Hoping to impress the members of his wine club, Frasier offers to host an upcoming wine-tasting event at his home. His first task: to get Martin’s tacky plaid armchair out of sight. But when he enlists his brother’s help in moving the chair, Niles drops it and scratches the floor. A frazzled Frasier contacts Niles’s contractor to buff the blemish before the guests arrive in twenty-four hours.

Unfortunately, Joe the contractor and his crew encounter one problem after another, and by the time Frasier comes home, his condo is in a shambles. Minutes before the wine-tasting, Martin’s quick thinking -- and his sons’ cash -- send the workmen into high speed and put the living room back together just in time for the event.

Meanwhile, sparks fly between Daphne and Joe. A jealous Niles first tries to dissuade Daphne from pursuing a romantic relationship with Joe by telling her he’s a womanizer. In the end, Niles admits he was lying, and Daphne accepts a date with Joe.
