Frasier and Niles come to grips with playing host to Daphne's overbearing mother Gertrude, along with her boorish drunkard brother Simon, when they come to visit.
Tropes:
- Compensating for Something: Frasier and Cam accuse each other of doing this with their choice of cars (a BMW vs a Hummer).Cam: You do your share of polluting with that substitute for masculinity you're driving.
Frasier: If mine's a "substitute for masculinity", then what is yours?
Cam: Bigger! - Flag Drop: When trying to cheer up Gertrude, Frasier gives an inspirational speech about America, which ends with the American flag appearing outside his deck, courtesy of his obnoxious neighbor Cam Winston.Niles: How did you do that?
- Series Continuity Error: Gertrude is under the impression that Daphne's still a virgin, even though back in "Something Borrowed, Someone Blue" she believed that Daphne was pregnant with Donny's baby.
