Frasier is doing his show. It was the radio. Mike: Say, I just heard a rumor that somebody 'round here is being let go. Frasier: Bulldog's quitting. Frasier: Well, because Ned Miller is firing him. Bob Briscoe's about to jump into the office and... oh. BULLDOG QUIT! Is she here? It's one of Maris's favorites. Frasier: [panic-stricken] Who told you? Martin: Frasier? Ah, there was a rumor going 'round the station that Bulldog was going to get sacked, and then... I'll go down to the station, I will talk to the monster on the sixth floor and futilely attempt to get a man back his job that I don't even care for, and in the process I will probably end up spitting out my teeth like Chiclets! People get fired.
Plan: A: a rumor; Q: What is Frasier told about the on-air staff being fired? A: Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe; Q: Who quits the station after Frasier accidentally reveals the rumor to him? A: management; Q: Who was Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe meeting with? A: the rumor; Q: What did Frasier believe was true? A: his job; Q: What did Frasier learn was safe when he went to the station manager? A: pressure; Q: What did Martin put on Frasier to go to the station manager and beg for Bulldog's job back? Summary: Frasier is told a rumor that one of the KACL on-air staff is getting fired. When sportscaster Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe is called into a meeting with management, Frasier assumes the rumor is true and accidentally reveals it to him. As a result, Bulldog quits the station while Frasier learns that his job was actually safe. Feeling guilty and feeling pressure from Martin, Frasier decides to go to the station manager and beg for Bulldog's job back, only to learn the rumor was true and it was actually Frasier who was about to be fired.
