|ShortSummary=There is a new station manager at [[KACL (Frasier)|KACL]], and it's a woman called Kate Costas ([[Mercedes Ruehl]]). She has a reputation for being a fearsome perfectionist, and everyone at her last radio station was afraid of her. She quickly instils a similar atmosphere at KACL (even Bulldog is scared), although Frasier is not prepared to be intimidated. Therefore, when she instructs him to change his show in various [[sensationalism|sensationalist]] ways (such as themed shows and giving priority to “juicier calls”), he flatly refuses to co-operate, reasoning that she cannot fire one of the station's highest-rated hosts. His show is promptly moved to the [[graveyard slot|graveyard shift]], spoiling his sleep patterns and making Roz bitterly resentful, but Frasier still refuses to back down. Eventually, the two of them devise a plan whereby they believe they can both obey and humiliate the boss at the same time. Meanwhile, Eddie has started a feud with a [[Doberman Pinscher|Doberman]] in the condo above Frasier's, and Niles wants a gun for personal security. There is a debate between Frasier and Kate about the [[Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra|Concerto for Orchestra (Bartók)]] and which key it is in; in fact, both of them are wrong.
