Roz's mother is visiting, and Frasier suggests fixing her up with Martin. They do their best to make it look accidental (Frasier and Niles go with their father to McGinty's, and Roz brings her mother soon afterwards), but Martin and Joanna see straight through them. They spend some time together that evening at a jazz club, and when they arrive back at Frasier's apartment later they both seem to be in a good mood. After Roz and Joanna have left, Martin privately admits to Frasier that he found her very boring company, but Roz reports that her mother had a wonderful evening and hopes to see Martin again before she leaves Seattle. Frasier does not have the heart to tell Roz the truth, and tries to engineer one more rendez-vous to spare Joanna's feelings, inviting them to watch the Super Bowl on television at his place. He chooses not to tell Martin that they are coming until the last minute, at which point he discovers that Martin has also invited someone along.
