Later Frasier brings Mia home, where she meets Niles and Daphne. Niles is shocked - Mia looks like his late mother Hester!!! However Frasier doesn't see the resemblance.

It's Martin's birthday and as a present Frasier and Niles have copied some of their old home movies onto a VCR tape so they can watch them again. They are also taking him up to the cabin where he and Hester used to go together. Frasier invites Mia on the trip, and Martin thinks that Hester has risen from the dead!!!

When the Cranes sit down to watch the movies, Frasier finally notices the resemblance. This puts doubts on his relationship with Mia - how can he date someone who looks like his mum? Later, when Mia has gone home, Martin tells Frasier not to analyse why the relationship failed - it's because they all miss Hester.....
