Plot outline

Having spent the night with Charlotte, Frasier is very pleased with himself. However, his good mood disappears when, while driving her to the station to catch a train to Portland, she tells him that in three weeks she will be moving back home to Chicago. Neither wants a long-distance relationship, so they are compelled to consider breaking up before things get more serious. In the midst of this conversation, they miss the train, so Frasier drives to the next station. Owing to his over-careful driving, they miss it again, and then the car breaks down on the way to the next station, leaving them stranded in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, they find the house of an experienced car mechanic and his family, but they turn out to be rather eccentric.

Meanwhile, in Frasier’s absence, Niles is left to organise the entertainment for Martin’s bachelor party, and Roz has found him a stripper. It is unfortunate for Niles that she is coming round to be interviewed on the same day as Daphne’s new nanny, while the stripper is confused as Martin’s new physiotherapist.
