When Sam fills the Cheers gang in on his plan to marry Diane and leave the bar to move to California with her, his friends are understandably upset. Angry at their lack of support, he heads to the airport on a sour note to begin his "new life." However, while waiting for the plane to take off, Sam and Diane both experience severe second thoughts. When they finally find the courage to discuss their feelings, they realize that, as much as they love each other, their relationship just can't work. Sadder but a little wiser, they wish each other luck and bid each other a warm farewell. Deeply depressed, Sam returns to Cheers hoping for comfort from the gang.

Sitting alone in his bar, Sam finally realizes how lucky, and happy, he truly is.
