Rick Walker, a friend of Sam, seeks his advice on how to end a losing streak.

Not wanting to appear lonely and dateless whilst going to her ex-husband Nick's wedding ceremony to blonde bimbo Loretta, Carla asks Sam to accompany her.

Cliff meets a woman during a costume party at Cheers that he likes very much, but he's afraid to see her again as himself.

Diane announces that she's leaving Cheers to accompany Frasier to Italy and Sam throws her a going-away party.

Carla insists that Sam should hire an older woman to replace Diane but she doesn't reckon on Sam's attraction to the woman's daughter.
