Plot outline

After spending the night together at Frasier's place, Daphne and Joe try without success to conceal the fact from Frasier and Martin at breakfast. The situation does not bother Martin, but Frasier feels uncomfortable at the idea of them sleeping together under his roof, and he expresses his concern to Daphne. She explains that Joe's house is under construction, so given Frasier's feelings she decides to look for her own place. This seems like a plausible solution, but after Frasier and Martin spend a whole weekend together without her in the flat, they begin to realise the full implications of her decision. Meanwhile, Niles is finding that his separation from Maris is cutting him off from several high-profile social events.
