The Little Match Girl (#11.1)
ComedyFan201028 June 2014
Warning: Spoilers
After the wedding Rebecca is depressed about her life and wants to quit smoking. She drops her cigarette into the garbage which ends up in burning down the bar. She doesn't want to tell Sam what the cause of fire was and he thinks it is his own fault. But when she sees him so down, not getting insurance and having to sell his car she tells the truth. He kicks her out, but then takes her back in.

This is less of a funny episode and and ore dramatic. Sure there were some funny moments ("So you monkeys have discovered fire?"), Cheers is good at that. But most of the time one just feels the pain of the characters and seeing Cheers being burned down, as well as one feels for Rebecca. The ending was very sweet. Sam taking Rebecca back because he didn't forget how she took him to work at the bar when he needed help.

Very Touching
Hitchcoc10 September 2019
A dramatic beginning to the final season. Rebecca is exhausted after the wedding and is lounging around in the office with a cigarette. She inadvertently drops the cigarette in a waste basket and burns down the bar. Then she has a crisis of conscience. Sam can't afford the repairs and his deductible is enormous. This is pretty much unlike any other episode during the duration of this show. But it has a realistic ending.
