Frasier: I got the idea last night when we bumped into Jean and Hollis Ashley at the symphony, I've always wanted to get to know them better. Niles: Me too, they're such a charming couple: they remind me of Maris and me when we were happy. [pours himself a drink] Frasier: [doorbell] Really? I must have been sick that day! Frasier answers the door: It's Roz wearing an elegant long dress. She is carrying a red dress in a bag. Frasier: [delighted] Oh, well Roz... Roz: Thank you. Frasier: Is that your dry cleaning? Roz: No, it's Daphne's. Alice spit up on her dress so I had to have it dry-cleaned for her. I also had to buy her new shoes and detail her car, I've never seen a kid so sick! Daphne: [enters from bedroom in dressing gown] Hey Roz, you look gorgeous. Roz: How much time do we have? Daphne: Twenty minutes. I better get changed. Niles: Where are you going?

SUMMARY:
Frasier decides to hold a dinner party, and plans it with Niles. When his invitees the Walburts ring back to accept the invitation, the answering machine takes the message, and Frasier and Niles hear the couple talking about them before they realize they are still connected. This leads the brothers to worry that their friends see them rather like a married couple themselves.
