Frasier's show on KACL is presented to a
focus group of twelve people, and unbeknownst to them, Frasier and Roz watch from behind atwo-way mirror as they give their feedback. The reactions are almost all positive, except for one man, Manu, who keeps quiet. When asked directly, he says he does not like the host, giving no reason. Roz is delighted with the overall response, but Frasier starts to obsess over why this one man does not like him.Meanwhile, Niles is being overcharged for an
art restoration job, after he slightly damaged aJackson Pollock at a gallery opening. He has a spontaneous argument with Daphne, which he finds very exciting although he regrets every word spoken in anger, and later on tries baiting her to recreate the experience.Episode Title Cards
