Skyline: A full moon rises.

Plot: Roz's 20 year old cousin is visiting and remembers the old days where Roz used to drag her out to parties and always had a good time. She wants the same thing to happen again, but of course Roz is older now and all the parties and clubbing are tiring her out. When she tries to tell Jen, Jen thinks Roz is becoming boring, and Roz doesn't want her to think that...

Jen has annoyed Frasier by putting down Sigmund Freud, so he and Roz "dump" Jen onto Kenny, whom Frasier discovers hasn't unpacked the boxes in his office because he views this job as "temporary". Jen tells Kenny about her plans to go to Vietnam and Kenny is interested in joining her, as he is bored with his life. Inspired by Jen, Kenny books a flight out there - but Jen tells him she always travels alone.

On Frasier's show, a caller, Stu, has called in complaining that if his girlfriend moves in with him he'll have to give up his freedom. Stu is 47 but acts like he is 18, and this makes Roz tell him to act his age, and that there's nothing wrong with age. Her words about maturity and commitment make Kenny decide his life is good enough, and he finally unpacks his office.

Meanwhile Martin has tricked Niles and Daphne into doing the household jobs for him.

Subtitles: He's Also Seen Boston And Kansas.

Roz loves..... Stu, the caller to the show. She met him at a club the night before and told him she was 29...

Trivia: We meet Roz's cousin Jen, who for some reason wasn't at the family reunion in Ep 209 "The Guilt Trippers". A mention of Alice - who's staying with her grandparents, and a couple of indirect mentions of Hester Crane. Roz's age is revealed - she is 38. We also learn that Kenny has separated from his wife, and that he won a Excellence in Broadcasting Decency Award for a series he produced, "Life Is My Favourite Drug Of All". Frasier has also been nominated for one. Oh yes, and Eddie can now apparently do housework... :-)
