      A panicked Frasier calls Niles over to the apartment and says that he has committed a crime. He explains the series of events that led up to this. When Frasier was overcome by a coughing fit, Roz took over the show and advised a caller to seek counseling to deal with kleptomania, which she described as being the result of someone needing the thrill of stealing to deal with the emptiness in his or her life. Frasier congratulated her on knowing what to say, but Roz said that it was easy because he is so predictable. While looking through some old photographs, Ronee remarked that Frasier hadn't changed in ten years. This prompted him to grow jealous of the excitement in the lives of his loved ones (Martin's engagement and Niles and Daphne's impending parenthood). Frasier then went to help an elderly neighbor, Opal, change a lightbulb. After she commented on his routine and compared him to a comfortable old shoe, he stole a small box from her for the thrill. However, he now feels guilty and seeks Niles' help to return it. They sneak into Opal's apartment, only to have her whole family show up for a surprise party. To make matters worse, Frasier learns that the item he stole was Opal's bronze medal from the 1936 Olympics. Frasier must distract the guests and try to think of an excuse to get Niles up a ladder to return the medal before anyone knows it is missing.moreless

Martin sneaks into Frasier's office and scares him by coming up behind him with one of Frasier's masks over his face. Frasier does not find this amusing, so Martin repeatedly teases him about being a "fuddy-duddy." Frasier decides to retaliate for the prank. He tells Martin that he is leaving the apartment, then puts on the clown costume and rings the doorbell. When Martin comes out to answer it, Frasier jumps out, wielding a cleaver. Martin collapses and suffers a mild heart attack. Frasier feels incredibly guilty about his actions, and is humiliated in the waiting room when the nurse reads off an account of what happened. Martin recovers quickly and returns home, but doesn't want to tell Ronee about his health crisis. He fears that she will think of him as an old man. When he finally breaks the news, she is nonplussed. She remarks that his serious behavior caused her to think he was going to break up with her or propose.

Although he is in the midst of a dry spell and desperately wants to go through with it, he realizes it is wrong. He stops by before the show to share his decision, and Nanny G asks him to go down to the prop room to talk.

Daphne believes that she has everything under control, but things quickly begin to unravel. Alice writes her name in crayon on the painting. Daphne remains calm, and gives Roz the name of a man whom Niles uses to restore artwork. However, the game hens catch fire in the meantime. The caterers are too busy to replace them, so Daphne must turn to Frasier for help. He comes over to assist with the food preparation, but must hide in the pantry whenever Niles comes in the kitchen so that his role will remain a secret. Frasier becomes angry when he overhears Niles and others complimenting the food and saying how much better off they are without Frasier's involvement. Mike Shaw, the artist responsible for the painting, shows for the party after earlier declining his invitation. He doesn't care for the stuffy guests, and decides to go upstairs and watch pay-per-view boxing with Mrs. Moon.

Martin arrives to bring Frasier some dishes, and winds up having to pose as Shaw for the other guests. Roz asks Daphne to stall the unveiling because the art restorer is painfully slow. Niles insists that dinner must be served immediately. He discovers Frasier, and they begin to argue, leading to more chaos. Daphne tries her best to salvage the evening, but an unexpected event prompts her to give up.

Frasier believes he has found a way to back out of his promise after he learns that Daphne had already made her own deal with God.

However, he winds up getting on the surgeon's nerves by questioning his approach to the operation. Martin tries to act as though everything is fine so that he doesn't have to deal with the fear and uncertainty of the situation. Roz tries to help the terrified Daphne stay calm. She refuses to think of other things, stating that she has no future until she knows that Niles is all right.

Daphne grows more and more tense as they await word on the surgery. When Martin and Frasier repeatedly bicker about a candy bar stuck in the vending machine, Daphne smashes the machine with a fire extinguisher.
