Plot: Frasier runs into Café Nervosa to escape from Poppy. Roz tries to sell him some tickets for a charity event, but he is reluctant. Roz leaves and Niles arrives. Frasier tells him how annoying Poppy is, and Niles thinks his brother may fancy her. Frasier is appalled, and leaves Niles with Poppy who has just arrived. They get talking and hit it off, but Niles still thinks Frasier wants Poppy.

Later Frasier enters his apartment to see a woman using his 'phone. All she's wearing is a towel. She introduces herself as Regan, the new neighbour. She'd locked herself whilst answering the door (she was in the shower, hence the towel) and Martin had bought her over intending to set her up with Frasier. Niles comes in and it is revealed that she goes to his therapy group. Frasier doesn't know this and thinks Niles wants Regan. Now both brothers Crane think the other wants their girlfriends, and after an argument Niles leaves in a huff.

Both brothers accept tickets for the charity event for them and their dates, but at the event both brothers are very suspicious of each other. Frasier confronts Regan and she is upset, and Poppy stands on Niles' foot once too often. Poppy begs Frasier to dance the tango with her, and Niles jumps to conclusions. Will they sort everything out?

Roz loves.....a waiter at the charity event, until he is ordered back to work.
