Oscar-winning filmmaker Quentin Tarantino directed this episode, which contains all manner of characteristic black comedy touches, not to mention Tarantino's trademarked use of a popular 1960s songs to comment upon the action. The story occurs on Mother's Day, when the long-suffering Lewis (Sherry Stringfield), who is having enough trouble coping with sister Chloe's (Kathleen Wilhoite) pregnancy, is visited by her zany, irresponsible mother, Cookie (Valerie Perrine). Elsewhere, Benton (Eriq La Salle) is told that his mother is dead; Diane (Lisa Zane) is surprised by Ross' (George Clooney) reaction when she asks him to move in with her; and Carter (Noah Wyle) makes a life-altering professional decision. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) would like to buy a new chair for his father, Martin (John Mahoney), but the old man is sentimentally attached to his faithful old recliner. Casting caution to the winds, Frasier decides that the best way to convince Martin that he really needs a new chair is to throw the old one away. Instead, a desperate Martin scours Seattle in search of his beloved recliner -- and stumbles right into a "murder mystery," high-school style. Watch for a very young Brittany Murphy in a supporting role. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

As Will suffers the torments of the darned, his cousin Ashley (Tatyana M. Ali) learns a sobering lesson about truth and beauty. This episode marks the final series appearance of Tyra Banks, not to mention a rare sitcom guest turn by popular Howard Stern cohort Robin Quivers. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Though the family regards as "cute" the relationship between Ashley (Tatyana M. Ali) and her boyfriend Kevin (Marc Robinson) , Ashley herself is apparently not thinking along "cute" lines. In fact, she has some rather pointed questions about sexual reproduction, much to the embarrassment of know-it-all Will. Unable to come up with the "right" answers, Will ends up attending a pregnancy counseling session--and learns in a hurry just how much he doesn't know about sex, and has been afraid to ask. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
