[[folder:1113: The Ann Who Came to Dinner]]
* After a friend of Roz's, a realtor who is apparently a serial suer, injures herself at Frasier's house, Frasier lets her [[TheThingThatWouldNotLeave stay over]] in the hopes that she won't sue. As her boorish behavior drives Frasier to distraction, he mentions to Roz he's surprised they're friends as she doesn't seem like the kind of person Roz would like.
-->'''Roz:''' Oh she's not--I rear-ended her back in '97.

* The scene as a whole is basically a WhatCouldHaveBeen if [[ObnoxiousInLaws Hester]] had maintained a recurrent role and went up against all the girls in Frasier's life. Diane and Hester act like SitcomArchNemesis, both ditching dirt on each other (Hester stating IWarnedYou about Diane ultimately cheating on Frasier, with Diane angrily pointing out ''she'' was unfaithful to Martin, which Hester snaps is none of her business). Lilith mockingly analyses Hester's affect on Frasier as a parent, with Hester making apparent she thinks little of Lilith for what she did to ''both'' her children, while arguing with Nanette just devolves into mutual childish name calling ("Hypocrite!" "Whore!"). The only thing all of them agree on is [[TeethClenchedTeamwork analysing Frasier and vindicating their own importance to him]], much to his chagrin.
