Airdate: 5/5/88
Evan Drake is going to oversee his business interest
overseas – in Tokyo, indefinitely. Rebecca is devastated. Mourning, mooning and
moping, she loses all lust for life – while Sam tries to lift her spirits. His
idea: throw him a goodbye party, which will give her the opportunity to aver
her undying love for him. Unfortunately one thing sidetracks their conversation
after another, and it looks like she’s lost him. One last ditch effort is worth
considering – detain his chauffeur, and drive her to the airport for a moment
alone with him. But he has to pick someone up first, the girl he will be in
Tokyo with, and she goes beserk. Sam bails her out of jail – she had smashed
the limo into a 7-11, with no license. Now she’s a blubbering mess, and wants
a”best friend” – Sam – to console her, but he’s not sure his hormones can play along.
She summons him from the payphone downstairs to come up – and perhaps they can
be platonic, for one night.
Not quite the cliffhanger of earlier seasons, but an
interesting stopping place after a season in which two characters who started
as strangers now clearly understand each other, for better or worse. It appears
that this is the end of the Rebecca/Drake saga too, so we’ll see what that will
be replaced with next season. All in all, not a bad season, on to numero
siete!!!
Cold open: Cliff knows a little too much about ways Evan
Drake probably manages to look younger than he actually is.
