Roz receives a visit from her twentysomething cousin, Jen, whose opinionated attitude makes her intolerable to everyone except for Kenny.
Tropes:
- Berserk Button: Jen accidentally presses one of Frasier's by ragging on Sigmund Freud. A short time later, Frasier is ranting on air about Freud's influence in the field of psychiatry.
- Blithe Spirit: Although she frustrates everyone else, Jen acts as this to Kenny, who is completely enamored by her lack of roots and willingness to travel at a whim. Kenny even nearly leaves his life to follow her on a trip to Vietnam until an inspirational speech from Roz over the radio changes his mind.
- The Cynic: Jen does not mince words when stating her opinions on how older generations have made a mess of society. However, her constant negativity makes the adults avoid her.
- Feeling Their Age: Roz tries to keep up with Jen's wild partying, but is eventually forced to admit that she just can't do it anymore now that she's in her thirties.
- Hollywood Mid-Life Crisis: Kenny appears to be going through one, as he feels superstitious about actually settling into his current position, and quickly bonds with the much younger and free-spirited Jen to the point of making out on a couch.
- Hypocritical Humor: Roz tears into a caller for disparaging being old, going on a speech about how she's appreciating her age. When she's done, the caller recognizes her from a bar they were at the night before, where she'd said she was twenty-nine.
- Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Jen. She believes Americans have never heard of Vietnam, dismisses everything she disagrees with as "bourgeois", and thinks an art gallery is designed to make Americans feel better about their "imperialist, phallocratic heritage" despite it being a landscape gallery.
- Lazy Bum: A running gag is Martin successfully ducking responsibility for his chores, either getting Daphne or Frasier to do it for him.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: Martin manages to trick Niles into doing dinner for him and Frasier by pretending he has no idea how to cook sea bass, then acting lost when Niles tries giving him instructions.
- Pose of Silence: Frasier and Martin take advantage of both Daphne and Niles who are helping them with their accumulated housework. As Niles tends to automatically do chores because his policy is to clean up messes as one goes, Martin stops a guilty Frasier from helping him because he knows Niles will end up making them dinner. He does so by getting closer to Frasier and whispering in his ear.
- Wild Teen Party: Jen parties very hard, and since she has always looked up to Roz as the only exciting person in her home town, Roz feels obliged to maintain this image by joining her cousin at clubs until the small hours. This ends up leaving Roz completely exhausted and reevaluating the importance of growing up and maturing.
