[edit] Plot

Roz and Daphne sharing details of their steamy relationships

Frasier begins a steamy love affair with Caitlin, a free-spirited artist. Whenever they are together they have wonderful sex, but hardly any conversation. Frasier thinks that she may be the one, but realises they have nothing in common after Niles makes a few remarks about Frasier's fling. Niles tries to get Frasier to admit that this 'relationship' is based solely on sex, but Frasier insists that he has a real future with Caitlin. Frasier begins to obsess about this, and wonders if he should carry on with the relationship. Martin, Roz and Daphne all share with Frasier their memories of relationships that were steamy but superficial. Niles, of course, tries to make up a story but gets caught. Also, Niles can't get enough of Daphne's story about sunbathing in the nude. Frasier is convinced that he must break up with Caitlin and goes to her loft to tell her. However, after howling at the moon, carnal desires overwhelm Frasier again.

[edit] Quotes

Niles scoffs at Frasier's claim that he and Caitlin have something in common:

Niles: The only thing you two have in common is the faint impression of the word Sealy on your backside!

Frasier wonders if Niles even listens to his radio show:

Niles: Of course I listen occasionally but I'm usually busy between 11 and 1.
Frasier: My show's on from 2 to 5!

Caitlin gets to see Frasier's apartment for the first time, and spies Martin's chair:

Caitlin: Oh my God! This is the coolest chair!

Frasier tells his family that he tried, and failed, to break up with Caitlin:

Frasier: Why? Because I'm Frasier, and I'm a sexaholic!

Frasier tries to explain to Caitlin why he thinks things won't work out between them:

Frasier: I'm basically your stuffy, buttoned down sort of guy, you're a free-spirited, adventurous mouse-painting, moon-howling sort of girl!
