- As part of Cheers' program to assign a designated driver for the evening, all the regulars place their names into a hat. Of all the people to be chosen, the assignment falls on Norm, who is unable to enjoy a beer while he shuttles everyone to their respective destinations.
Meanwhile, Kelly Gaines stops by the bar to see Woody before she heads off to study abroad in Europe. Woody has gotten her a 'promise ring,' a gesture that one day he intends to get her a real ring someday. However, the mood is broken when Woody's feelings that Kelly's Dad is sending her away to be away from Woody comes out, and Kelly leaves her the bar in a bad mood, returning Woody's ring.
Hoping to make amends for this mess, Woody and Sam go to the Gaines' mansion, where Woody manages to sneak into Kelly's room, asking her to elope with him. He is almost caught when Mr Gaines comes to the door, but ends up hiding in Kelly's closet. As he does so, he overhears Mr Gaines tell Kelly that if she stills wishes to be with Woody when she comes back, he will accept this. After he leaves, Woody comes out of the closet, explaining that he can't take Kelly away from such a caring father. As he attempts to leave, Woody finds the ladder that got him there (along with Sam) gone from the window. The audience then sees Sam with one of the Gaines' chambermaids eating popcorn and watching the movie "Ghostbusters" on TV.
