A cricket is heard distinctly from within the apartment. Assistant: This is her office. Daphne and Frasier look around. Daphne: So.... Daphne: That's it. Eddie responds to Martin's orders by chasing his tail round and round and round and...
Reset to: Kitchen Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Niles has taken the roast out of the oven. Frasier is wearing an oven mitt for protection, while Martin is holding a trail of dental floss connected to a gecko on the floor. Frasier: Release the gecko. Frasier: That! Frasier: Well, how was your hunting trip? Frasier: You know, Dad... [Martin returns] Were you aware that the male cricket chirps in order to attract the female cricket? He stamps. I saw one of his files by mistake. It's a cricket-predator. Martin: There might be another cricket. Niles said he can't talk about his patients. Niles: He-hey, Dad! Niles: [pulls out of the hug] Ooh, uh, it's a patient. She cannot resist any longer. She opens the magazine just to find a picture of a briefcase and the words "JUST OPEN IT" stamped underneath it. She stares longingly at Niles' briefcase, but reaches for a magazine instead. That evening, Frasier and Martin are sat on the kitchen stools. The chemicals are too dangerous for Eddie. The woman is madly in love with him. This woman is in love with you. [cries] It was all Roz's idea! [places him back into the box]
Martin: Will you be using this floss anymore?

She discovers that this woman, Heather, is in love with Niles. He explains that transference is common among psychiatric patients, but also insists that he cannot discuss any specific case. Daphne, however, is tormented by curiosity, and Roz encourages her to find out more about this woman, even going so far to visit her at her work. This involves another visit into Niles' briefcase, entailing a breach of confidentiality that could jeopardise his entire career if it were known. Martin returns from a fruitless hunting trip, and Frasier is horrified to discover that he has unknowingly brought a cricket with him into the apartment. They cannot catch it, but they can always hear it. Anxious to avoid any solution involving dangerous chemicals, for Eddie's sake, Martin suggests using a gecko as a predator, using floss to pull it back once the hunt is done. The plan works and the gecko eats the cricket, though Frasier and Martin work out that the way it was chirping, it was attracting a mate, and there may be another.
