Accepts Kate's different (5)
I believe the answer is:
takes
'accepts' is the definition.
('take' can be a synonym of 'accept')
'kate's different' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates an anagram (letters placed in a different order).
'kates' anagrammed gives 'TAKES'.
(Other definitions for takes that I've seen before include "Steak (anag.)" , "Removes" , "Steals" , "sections of film" , "Filmed scenes" .)
