Ep 11. Don Juan is Hell

In Cheers season 4 episode 11, titled "Don Juan is Hell," the gang at Cheers is surprised when Sam starts dating a woman named Kris. She seems to be perfect in every way, and everyone is happy for Sam. However, things take a turn when Kris reveals that she has a jealous ex-boyfriend named Donald, who is a expert marksman and may be dangerous.

Despite the warning signs, Sam is convinced that Kris is the one for him and that he can handle any situation that comes their way. He continues to see her, even as Donald starts stalking him and leaving threatening messages. Sam thinks he can take care of the problem on his own, but his friends at Cheers worry that he's putting himself in danger.

As the situation escalates, Sam begins to realize that he may have misjudged Kris. She seems more interested in drama and chaos than in building a real relationship with him. He also starts to see that he can't handle the situation alone, and he turns to his friends at Cheers for help.

The gang comes up with a plan to catch Donald and put an end to his threats. However, when the plan goes awry, Sam finds himself in a dangerous situation with no easy way out. In the end, it's up to his friends at Cheers to save him and help him see the truth about Kris.

"Don Juan is Hell" is a classic episode of Cheers that showcases the show's talent for blending comedy and drama. While there are plenty of laughs to be had - especially at Sam's expense - there are also some tense and serious moments that keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

One of the biggest themes of the episode is the idea that sometimes our emotions can blind us to the truth. Sam is so infatuated with Kris that he overlooks some pretty serious warning signs, and he puts himself in danger as a result. It's only when he admits to himself that he can't handle the situation on his own that he's able to get the help he needs and see Kris for who she really is.

The relationship between Sam and his friends at Cheers is also front and center in this episode. While Sam can be stubborn and independent, he ultimately knows that he can rely on his friends when it matters most. Cheers has always been a show about the importance of community and friendship, and "Don Juan is Hell" is a great example of that.

Overall, "Don Juan is Hell" is a standout episode of Cheers that showcases the show's ability to tackle serious topics while still being funny and heartwarming. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to Cheers, this episode is definitely one to check out.
