Frasier's radio show is receiving very few calls, and Niles has been losing patients and arguing with Daphne.

They all go to the house determined to have a relaxing time, but once there Frasier has a nightmare in which he has murdered Niles and is married to Daphne.

The three of them all end up in the kitchen in the middle of the night arguing, and it falls to Martin to sort them out.
