Roz encounters Frasier reading the classifieds at Caf Nervosa and gives him some advice on hunting in the personals. In actuality he is searching for a housekeeper since he is uncomfortable asking Daphne to pick up after him now that she is dating Niles. Roz persuades Frasier to place a Christmas wrapping paper order in support of a fundraiser for her daughter's school and rushes off to continue in the race for top seller. Niles enters the caf flustered from an encounter with his soon to be ex-wife Mel. As payback before granting him a divorce, she is subjecting Niles to various episodes of social humiliation. Most recently, she would not permit him to answer his cell phone while it rang to the tune of 'La Cucaracha' at the funeral of a Colonel high on the social status ladder. It occurs to them that the Colonel's English butler is now available for employment and they each race to reach their cell phones. A reminder from Frasier that a butler would ease Daphne's workload results in Niles refraining from the pursuit. Frasier enjoys the pampering provided by his new butler, Ferguson, and his assistance in favorably positioning Frasier for a recently available seat on the Opera Guild board. Ferguson and Daphne share a moment in the kitchen comparing memories of England. Daphne gives Ferguson a word of advice that he does not need to maintain the formal ceremony around Martin. Ferguson explains he likes to maintain professionalism to establish the line between a family and it's servant. Daphne understands the innuendo he is making of her relationship with Niles and assures him that she and Niles are in love. Ferguson expresses his skepticism about an employee/employer relationship.

Frasier is psyched to learn that his neighbor, Regan, is no longer seeing her boy friend, but isn't sure whether he should ask her out, since every time he does, he makes a fool out of himself. In the mean time, after learning Donny's best man can't throw his bachelor party, Frasier volunteers to host the bash. Over at Caf Nervosa, Frasier and Roz are shocked when they see Niles' wife Maris, who has put on a lot of weight. Apparently, Maris is so upset over Niles' romance with her plastic surgeon, Mel, she's been eating everything insight, and spreading nasty rumors about Mel's medical skills. Later, Frasier is embarrassed when Regan spots him buying an X- rated newspaper in which he hopes to find an ad for a bachelor party stripper. Martin steps in and hires a stripper named Dinah to come over and audition for Frasier. Knowing Daphne thinks Frasier is throwing Donny a Grated bachelor party, Frasier tries to hide Dinah's identity. To his dismay, he accidentally gets handcuffed to the stripper, then bumps into Regan, just as Maris shows up to talk with Niles. Cornered, Frasier explains everything to Regan and Daphne, while Dinah surprises everyone by asking Frasier out.

An erroneous report that Frasier has died motivates him to do a makeover on his life. A fender bender sends Seattle's favorite radio shrink to the emergency room, where Frasier' s identity is confused with a different patient who later dies of a heart attack. After the press mistakenly announces Frasier's demise, he decides it's time to pursue the goals he's been putting off. Among them: running the Seattle Marathon--a dream cut short when he sprains his ankle while warming up for his first jog a round the block. As part of his new 'seize the day 'mentality, Frasier encourages Niles to ask out Maris' pretty plastic surgeon, Dr. Melinda 'Me l' Karnovsky. Yet when Niles stops by with Mel to pick up a pair of opera tickets, Frasier senses that she is just as controlling as Maris. Still, Frasier's 'death' motivates him to consider what changes he can make that will positively impact his future. For starters, he decides to pursue his pretty neighbor, Regan. Even though they had a disastrous first date, Frasier grabs a bottle of wine and knocks on her door, hoping she'll give him a second chance at romance.
