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.
