"Hippity-bippity-boppity-bow, something and something and buttons and bows!"
It's February the 29th, and an unseasonally lovely day, so Frasier decides that this "free day" should be used for everyone to take a leap and do something that they wouldn't normally do. He manages to convince Daphne she should have a new hair-do, and his father to visit an old police buddy in Montana - especially as Martin points out that his birthday only comes around once every four years.
At the studio, Roz is lamenting that she may have missed her chance with a man she met on the bus called Gary after she got off to let people out, and then the bus drove off without her giving him her number, but despite being initially reluctant, Frasier finally manages to persuade her to appeal for Gary to call in.
Frasier's own leap is to sing an aria from Verde's Rigoletto instead of his usual 'Buttons & Bows' in his slot on the PBS Pledge Drive. Meanwhile, Maris has called Niles wanting them to "get together" which means sex in her book! Frasier sees this as no way to re-build a marriage and so has to try and keep a sexually frustrated Niles from being tempted by this offer.
Disaster, however, befits everyone as Roz's mystery man Gary turns up at the station only to announce he is married, Martin's plane to Montana suffers engine failure after a flock of geese fly into it causing the plane to do an emergency landing, while Daphne's new hair-do turns out to be a catastrophe. All of this causes Niles to forget Frasier's advice and have sex with Maris.
At the PBS Pledge Drive, however, Frasier backs out of singing the aria after seeing everyone else's misfortune and switches back to 'Buttons & Bows' at the last minute. There is one small problem, however - he seems to have forgotten the words......
