unable to deal with the idea of sexual encounters taking place under his roof, citing the example of giggling disturbing his reading time. He discusses his concerns with Daphne, telling her that she is not allowed to entertain gentlemen in her room. Daphne answers him by letting him know that she is going off on vacation for the weekend, and that she will be looking for a new place to live as soon as she gets back. During her time away, viewers are treated to a delightful display of comic sqabbling between Frasier and Martin. First of all, Martin refuses to dress in a way that would be acceptable in front of women, choosing instead to galavant around the house in his undershirt and shorts. Furthermore, when left to cook for himself he makes choices such as tater tots for breakfast, alluding to a subplot of the episode in which Martin has gained at least ten pounds but is in denial, claiming that the washing machine is shrinking his pants and that the scale is broken as he chokes down eclairs. To Martin's credit, Frasier is also behaving in an annoying way by leaving lights on in rooms he is not in, misplacing the remote control, and moving Martin's iconic recliner. These personality clashes escalate until a wild argument breaks out between the two, which is interrupted only by Daphne's arrival. She makes he way through the room, straightening everything in her path effortlessly. It is now that Frasier and Martin truly realize how important Daphne is to their homelives. Frasier talks with Daphne, telling her that he doesn't want her to leave but cannot come to terms with her having relations in his house. Daphne creates an improbable story about how her boyfriend was injured in a war and is unable to engage in sex, and it is only love poems that they are reading to one another late at night, which Frasier gladly accepts in order to keep his home in order.

This episode features a particularly charming scene in which Eddie runs into the living room holding Daphne's boyfriend's underpants in his mouth just as Frasier and Martin walk in to see Daphne trying to sneak him out. Roz also plays a very small but equally charming role in this episode, where she displays her typical tell it like it is wisdom in a scene where Frasier tells her about the morning's excitement and his discomfort.

In this hilarious episode, Frasier is surprised by a blast from his past: Diane, a barmaid at the bar he frequented in his previous days in Boston, Cheers. Furthermore, Diane was also his fiance who left him at the altar many years ago, an incident from which Frasier's heartwounds have never healed. At first Frasier struggles to impress his former lover during a quiet dinner in his home, (accompanied by Martin, Niles, and Daphne) by proudly displaying his awards of accievement and breaking out his most rare and exciting bottle of wine. However, Diane appears to be unimpressed by these displays, for example claiming that she herself has the bottle of wine that Frasier deems his most important on hand at all times. This shell of nonchalance breaks down in time when Diane discusses a new play she has written which is being put on at a local theater and is the reason she is in Seattle. She is upset because her life has fallen apart, as her husband has left her and the backer for her play pulled out at the last minute. Frasier agrees to help her with the financial troubles of her play, and interprets their relationship as one which is soon to restart. Niles warns him about this, and stresses how important it is for him to tell Diane how deeply her past actions have effected him. When it comes time for Frasier to view the play during a special dress rehersal of the play, he is shocked by what he sees. The curtain rases to reveal a set which is shockingly reminiscent of the previously mentioned Cheers from days past. Furthermore, all of the characters have two things in common: they are all characatures of other regulars from the bar, and all of them (at least the male ones) are obsessed with the character modeled after Diane. It is at this point when two important events take place. First, Frasier realizes that Diane is currently romantic with one of the actors. Second, he gets the chance to tell Diane how he feels about their past when he instructs the character modeled after him in how he should feel about the Diane character's leaving him at the altar. Frasier explodes in an emotional torrent and walks out on the rehersal. However, in a scene which is implied to take place muhc later in the day, Frasier meets with Diane once again to say goodbye forever.

This episode had a lack of adorable Eddie moments, aside from the ending where Martin scolds him from chewing on his socks. Furthermore, there was also a very disapointing lack of Roz time.
