And I promise that if you invite us to this wedding, I will never give Nikos another piece of advice for as long as I live. And you don't just come to the wedding! Daphne: Who's Cousin Yvonne? Frasier: I am convinced that he's still in love with her, and she with him! Frasier: Oh, Roz, it's rather a long story-
Nikos: My folks wanted me to go to medical school. Frasier: Oh, a distant cousin who has a slight crush on Niles. Frasier: Oh, well, he's half Greek. Frasier: This is Nikos, my father's brother's son. Frasier: [getting his last shot in] I just want to make sure that my cousin marries the woman that he truly loves the most. Frasier: [noticing him] Niles! He gets his looks from his mom. I want to be there when he gets married! Martin and Daphne are following Ed around, trying to get at the camera. Martin and Walt shake hands. Martin: Can you imagine what it's like to live in the same city as your brother, and not see him for five years? Martin: Well, Walt...
Walt: Marty...
Martin: Goodbye again. Nikos: Once again, he saved me from making a terrible mistake. Nikos: Yeah, she really is. Niles: Everyone is! They ignore her and finish juggling. Zora goes off. Zora: Oh. Zora: Or soon after. [takes the microphone] Well, I've known Nikos all his life, and I'm sure that he realizes marriage is a binding commitment, not to be entered into hastily-
Zora: [sensing trouble] But when the right one comes along, you know it!

Summary: Frasier receives a visit at KACL from his half-Greek cousin, Nikos, who is planning to get married soon and wants Frasier, Martin and Niles to come to the wedding. They realize that his fearsome mother, Zora (guest star Patti LuPone ), did not send the invitations. This is due to a long-standing rift between her and Frasier: five years ago, he advised Nikos to follow his preferred career ( juggling ) rather than go to medical school as Zora wanted. Since then, she refuses to speak to or acknowledge him, Niles or Martin at all, and she imposes the same restrictions on her husband Walt, Martin's brother. Consequently, Martin is not keen to attend the wedding, and neither is Niles, in case he runs into cousin Yvonne, who has a crush on him. Frasier, however, wants to see Nikos happy, and after accepting his invitation, manages to reconcile with Zora on condition that he never gives advice to Nikos again. He finds this promise harder to honor than he expected, when he deduces that Nikos' affections lie elsewhere. He gets involved once again, ignoring Zora's warning, and Nikos calls the wedding off. Zora, in a rage, attacks Frasier who flees while Martin and Walt say their goodbyes once more.
