Airdate: 10/7/82
A blonde bombshell walks into Cheers and sets all the men’s hearts aflutter. Diane soon learns about Sam’s way with, and taste in, women, and mocks his lack of depth in pursuing them. To prove he can date smart women, he brings his ex-wife back to the bar, pretending they were at a classical music concert, but Diane sees through it all. He calls her a snob, and she calls him a “rapidly aging adolescent,” but he has the last laugh when he praises her beauty in poetry, challenging her assertion that an intelligent woman could see though all his lines.
The sexual tension continues between Sam and Diane. The one thing always liked about them is the fact that they actually possess the qualities that they loathe so much in each other (but of course don’t acknowledge). The pool room is starting to become the “fight room” between them. Also - an interesting subplot about coach and his oftentimes latent abilities to solve the customer’s personal problems. First episode in which Cliff the mailman becomes a prominent character, owing mostly to his special skill in comprehensively (and most likely erroneously) answering the most trivial questions.
