Storyline

Woody embarks on his new life as City Councilman. Norm embarks on his new life as civil servant as Woody pulled some strings to get him an accounting job at City Hall. And Rebecca and Sam embark on their new relationships... possibly. Don asks Rebecca to marry him. Will her regular "I've got to marry a rich man" impulse makes her say no? And after seeing her win an ACE Cable Award on television, Sam makes the decision to get in touch with Diane. Sam lies to her about how happy he is in his life, and he suspects that she too is lying about how happy her married life is. But only a visit by Diane to Boston may make both realize what they want in life, which specifically for Sam can be summed up by a comment from Norm: "You can never be unfaithful to your one true love". Cheers.

User Reviews

A Finale done right

After 11 years .....the stakes were high in making a final episode worthy of all the consistent fun during one of TV's golden era....NBC's great Thursday nights...

This episode was funny, didn't shy away from anything, brought everyone together, didn't forget its past...I love how all the bar regulars were included.... the nods to how things have changed over the 11 years...and wrapped everything up in a nice bow...Even being a 3 episode arc it didn't seem too long.. THe laughs kept going to the very last scene...A great good-bye....

Now up...Frasier
