Season 15, Episode 1 - "Fighting Fire with Fired" (one-hour)
The season starts with a literal bang after the radio station goes up in flames. While Bulldog, Gil, Noel and Bebe are forced to search for temporary jobs, Roz must deal with the suspicion the incident has caused. Flashbacks detail a highly eventful summer for Roz and Bulldog, after Alice was forced to move back from Paris. The finance became tight, and blame over the fire falls squarely on Roz as a result. Meanwhile, Bulldog becomes a sports commentator for the local football team, and faces trouble after mispronouncing a word very similar to something else. Gil interviews for a job as a restaurant spokesperson, where he struggles to keep his resentment over the food a secret. Bebe re-opens her talent agency, and reluctantly hires Noel as a receptionist. When Noel discovers that Bebe has started smoking again, he looks into the possibility that she may have caused the fire. Bebe is revealed to have caused the fire and she is forced to pay a large fine and check into rehab for her cigarette addiction. Roz, her name having been cleared, is unable to pay the insurance expenses for ATLY�s reconstruction, has no choice but to sell the station to a corporate giant. Months later, the station re-opens, with Bebe coming out of re-hab and the gang finally able to quit their temporary jobs. Roz has trouble adjusting to life as a regular employee, under the gaze of the company�s regional manager and snooty new boss; Paula Sparrow. When Roz refuses to comply to Sparrow�s strict new dress rule, she is banished to the filing department, where she stages a coop with the other employees suffering under Sparrow�s tyrannical reign. Bulldog, Noel and Gil are busy dealing with Bebe, whose cravings have returned after encountering the smoking room. The group are re-united as they band together to give Sparrow a piece of their mind, but Roz is the last one standing when everyone else backs out in fear of demotions.
