Interviewing housekeepers turns into a difficult task when Frasier realizes that no one can fill Daphne’s shoes. When an attractive thirty-something candidate, Trish (guest star Ana Gasteyer), arrives late for her interview, Frasier is leery and puts her to the test. However, Martin is so impressed by her interest in the Sonics that he hires her on the spot. Frasier disagrees with Martin’s rash decision and washes his hands of all responsibility.

Meanwhile, Niles has a toothache and is paranoid that it’s a symptom of a heart condition, which is a very rare occurrence. Everyone laughs at the likelihood, until he defies odds all week—his car is struck by lightening, he wins a fanny pack twice, a one-in-ten-thousand chance, and he gets “tails” every time he flips a coin. He is sure his toothache is an omen of something much worse and wrestles with how to tell Daphne his fate.

Martin quickly discovers that Trish is totally incompetent and never shows up for work; however, he is too proud to admit his mistake to Frasier. Instead, he covers up by doing all of the housework himself, trying to keep up with Frasier’s impossible demands. Finally, Martin gets fed up when Trish stops by expecting to get paid, even though she hasn’t lifted a finger. Martin fires her on the spot and admits to Frasier that he should have listened to him.

When Niles meets with his doctor, he is taken aback to learn that he there is an anomaly on his EKG and that he must be checked into the hospital immediately.
