Skyline: A shooting star passes over the skyline.

Plot: Niles is having a rough time after moving into the Shangri-La. He decides to boost his ego by entering the Golden Apron Awards run by the Gourmet Club. He has just one problem - he has to hold a dinner party.

Niles can't hold the party at the Shangri-La, so asks Frasier if he can borrow his apartment. Frasier agrees, but Niles discovers a scratch on the door. The Gourmet Club can be very picky about things like that, so Niles has to go elsewhere. Then he has an idea - hold the party at Maris' beach house whilst she's out of town!!!

At the party, Niles breaks into the beach house. Frasier wants to sit next to radio station owner Claudia Kunock, and Niles has hired Chef Marcel, who is very, very fussy and bad tempered. But their luck runs out when they discover a dead, smelly seal on the beach right outside the house!!!

Meanwhile Martin is flirting with Daphne's friend Pam, much to Daphne's annoyance.
