 The divide between the sensibilities of Diane and the rest of the gang at the bar are first highlighted by Diane s latest date, who shows up at the bar dressed in Renaissance garb. But the greater rift is displayed when Sam invites everyone, including Frasier, to his place to watch The Magnificent Seven, everyone that is except Diane. It is this act that makes Diane storm out of the bar in tears as the outsider. The next day, she s still wallowing in tears of self-pity. To make it up to her, Frasier suggests that they all partake in an activity that Diane would choose, he suggesting an opera, not just an opera, but Diane s favorite opera, Lucia di Lammermoor. Frasier makes all the arrangements, all they have to do is show up. Not only does Sam go, but also Norm, Woody and Cliff; Carla kindly declines, both for her sake and Diane s as well. The night is perfect for Diane: box seats, a ride in a limo, her favorite flowers and the four men dressed in their best tuxedos. Diane is still in tears, but now they re tears of joy. Regardless, everyone in their group including Diane and unbeknownst to each other, falls asleep during the opera. However the evening ends with Sam and Diane back at the bar alone. Diane is still basking in the joy of the night. This leads Diane right into Sam s arms. This is when Sam has to admit that the night was all Frasier s idea and Frasier s planning. To this, Diane states that she is attracted to Sam more from his admission of truth. Although Sam s more immediate goal is to get Diane into bed, that is thwarted by Diane suggesting that they not that night if only to preserve the meaning of their longer term relationship. Sam s going to have to take a cold shower instead.
