Add Synopsis
Storyline
Lisa, the Coach's Plain Jane daughter, stops by the bar so that she can introduce Coach to her fiancé, Roy. Roy is an obnoxious lout which is obvious to all. Even though Diane initially gives Roy the benefit of the doubt, she also eventually comes to the same conclusion as everyone else. The Coach has a heart-to-heart with his daughter regarding his feelings about Roy. Lisa realizes that Roy is a lout and that he is only marrying her to advance his career - she is his boss - but she wants to be married and have a family. She feels Roy may be her only chance. A realization by Coach about Lisa may make Lisa come to an important realization about herself and in turn her current engagement. Elsewhere in the bar, Diane embarks upon drawing caricatures of bar patrons; like most of Diane's creative endeavors, her ambition far exceeds her talent. And Coach makes an admission about the glasses in the bar. Written by Huggo

Quotes
Diane Chambers: Sam, I'll only ask this once. Now if you say no, it's no. But I would love to start doing caricatures of the customers here. Caricature is a satirical form of art that the common man loves and I think that it would just be a wonderful memento of our customers visits here...Sam Malone: No.

Coach shines in this episode involving his wallflower daughter, Lisa (Allyse Beasley), stopping by Cheers to introduce Roy, her obnoxious ass of a fiancé whom everyone dislikes almost immediately. Coach has to find it in himself to tell his daughter exactly how he feels about this new man in her life which leads to a pretty memorable, well-acted scene by the late great Nicholas Colasanto that solidified my enderance to one of the beloved characters in all of TV land. Meanwhile, Diane takes up a new hobby which doesn't go spectacularly well (for either here or the bar patrons). Philip Charles MacKenzie is suitably slimy as Roy, the loser door-to-door fiancé
