Sam wants to grease the wheels by bribing the workmen with free beer, but Rebecca refuses. The workmen initiate a work slow-down. After that Sam, thinks they have to up the bribe ante, but again Rebecca refuses. As such, Rebecca suggests building a back entrance to the bar from the alley. During that work, Norm gets stuck between the iron bars in the back window. They call in the police to get him unstuck. Rebecca uses this situation as an inopportune time to implement the earlier lesson from Sam. Meanwhile, Ma Clavin comes back to Boston for a visit. Cliff, with his new bachelor lifestyle, doesn\u0027t want her to stay with him. Woody, on the other hand, offers his place to Ma Clavin. Woody becomes Ma Clavin\u0027s surrogate son. The two of them have a great time together. Cliff initially feigns disinterest in Ma and Woody\u0027s relationship, but after Ma calls Woody \u0022son\u0022, Cliff admits that he wants his Ma back. Is there enough love in Ma\u0027s heart for two sons, and conversely can Cliff and Woody share a Ma?","wins":0,"nominations":null,"casts":[{"name":"Ted Danson","code":"nm0001101","characters":"Sam Malone"},{"name":"Kirstie Alley","code":"nm0000263","characters":"Rebecca Howe"},{"name":"Rhea Perlman","code":"nm0674231","characters":"Carla Tortelli"},{"name":"John Ratzenberger","code":"nm0001652","characters":"Cliff Clavin"},{"name":"Woody Harrelson","code":"nm0000437","characters":"Woody Boyd"},{"name":"Kelsey Grammer","code":"nm0001288","characters":"Dr. Frasier Crane"},{"name":"George Wendt","code":"nm0001841","characters":"Norm Peterson"},{"name":"Frances Sternhagen","code":"nm0827973","characters":"Esther Clavin"},{"name":"Rocky La Porte","code":"nm1736259","characters":"Jeff"},{"name":"John Posey","code":"nm0692663","characters":"Lars"},{"name":"Paul Willson","code":"nm0932750","characters":"Paul Krapence"},{"name":"Peter Schreiner","code":"nm0775322","characters":"Pete"},{"name":"Ken Foree","code":"nm0286010","characters":"Policeman #1"},{"name":"James F.
