Airdate:
10/31/85
Andy Schroeder, Diane’s would-be murderer currently a mental
hospital, has just been released, and now during a blackout and half the staff
lost down in the new wine cellar, she’s scared stiff. But it was all just a
nightmare – the latest of several she’s been having upon hearing the news of
Andy’s release. To help assuage her fears, Frasier had gone to see the man and
assist in his recovery, but now he’s coming to Cheers in his pursuit of a new
life, and forgiveness from Diane before leaving the country. And that’s not all
– he wants the whole Cheers crew to back up the big lies he’s been telling his
new love interest, Cynthia, including his ownership of the bar, Sam being an
ex-con and Frasier being a kleptomaniac. Diane begs Sam not to trust him so
much when he walks off with the entire bar earnings, but Sam’s intuition proves
correct when Andy returns. When Diane apologizes to a smoking jacket, opera-composing
Sam, she wakes up, for real this time.
Fun Halloween-themed outing gives you two dreams for the
price of one (evidently, the only scenes that actually happened were the cold
open and final minute), and the return engagement of fan favorite Andy
Schroeder. Also in the mix: Nancy Cartwright as Cynthia who of course gained
later fame as the voice of Bart Simpson on The
Simpsons, an obscure cartoon that had a brief run on Fox.
Cold open: Cliff wins a Boggle game with made-up words,
including “flork,” the flag on a mailbox.
Norm’s opener: Sam: “Still pouring, Norm?” Norm: “That’s
funny, I was about to ask you the same thing!”
