- A construction crew is busy working at the top of the stairs leading down to Cheers, causing a slow-down in customers. When the workmen come down for a drink, Sam attempts to 'grease the wheels' with free beer, but Rebecca refuses to allow such tactics. Needless to say, the workmen then slow down the work process.
When the topic turns to Cheers having a back entrance, Norm jumps at the idea, claiming that he's sure that a back entrance would be feasible in the Pool Room. Rebecca allows Norm to remove the bars on a back window. Though it looks too small, Norm is sure he can fit through it...until he becomes stuck.
Meanwhile, Ma Claven is visiting Boston, and she stops by the bar. Though it soon becomes clear that Cliff doesn't want Ma staying in his new bachelor pad, Woody offers Mrs Claven to stay with him.
Before long, Ma is doing all sorts of activities with Woody, causing Cliff to grow jealous.
