[edit] Plot outline
It's Daphne's birthday which culminates in everyone giving Daphne her presents - Frasier and Martin buy her a journal, while Niles surprises her with a trip to Hawaii for just the two of them. Daphne's mother's constant moaning leads to Daphne wanting to change her birthday wish.
After the party, Roz does not want to go home as she would be alone as Alice is at her grandma's. This leads to leading to Frasier and Roz spending the evening just shooting the breeze. However, both of them get a shock the next morning when they realise they slept together.
Frasier tries to get Roz to talk about what happened, but she wants to leave as quickly as possible. After listening to Daphne feeling sad about the fact that her father won't be able to give her away at her wedding, Niles has a brainwave - he asks Daphne to take her mother to Hawaii to try and cheer her up. There is a method to his madness: he is planning to fly to England and try and convince Daphne's father to come to Seattle and reconcile with Daphne's mother. Frasier, meanwhile, is worried that Roz's refusal to discuss what happened between them will endanger their relationship so on hearing that Roz has gone to visit her parents in Wisconsin, he decides to fly there and see her. So Martin drops Daphne and her mother off at the airport, followed by Niles, then Frasier.
