Airdate: 2/1/90
Sam gets back to
the bar, apprising everyone of recently elapsed events: in particular, the
near-meltdown at Wally’s when Robin brought in his “other woman” with Rebecca
still in the ladies room. Sam’s solution, to fake a fire and lead Rebecca out
with her jacket over her head, seemed to work – for now. But Sam deep down
knows that his boss needs to know the truth, especially with the mooshy,
hopelessly-in-love way she’s been acting lately. It gets tougher when the
cheater himself arrives at Cheers to break the news that he can’t make his date
due to a meeting, and Sam calls him on it – but Mr. Colcort offers a lucrative
proposition: keep mum, and he’ll help him buy the bar back. Despite this, Sam
still does the right thing, and Rebecca, after initial disbelief, catches her
paramour in the arms of another. Robin’s response – he’s a one-woman guy, still
looking for that one woman, and he’s narrowed it down to two. Is she okay with
this? Despite Sam’s reproach, and her own better judgment (and weakness for
diamonds), she is.
The
Robin/Rebecca romance continues, but we know now that his philandering ways
will not sustain it viably – so expect a lot of forthcoming drama. Sam still
has to plug away at buying the bar back, too, so we sort of have two parallel
quests going, while the Sam-Rebecca union seems to be put on the back burner…
for now.
Funniest scene
(again involving Frasier): Frasier compares Rebecca’s potential denial of the
end of her relationship with his own “to that bitch Diane!”
Cold open: Bill
Medley returns, and all the guys buy him a drink. Woody wants to know why he
changed his last name from Righteous.
