[edit] Plot
Niles and Martin enter Frasier's apartment with Niles lamenting the fact that he has made Maris angry for respecting her wishes not to celebrate her 40th birthday in any way. He comes to the decision that a big costume ball is the answer. Frasier, meanwhile, is searching the apartment for a book he has to return to the station manager about the history of the English theatre. Martin mentions that Daphne was looking for something to send her to sleep, and should ask her when she comes in. Feeling impatient, Frasier gingerly enters Daphne's room and spies his book on her bedside table. After picking it up, he can't help but start looking at the rest of Daphne's belongings having never been in there before. Just as he picks up a bottle of pills, Daphne comes in and demands to know what he is doing. Frasier hurridly apologises and rushes out. The whole incident turns Daphne very hostile against Frasier but he eventually apologises and she forgives him.
However, when Frasier rediscovers the bottle of pills he accidentally took, he realises she will miss them so seizing the moment when Daphne is about to give Martin his physical therapy, he once again enters Daphne's toom to return them. Just as he does, Daphne re-enters after Martin refuses to do them leaving Frasier to rush into the closet to hide. Daphne then starts to undress for a shower and as Daphne moves around her room, Frasier keeps trying to get out but ends up behind her bathroom door as Daphne gets in the shower. Daphne then says "What are you doing?! Get out! That's disgusting !" and Frasier rushes out from behind the door to see Eddie drinking from the toilet, before running out. Daphne considers quitting so Frasier decides to buy her a car to stop her leaving.

[edit] Memorable quotes
- Niles wonders how to make it up with Maris:
Martin: When your mother got mad at me, I'd just grab her, bend her backwards and give her a kiss that made her glad she was a woman.
Niles: I can't do that with Maris. She has abnormally rigid vertebrae - she'd snap like a twig.
- Frasier offers some advice to Niles over Maris:
Frasier: I know she's a bit touchy about her age - even though it's not the first time she's turned 40
- Frasier asks Niles how he managed to get Maris to forgive him:
Niles: I sat her down, looked deeply into her eyes and said Here are the keys to your new Mercedes.
- Frasier doesn't approve of this gesture:
Frasier: I happen to think that bribery is the wrong way for couples to resolve their conflicts.
Niles: And during which of your failed marriages did you hone that theory
