- Dharma worries that Greg over-plans their otherwise healthy sex-life because of such 'scientific patterns' as food-related sex-games after every shuttle launch, her attempts as Abby advises to break his routine fail. The 'ladies' all keep returning to an unsanitary, hazardous, measly Greek restaurant just because waiter Stavros is such a hot stud. Greg tells Ed and Pete he noticed something makes Dharma aloof and is made to believe she must be unfaithful. Now both spouses are needlessly frustrated while trying too hard.—KGF Vissers
- Dharma takes Abby and Kitty to a filthy diner, which has a sexy waiter waiting the tables. The diner is absolutely revolting and smells bad, but the ladies are happy in the presence of this Adonis. Dharma says that she will never cheat on Greg, but she wants to be able to appreciate a handsome man. Kitty says that the waiter has smoky eyes that peer into the depth of her soul and seem to know exactly what she needs. Kitty does admit that the sex has become routine and monotonous with Edward. So, Dharma decides to lend her some tips from her own sex journal with Greg. Jane pretends to choke on her food, just so that she can get the Heimlich maneuver from the waiter.
For the first time in her life, Dharma gets depressed about her sex life when she discovers, while analyzing her sex journal for tips for Kitty, that Greg can't make a move in the bedroom without checking his day planner first. He has sex every 11th day of the month in the shower, fun with food sex every time a shuttle launch takes place or when bird migrate and so on. Dharma starts to observe and keep track of their sex dates, to confirm her suspicions.
Meanwhile, a depressed Greg confides in Pete, who convinces him the only logical explanation for the downturn in his sex life is that Dharma is seeing someone else. Edward guides Greg to continue to perform his duty as a husband and one day the passion in his marriage will return.
Dharma can now predict Greg's sexual actions with uncanny accuracy and is absolutely depressed. She wants her life to be spontaneous and free. Abby says that Greg is only programmed that way to plan every moment of his life, which includes his sex life. It is not his fault. Abby suggests that Dharma uses behavior modification techniques on Greg. If that doesn't work, Abby asks Dharma to love Greg with his flaws.
Dharma meanwhile tries subtle behavior modifications by making herself unbearable. She rubs smelly cheese all over her and eats the most pungent onion available, on days when she knows Greg will have sex with her. Greg still powers through it, with Edward's advice still ringing through his ears and mind. Greg thinks Dharma is cheating on him. He thinks Dharma is doing everything she can to make Greg leave her alone. Even random bar patrons agree with Pete that Dharma seems to be cheating on Greg, after listening to Greg's stories. But Greg refuses to accept that Dharma is cheating on him. He believes that there is a different explanation. Greg returns home to Dharma to have a chat. Dharma believes that Greg has figured out what she is up to and goes in for Greg to "meet someone". Greg is horrified that Dharma might bring out her new lover and leaves the house. Dharma had just changed into a cheer-leading costume to please Greg, as per his schedule. Dharma follows Greg and tells him that she figured out his schedule.
In the end Dharma is OK with it as Greg says he invented the system to try & keep up with her. Turns out Greg was intimidated by Dharma, and this was his way to keep her interested in him. Kitty fulfills her waiter fantasy with Edward.
