Plot: It's been a bad day for Frasier as he's had an argument with Roz. Martin's day hasn't been going well either because Eddie has a new favourite toy - a Barbie doll - and Martin thinks people may laugh at him. Niles takes them to the hospital where Maris is having a face lift.

Whilst Niles talks to the doctor, Frasier discovers that Martin's old partner, Artie Walshe, is in another ward. Martin and Artie had had an argument many years before and haven't spoken since, so Martin says he couldn't care less. They do meet, but the reunion isn't pleasant.

Frasier and Niles later hear the story of the break-up. It was one day at Duke's that the guys were watching a movie. Artie said Martin was crying. Martin said he had salt in his eye. However the other cops laughed and left tissues around for "Boo-hoo Crane". In retaliation, Martin said something about the size of Artie's wife, Loretta's bottom.

Frasier receives a 'phone call - it's about his car check-up, but he makes it sound like it's bad news about Artie. Martin says he doesn't care, but Frasier knows he really does. So it's a race down to the hospital to see if Martin and Artie can rebuild their friendship.....
