synopsis
Alice (Linda Lavin) is honored when she is made the new manager of her apartment building. But it's hardly an honor when her first assignment is to lock out a tenant who's behind in her rent--namely, her fellow waitress Belle (Diane Ladd). John Sylvester White, formerly the pesky Mr. Woodman on Welcome Back, Kotter, essays a similarly odious role in this episode, which also marks the return of Alice's "alter ego" Sam Butler.
