Rebecca wants to surprise Robin at
his posh apartment when he returns home from a business trip – so she goes
over, ready for him while in the buff with a bottle of champagne. Sam hears of
this and decides to deliver the message in person that the millionaire is
running three hours late. Rebecca’s not amused, but becomes even less so when
she accidentally triggers the high-tech, laser-beam security system. No help
seems likely, so she and Sam wind up spending the night – clothed and
physically separated from each other – talking. The next morning the maid
arrives to set them free, but she’s impressed by his platonic behavior.
Further Sam/Rebecca development,
and the increased likelihood that her bedding of Robin may just never happen.
Cool laser effects in the apartment scenes suggest an increased budget for the
show – no wonder, as Cheers, by this
point, has become a huge hit (it will be #1 next season). Subplot involves an
all-boys game of Monopoly, which stemmed from Norm’s lesson on economics to
Woody.
Cold open: the aforementioned
lesson on economics, with Norm demonstrating devaluation by ripping up Cliff’s
dollar.
