    Two Solid Stories

    The titular plot is yet another Sam and Diane story, but it's also in a way a Sam and Frasier story. It's puzzling why Frasier would go to Sam with his problem, considering that Sam is partly the cause of it. Perhaps he's looking for reassurance that Sam doesn't carry a torch for Diane? That may be part of it, but Frasier, doggone it, just values Sam's friendship. Of course, when Sam finds out the truth, he's insufferable towards Diane, who in the end turns the tables on Sam.

    The other plot heralds the return of Lewis, Cliff's coworker. When Cliff spies Lewis taking a cologne sample from a magazine, he's presented with a dillemma. Cliff's dogged adherence to the rules competes with his cowardice. Lewis is always funny, and Cliff's attempts to weasel his way out of this are quite amusing as well.

    What's in a Name

    Frasier comes to see Sam to describe an event that he fictionalizes. It is obvious that Diane said Sam's name during sex, and Frasier is having trouble with the event. While this is going on, Cliff blows the whistle on a fellow postman who took a perfume sample out of a magazine--the result is his firing. Cliff again proves himself to be a nightmare in the workplace. He will have to face off against the guy he attacked.

      Diane makes an uncharacteristic grammatical error when she says the relationship "between Sam and I" is over. It should be. "...Sam and me..."

      Diane Chambers: This problem is strictly between myself and Frasier Crane. Suffice it to say, he insists on making mountains out of mole hills.
