comes to a head

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pays the boss a visit?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'reaches a climax' is the wordplay.
'reaches' becomes 'comesto' (coming to is a kind of reaching).
'climax' becomes 'head' (I've seen this in another clue).
'comesto'+'a'+'head'='COMES TO A HEAD'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
