Rebecca calls Woody cute, and that’s all it takes for him to
develop a crush on his boss. When the bar boys razz him for it, he crows that
he could kiss her by days end. Sam gets pressured into countering his claim,
and before long everyone at the bar’s got a bet on who can lock lips with the
ice princess before 12 midnight. Every
trick in the book, from fake CPR to the old “rehearsing for love scene,” gets
used, until Rebecca asks Carla, the judge, what’s going on, and decides to
stage a retaliatory plan. She takes each man aside and tells him that she wants
him to win, with explicit plans on how to make it happen. In the end, she gets
Sam and Woody to kiss each other, and avers that she “will not be used,” just
before she drives Evan Drake’s valet to the airport.
Another lightweight, college-antic style episode, this one
featuring shades of Dirty Rotten
Scoundrels. Of course, we know that Rebecca will get deliver their
comeuppance, and she does in a pretty crafty way – although nowadays that male
to make kiss would be a lot more graphic.
BTW: Anyone notice how Sam’s character has changed
immensely? Not only does he not get ribbed for being a intellectual idiot, but
he doesn’t act like one either. Did he get a degree while on that yacht?
Cold open: Norm gives Frasier his hangover cure: reminding
him of what he did the night before, including insulting a burly merchant
marine.
