The tenth season of Frasier is highlighted by a three-part story arc, "Rooms with a View", "Bristle While You Work", and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," in which Niles (David Hyde Pierce) comes face to face with his own mortality when he undergoes heart bypass surgery, an event that has a curious effort on Niles' marriage to Daphne (Jane Leeves). It also brings "Kissing Cousin," in which newly divorced KACL radio station owner Kenny (Tom McGowan) briefly finds a kindred spirit in Roz's younger cousin Jen (Zooey Deschanel), a woman no one else can stand. Later, "The Harrassed" introduces KACL's new financial analyst Julia Wilcox (Felicity Huffman), who will become the latest in a long line of women whom Frasier cannot live without. Frasier's ex-wife Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) shows up in "Lilith Needs a Foavr" to ask a favor involving artificial insemination. Plus, Dr. Phil McGraw becomes the object of Frasier's wrath merely by hiring Frasier's former agent, the redoubtable Bebe (Harriet Sansom Harris) in "The Devil and Dr. Phil". As for Martin (John Mahoney), he tentatively relights the flame with Cora (Emily Yancy), the mother of Frasier's contentious neighbor Cam Winston in "Fraternal Schwinns." In the season finale, "A New Position for Roz," she prepares to quit her job as Frasier's producer and leave Seattle forever, a decision largely motivated by her outrage over the romance between Frasier and Julia.
