To celebrate their third anniversary on the air, Roz presents Frasier with a tape of their very first radio show. Listening to the tape takes Frasier back in time. He remembers how Roz threatened to quit after Frasier’s debut because he refused to let her screen calls, and the show was a disaster.

Frasier recalls having coffee with Roz at Cafe Nervosa after the show, and how she laid down a list of ground rules which Frasier agreed to follow. Later that day, Frasier ran into Niles, who got Frasier to come along on his weekly visit to their father Martin.

Once there, Niles slipped out, leaving Frasier struggling to make a connection with his father. Trying to humor Frasier’s earnest attempts to bond, Martin inadvertently gave Frasier his show’s catchphrase, “I’m listening.” Arriving home after his trip down Memory Lane, Frasier urges a reluctant Daphne to visit her relatives in England, explaining how important family ties really are. She agrees to go home -- after Frasier agrees to pay her way.
