Frasier is surprised to hear the voice of his ex-wife Lilith on his radio show. She tells him that she has come to town for a convention, so Frasier invites her to his condo for dinner, where she is reacquainted with her skeptical father-in-law Martin; her annoyed brother-in-law Niles; and Daphne, who is plagued with migraines upon Lilith’s arrival.

After a meal of strained conversation with the Crane clan, Frasier and Lilith find themselves alone to talk. Lilith reveals that she came to Seattle after finding a letter Frasier wrote, asking for a reconciliation. A stunned Frasier tells Lilith that the letter is over a year old, and that he is happy with his new life in Seattle.

As Lilith leaves the apartment, Frasier contemplates whether he was too harsh in dismissing the letter, and wonders if he should give their relationship a second chance. After seeking Niles’s advice, Frasier meets with Lilith and the two are overcome with lust for each other. The next morning, they both realize that they’ve made a mistake, and agree that separation is best for them.
