Back at home, wealthy Carlos (Mark Espinoza) agrees to date Kelly (Christina Applegate) only if Bud (David Faustino) will keep Carlo's virginal sister Esmerelda (Christina Solis) company.

Oscar-winning actress Mercedes Ruehl makes her first Frasier appearance as KACL's stubborn new station manager Kate Costas, as the series launches its third season. Almost immediately upon her arrival in Seattle, Kate begins tinkering with the format of Frasier Crane's (Kelsey Grammer) radio advice program. Predictably, Frasier digs in his heels and dismisses Kate's efforts to invest his program with "national" appeal: "I'd rather stay local, if going national means sucking at the sump pump of sensationalism." But Kate is not one to be trifled with -- and it isn't long before Frasier is exiled to a 2 a.m. timeslot. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Struck down by the flu, Frasier is too ill to do his daily radio advice show, so his brother, Niles (David Hyde Pierce), offers to fill in -- with great trepidation. Despite an early attack of stage fright, Niles performs brilliantly on the air.

The paranoia becomes as thick as pea soup when food critic Gil Chesterton (Edward Hibbert in his series debut) enters into the equation.

Worse still, the novel describes in vivid detail the moment in which the 17-year-old Frasier surrendered his virginity to his piano teacher, Clarice (Constance Towers). A confrontation with Fallow leads to an awkward reunion with the now-elderly Clarice -- and yet another surprise for our beleaguered hero. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
