- Diane calls Sam to tell him that she is marrying Frasier tomorrow, and Sam flies to Italy at the last minute to stop the wedding.
- On what turns out to be a less than romantic dinner date for Frasier and Diane due to some unfortunate circumstances concerning the renowned restaurant's longtime chef/owner, Frasier, regardless, decides to go ahead with his plan to ask Diane to marry him. He has made arrangements for the ceremony to take place the following day at a romantic Florentine estate. Caught off guard by the question, Diane, who still has feelings for Sam, tries one last ditch attempt to get some sort of commitment from him by calling him at Cheers. Without directly asking for that commitment, Diane tells Sam of Frasier's proposal. Sam is unable to give Diane that commitment since he believes she called just to gloat about her happiness. So Diane accepts Frasier's proposal. In the sober realization of the post telephone call, Sam thinks that he made a big mistake by not telling Diane not to marry Frasier. He impulsively decides to fly to Florence to stop the wedding. However, a piece of new technology in Sam's office may inadvertently place a kibosh on a Sam/Diane happy ending.—Huggo
- Sam gets an answering machine on which he records an outgoing message to fool whoever is calling, he records his name and takes a LONG pause before telling the caller that they are talking to a machine. In Italy Fraiser and Diane go out to dinner where Fraiser proposes to Diane she is very surprised and "accidentally" knocks over a glass of water, it spills on her,and she leaves the table to clean up. While away she calls Sam to tell him the news and that her and Fraiser will be married tomorrow, obviously she calls him so he will tell her not to marry Fraiser instead Sam gives her his blessing. Diane goes back to the table tells Fraiser that she was just overwhelmed and that of coarse the answer is yes. At the bar taking about the phone call Norm tells Sam that Diane probably called to so Sam would talk her out of it, Sam says that that's exactly what what she wanted so that she could laugh in his face about it but that he's outsmarted her this time. Than there is the wedding which Sam crashes, right at the alter he talks to Diane getting her to admit that she doesn't love Fraiser she loves him, Fraiser not too ecstatic says fine and that he's happy for them. Sam walks away carrying Diane and they are talking and Diane is saying how she will be better this time, that she won't nag him, and how she won't mind if he dates other women while she remains faithful to him, he is just saying how it would definitely work this time,m that's when Sam is woken from his delusion. Sam asks how long it would take to get to Italy, Norm tells Sam that he thinks that him and Diane are both lovely special people, separately, apart, but that together they stink. Carla knows why Sam is asking and tells him not to go she that he's a hound and will always be a hound, Sam goes anyway. In Italy Fraiser and Diane are at a gas station on the way to get married Diane says she wants to call and tell her mother, when Fraiser walks away Diane calls Sam. At the bar Carla, Cliff, and Norm hear the phone but Carla says that it's Sam's private line and that the machine will pick it up. Diane in Italy while waiting for Sam to answer is saying to herself for Sam to not to be at Cheers but to be on a plane to Italy, she than hear's the machine pick-up saying Sam Malone, Diane hangs up and when Fraiser comes over says that why don't they just get married right then and there. At that time Sam has some kind of chill go through him while on a plane going to Italy.—Ricky
- While in Italy, Frasier and Diane stop at a restaurant, where Frasier proposes to her, requesting they get married the next day. Diane attempts to say how happy she is, accidentally spilling water on herself. Going off to clean herself up, Diane calls Cheers. Talking with Sam on the phone, she explains what has happened, but seems hoping Sam will say 'something.' Instead, Sam wishes her well. However, after he hangs up, Sam has a daydream in which he arrives in Italy, disrupting the wedding, and carries off Diane, in which she promises to let him do more of what he wants.
Coming out of the daydream, Sam asks the others how long it'd take to get to Italy. Cliff helps Sam find a flight, much to Carla's pleading with Sam not to go.
Sam heads off, but has another vision on the plane, in which Diane and Frasier's car has broken down, and Diane again attempts to call Sam, hoping that he isn't at Cheers and is coming for her. When she hears Sam's voice ( not realizing it's his new answering machine), she hangs up, and tells Frasier that they should get married as soon as possible.
Sam awakes from the dream, and ponders.
