Although his marriage to Maris is all but kaput, Niles (David Hyde Pierce) is still too chicken to declare his love for Daphne (Jane Leeves). Just when he has worked up enough courage to ask Daphne for a date, Niles gets cold feet, begging off by claiming to be having dinner at his home with another woman. Alas, this deception threatens to explode in Niles' face when Daphne shows up at his apartment offering to prepare dinner for his imaginary date. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
