 In light of her reconsideration of Sam s marriage proposal, Diane comes back to work at Cheers as she knows it s only time before Sam s will will once break down and he ll ask her to marry him again. Sam does let her work there only so that she ll see the bevy of babes he will be dating. However his next date, a romantic weekend getaway to the Cape, turns out to be the  Murphy s Law  of getaways for Sam. First his original date, Rhonda, cancels on him, and then the replacement date, Vicki, has to leave once they get to the Cape because of an illness in the family. What s worse is that Diane shows up at the same inn just to rattle Sam. Wanting to show Diane that he is having a good time with anyone but her, he clandestinely sends Vicki off on her way by herself while hiding in the room supposedly with Vicki. Diane however finds out that Vicki has been called away. Sam continues on with his ploy at any cost, but eventually Diane tells him that she knows Vicki is no longer there. They both feel embarrassed by their childish behavior and try to avoid each other for the rest of the weekend. But they meet up at dinner and clear the air - sort of. They agree that they re still attracted to each other but are at odds about how to deal with it and what it means. This will all be dealt with another day.
