Plot: We open with Daphne talking to a therapist about anger. Daphne flashes back to tell the story of why she's there.....

Donny has surprised her with a bridal shower, and Niles was chosen to distract her whilst Donny prepared it. Daphne has put on her good dress, one that Niles had given her. Donny then announces that he has secretly flown her favourite brother over to see her. But it's not Stephen - Donny made a mistake and invited Simon, her least favourite, by mistake.

Simon is an oaf and accidentally spills some wine over Daphne's dress after telling everyone things about when she was a kid. Holly, a girl Frasier wants, is keen to get to know Simon better, as does Roz. Later on, when Daphne invites Holly to see Frasier, Holly goes for Simon instead. Frasier blames Daphne.

A couple of nights later, Daphne is home alone. She's going to take a bath before meeting Donny's parents. Suddenly, Frasier comes home - it seems he's caught Simon's cold. Then Martin comes home to watch the game. Then Simon arrives with a bunch of his friends. Then Roz arrives - Simon has forgotten their date. Daphne is getting more and more stressed by now.

After coming back from the laundry room, Daphne notices her dress is ruined. No-one else is noticing - they're watching the game - and then Donny arrives with his parents. Add to that the neighbour who complains to Daphne about her washing.....Daphne snaps and throws it off the balcony, causing a car crash in the street.

Back in the present, Daphne then wonders - who does she love, Donny or Niles?
