Plot outline

Roz is having her apartment fumigated, so Frasier offers to put her up, as Martin is off to San Francisco for the weekend with Duke. She arrives just as Martin is leaving, and tells Frasier that she has had her calls forwarded to his number. One of the messages left is from the Garretts, the parents of Rick, the father of Roz's baby, who want to get in touch and see how she is. Roz is somewhat alarmed by this and wonders what they want, but Frasier thinks it would be a good idea to meet them, and so invites them over that weekend. Once they arrive, both Frasier and Roz find it hard to ignore the fact that both Steve and Paula Garrett have huge noses. Roz struggles to keep a straight face, as do Niles and Daphne. Martin too, having cut his trip short out of sheer disappointment, gets a shock when he meets them for the first time. Roz thanks Frasier for getting her to meet with Rick's parents, and he points out that Rick didn't have a big nose. However, the Garretts then give Roz a picture of Rick before his nose job.

Frasier gives Daphne a pair of earrings from the pharmacy, which she mistakes for real sapphires in honour of her five-year anniversary of working for Frasier. [ [http://www.frasieronline.co.uk/episodeguide/season5/ep21.htm Frasier Online Episode Guide: Episode 5.21 - Roz And The Schnoz ] ]
