** Rebecca talks about having to get rid of her Mercedes, presumably because going from manager of Cheers for Lillian to manager of Cheers for Sam involved a big pay cut. In Season 7 premiere "[[Recap/CheersS7E1 How to Recede in Business]]" Rebecca is talking about buying the Mercedes, and she accepts a humiliating performance plan at Lillian so she can still afford the car.

It's another scorcher in Boston, and as Carla's found out, the minimum security prison chain gang is outside the bar picking up trash, and that includes Rebecca's boyfriend Robin Colcord. And naturally, Boston's evilest barmaid is having the time of her life taunting the white collar convicts in her own way.

Elsewhere, Norm's learned some disturbing news: The Hungry Heffer, his favorite eatery, is shutting down. Not one to let this stand, the normally lazy Norm is fired up to save the Heffer.
