Skyline: The lift travels up the Seattle Space Needle.

Plot: Niles has become grumpy, what over Daphne and Eric dating and his marriage in a rut. Frasier suggests role play, but this does not go well. Maris throws him out and goes to Arizona to think about her future.

Niles spends the night at Frasier's and is heard crying himself to sleep when Daphne and Eric come back and Daphne goes to bed after their romantic kiss goodnight. Next morning Daphne keeps talking about Eric, much to Niles' annoyance.

A few days later Niles and Daphne are at Maris' house preparing to welcome her back. They are soaked so Daphne changes into a night-gown. She then tells Niles she and Eric have broken up. Niles' feelings for her are getting stronger by the minute, and when Maris phones to say she's stuck in Arizona and can't get back until tomorrow morning, anything could happen.....
