Plot outline

A heat wave is sweeping Seattle, Frasier is battling the flu and in no mood to help anyone, Sherry is staying over with Martin more frequently, and she and Daphne are finding themselves embroiled in minor clashes over Martin's breakfast. Over the day, the tension between Daphne and Sherry continues to rise: irritated by Sherry's constant undermining of her attempts to get Martin to do his exercises and eat healthier food, Daphne is in a sour enough mood when she receives a phone call from a complete stranger, asking her out on a date. When she finds that Sherry has been giving her phone number to strangers to try and set her up, Daphne is furious at this unwelcome intrusion into her life, and the two women are soon engaged in a heated argument. In the end, Daphne storms out of the apartment, and unable to stay with friends, she is forced to try Niles' apartment, and Niles is thunderstruck when she asks to stay the night. He is more than willing to accommodate Daphne, but his apartment is scorching hot, and following the argument, Daphne reflects that she has been without sex for some time.
