However, it has begun to grow back, and Frasier is horrified.

Now he must get Martin to find this person and make amends to un-curse him.

Back when he was a cop, he arrested someone and they threatened to place a curse on his family.

He didn't take it seriously until Fraiser was born and they discovered he had a tail.

Thank you, it's nice to be appreciated.

When Daphne refuses, the rats retaliate by kidnapping Niles.

Longtime fans will note that this is the first episode where it is implied Eddie may be an omnipotent being masquerading as a simple dog. This would become one of the series' most iconic running gags.

This episode was notable for allowing the cast to show off their period drama skills through double casting them in the Anna Karenina storyline.
However, the choice to have Bulldog in the role of Count Vronsky remains controversial.

The first episode of this two-parter was notable for its cliffhanger ending where Martin and Daphne unknowingly donate a box Frasier and Niles are stuck in to a charity drive, stranding the brothers on the other side of Seattle.
