When Coach’s
daily game of cards with a friend, George Wheeler, turns out to be a con job,the
Cheers crew urges revenge, and so they enlist the services of Harry, the
Flim-Flam Man to get back the $8,000 Coach lost. His idea: arrange a “friendly”
game of high-stakes poker after hours, with both George and Harry in attendance.
As the game wears on, Harry loses everything, but Sam figures out he and George
were in on the whole thing together. They force George to take Harry in one
more game – all or nothing – but it backfires when Coach "messes up" his signals
for George. Harry takes off with the money, but it turns out he and Coach were
in cahoots the whole time, so everyone’s money is returned.
Loads of fun,
and definitely my favorite episode of the season thus far. As twisty and turny
as The Sting, this show’s razor-sharp
script by David Angell will keep everyone guessing. Rule of thumb: any show
involving Harry is gonna be good!
Cold open: Sam
and Diane squabble over their age difference.
Norm’s opener:
No Norm at the beginning of this episode.
