A picture of a young Frasier Crane, wide eyed, gazing at the walls of Stefano's and wondering, "Who's that?" Are we still on for dinner at "Quelque Chose"? Daphne: They put his picture on the wall and he thinks his forehead looks a touch too big. For over sixty years, Stefano's has immortalized Seattle's famous faces on its walls, as you can see. Frasier has his oat bran whilst Daphne has a fry-up. Frasier is sat talking to Martin. Frasier: Now, Niles, I was fortunate enough that the artist is actually here tonight. Here it is. His forehead is exaggerated greatly. Meanwhile, Frasier takes the caricature of the cartoonist and takes the girl in the seat away. Niles, shaking uncontrollably, tries to exit but Stefano has a word with him. Niles: No, Frasier, you are not going to ask him to change it again...
Frasier: Niles...
Niles: If this means so much to you, my girlfriend's a plastic surgeon, she can have you looking like this picture in six procedures or less! Roz: By who? Stefano goes ballistic and throws Frasier out of the restaurant. [SCENE_BREAK]

A: the following evening; Q: When does Frasier return to Stefano's Italian restaurant with Niles? A: His criticism; Q: What goes down badly when it emerges that the artist is Stefano's mother? Summary: Frasier has an announcement to make, for which he is taking Martin, Daphne and Niles out to dinner at Stefano's Italian restaurant. Niles refuses to go, making up an excuse about a patient's crisis; the truth is, he had an embarrassing experience at this restaurant as a child, and is still traumatized by it. Frasier has to make the announcement without him: the restaurant is putting a sketch of his face on their Seattle Wall of Fame, and the unveiling is that very evening. He is very proud, until he sees the caricature ; the artist has extravagantly exaggerated his forehead. Frasier insists on returning the following evening with Niles, to have a tactful word with Stefano about changing it. His criticism goes down badly as it emerges that the artist is Stefano's mother.
