So Diane is off to Europe with Frasier for six months...but what about Sam?

9.9

"Superb"

By Such_A_Diane, Aug 10, 2005

This episode is a really good episode yet really quite sad. Not only is Diane leaving for Europe with Frasier but this was Nicholas Colasanto's last appearance as Coach (apart from one outtake in Rescue Me), who sadly died of heart failure.

So Frasier asks Diane to go to Europe with him for six months and she says yes. Now, however much I like Frasier, I was *screaming* at my tv, telling Diane not to go because she belongs with Sam, but she does go, and Sam dutifully throws her a going away party.

At the end of the going away party, when the bar is empty, Sam and Diane hug and find it hard to separate themselves, especially after all they had been through together. Finally, they break apart and Diane starts to walk away before running to Sam and passionately kissing him (I should hope so too). They start to leave the bar together but Diane says something which Sam misinterprets, making Diane decide that sleeping with Sam that night would be wrong and goes to Europe with Frasier.

That scene is so Sam and Diane because they and every else knows that they belong together but things just don't go right. The hug is so funny yet so sad because Diane is leaving (Just like she did at the end of season two and like she would do at the end of season 5)moreless

- Sam: Diane, listen to me. I think we both realize that a lot of things can happen when you leave like this. Who knows when we'll see each other again? I'd like you to do me a favor. Diane: What's that, Sam? Sam: I've been a real jerk to you sometimes. I'd appreciate it when you think of me you remember me as a decent person. Diane: Of course. I'll remember you as Albert Schweitzer.

- Sam: Listen to me. I'm sincere about this, I like you two and I want to see you both happy. Diane: Thank you, Sam. Sam: After all just because the two of us didn't travel well- Diane: When did we ever travel? Sam: Are you kidding me? We went through hell together. Diane: Well it helps that you knew the language.

NOTES (3)
ADD NOTES
- This is Nick Colasanto's (Coach) last filmed appearance. He would appear again in a previous, unused scene in Season 3's last episode, ''Rescue Me''.
  EDIT SHARE
- James Burrows earned a 1985 Emmy nomination for Best Direction in a Comedy Series for his work on this episode.
  EDIT SHARE
- Roughly two days after the taping of this episode, Nicholas Colasanto died of a heart attack. It was explained on the show that Coach went on vacation, and outtakes were used near the end of the season after his character "came back." At the beginning of year four, Sam weakly explains Coach's death to Woody, since they never really gave his character any real farewell, nor explained his character's demise.
