    Don't Serve That Drink

    Rebecca is annoyed because she doesn't seem to have much to do at the bar. She runs around with a cigar box full of receipts and doesn't seem to get much respect. Deservedly so. But one day, she gets a letter that has been returned and it has devastating news. While this is going on, there is a poker game going on in the pool room. Wood plies his trade.

    • Trivia
      Frasier mentions plans to visit Nantucket. This was actually a reference to him (and Lillith) making a crossover appearance on sister series Wings, which originally aired immediately following the Cheers episode.
    • Goofs
      At the very end, just before the collapse of the glasses rack above the bar, many glasses can be seen moving above Rebecca as she speaks to Sam and the alcohol agents.
    • Quotes

      John Allen Hill: Right now, I'm entertaining two hundred elderly women from the Daughters of the American Revolution.

      Sam Malone: Giving them a first hand account, John?
