- Frasier and Martin hire a new housekeeper that Martin likes, but she turns out to be hopeless at work. Meanwhile, Niles keeps beating impossible odds and worries that it's a bad thing.
- Frasier and Martin try to find a new housekeeper to replace Daphne. They set up interviews, but Martin becomes irritated that Frasier nitpicks and isn't happy with any candidate. Finally, a woman named Trish Hainey shows up (an hour late), and Martin immediately takes a liking to her when he learns that she is a Sonics fan like him. While Frasier doesn't think she's reliable, Martin insists on making the final decision and picks Trish. However, on her first day, Martin finds her incredibly tardy because she rarely shows up for work and always goes out for personal errands. Because Martin had to convince Frasier to trust his judgment, he covers for Trish and cleans the apartment himself so Frasier can't gloat at him. One day, Frasier comes back early while Martin, in Trish's absence, cleans the apartment. He pretends that Trsh has become upset and locked herself in the bathroom. While he pretends to comfort her through the door, Trish comes in through the front door and Frasier finds out what is happening. Martin then lets Trish go. In a separate storyline, Niles has been having a throbbing toothache which has a very slim chance of being a case of "referred pain", i.e. symptomatic of a condition elsewhere. Throughout the episode, he keeps beating impossible odds in all kinds of ways: he twice wins a fanny pack from corks on water bottles, he spots a black couple that look just like him and Daphne and even have the same names, his car is struck by lightning, etc. When he finds out that he had a great-uncle who died of a heart attack when he was his age, he goes to a cardiologist. It turns out that there is an anomaly in his EKG and the doctor tells him to check into a hospital immediately.
- Frasier is looking for a new housekeeper, and his high standards and demanding nature make the search particularly difficult. Eventually, he, Martin and Daphne interview a woman named Trish Haney (Ana Gasteyer), who arrives very late and thus causes Frasier to worry about how seriously she will take the job. Martin, however, thinks she will be good company for him during the day, so is keen that she be given the job. Frasier is reluctant, but concedes. Unfortunately, his predictions prove to be accurate when Trish repeatedly disappears early from work for no good reason, or misses days altogether. Martin, anxious not to have his mistake known, is compelled to clean the apartment in her place, so that Frasier never realises she is not doing the work. Niles has a persistent toothache, and the dentist has assured him that there is nothing wrong with it. Roz suggests a sinus infection, and although he hopes she is right, Niles also considers the distant possibility that he is experiencing referred pain. Over the next few days, he has several very unlikely experiences, such as winning competitions from bottle tops, flipping a coin that consistently lands tails up, and having his car struck by lightning. He becomes more and more worried by these apparent omens, and eventually decides to consult a doctor, who discovers a serious abnormality in his EKG. Niles says he can clear his schedule and check himself into the hospital the next afternoon, but the doctor insists that he go immediately.
- Frasier and Martin interview several candidates to replace Daphne as their housekeeper. Martin complains about Frasier's pushiness, accusing Frasier of not trusting him. Frasier gives in and hires Martin's choice, a sports fan named Trish Haney. When Trish turns out to be totally irresponsible, Martin secretly handles the apartment's cleaning duties himself, rather than face Frasier's I-told-you-so. Meanwhile, a series of one-in-a-million chance events happen to Niles, the last being diagnosed with a critical heart condition.—crouchbk
