Frasier is delighted with the eight-percent raise he’s been given in his new contract -- until his agent Bebe starts “consoling” Frasier on the “slave wages” he’s earning at KACL. Boasting that she receives daily offers for Frasier’s services at a much higher salary, Bebe tells him to call in “sick” while she negotiates a new deal.

At first, Frasier panics when the station plays hardball. But when management relents and phones Bebe to re-open negotiations, Frasier and Bebe celebrate their victory by drinking champagne all night. The next morning, a hungover Frasier is stunned when he realizes that Bebe spent the night with him. He quickly tells her that he doesn’t want to jeopardize their working relationship with a personal entanglement. Bebe a grees and leaves to hammer out the terms of his new contract.

Later, Frasier hears that Bebe is standing on the ledge of the radio station building. Assuming she’s despondent over his “rejection,” Frasier rushes to talk her down, but Bebe reveals that it’s just an extreme negotiating tactic designed to show management how valuable Frasier is. Her ploy works: the station manager rewards Frasier with a higher salary and congratulates him on “saving” Bebe’s life.
