Frasier and Niles are delighted that their father has finally “come to his senses” and called it quits with Sherry. Too bad Martin isn’t as happy about the split. Although he claims to enjoy having back his freedom, it’s obvious to everyone that he’s miserable without Sherry.

Meanwhile, Frasier continues his “hat trick” of hot dates with Date #2, Adair, who walks out after she learns that Frasier dated Kimberly -- the woman who ruined Adair’s first marriage -- the night before.

The next day, Sherry confides in Frasier and Niles that Martin broke up with her just after saying “I love you” for the first time. Over Niles’s protests, Frasier confronts Martin, who admits that loving Sherry makes him feel as if he is betraying his late wife. When Frasier assures him that his mother would’ve wanted Martin to be happy, Martin reconciles with Sherry -- and Frasier looks forward to finally having a successful date with his third companion of the weekend, Leslie.
