Rebecca is in awe of the woman. Despite Rebecca not being the best student and a bit of a suck up, Alice liked her for her sheer determination. Sam sees Alice\u0027s visit as an opportunity to pick the brain of a business professor as to ways to buy back the bar. As with Sam and any woman, they end up sleeping together. Rebecca is shocked that her mentor would slum with the likes of Sam. Although a one-nighter in Sam\u0027s mind, Rebecca believes that for a woman with the class of Alice, she probably is expecting some sort of commitment from Sam. As it turns out, it too was just a casual fling for Alice. Rebecca, conflicted about her feelings as she feels it showed low morals for someone like Alice to sleep casually with Sam, has to decide whether to stand up to her mentor and risk losing her friendship, or continue to be the suck up she always has been while no longer respecting her. Meanwhile, Carla is being audited by the IRS and uses Norm\u0027s accounting services and advice, which may or may not be such a good idea as Norm advises her to submit fake receipts.","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":"Alexis Smith","code":"nm0807252","characters":"Alice Anne Volkman"},{"name":"Stack Pierce","code":"nm0682474","characters":"Donald Zajac"},{"name":"Diedrich Bader","code":"nm0046033","characters":"Waiter"},{"name":"Lee Allen","code":"nm9476357","characters":"Bar Patron"},{"name":"Susan Avants","code":"nm0042790","characters":"Bar Patron"},{"name":"Joey Banks","code":"nm0052183","characters":"Bar Patron"},{"name":"Don Bennett","code":"nm13916806","characters":"Bar Patron"},{"name":"Robin Blake","code":"nm0086708","characters":"Restaurant Patron"},{"name":"Robert Buckingham","code":"nm0118504","characters":"Restaurant Patron"},{"name":"Joan Carey","code":"nm0136974","characters":"Bar Patron"},{"name":"Elena Frank","code":"nm0290919","characters":"Bar Patron"}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[{"text":"north america"},{"text":"northern hemisphere"},{"text":"alcohol"},{"text":"reference to a christmas story"},{"text":"accounting"}],"production":[{"id":"co0010609","text":"Charles\/Burrows\/Charles Productions"},{"id":"co0053559","text":"Paramount Television"},{"id":"co0053559","text":"Paramount Television"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[]}
